I'm not exactly sure why unrated is the same as competitive in terms of best of 25. People just want to hop on and get in a quick game where they can complete their dailies and chill. Since SR doesn't have the ability to purchase weapons and abilities, you're limited to what you can complete in there. I'm a huge fan of replication as it's the closest we had to this, but thats available once every two months due to the carousel of new game modes. Having to play a game that could last up to 50 minutes is pretty intimidating most days. Are there any plans on lowering the unrated games to make it more of a 20 - 25 minute commitment?
Edit: think the suggestion to add a new, permanent game mode would be a fantastic idea to keep unrated as is. I honestly don't see many new people wanting to try this game out long-term. The two complaints I get (at least with my group) is both the length of matches, and what seems like the RNG of the spray. They enjoyed playing replication, but it's rotated out and they lose interest. Have to believe this is a common complaint for new people that want to get into this game a little more. Also, the same goes for me. I've played since beta, but lately have lost a lot of interest to play unrated or competitive. I enjoy the game still, but the time commitment needed to play an actual match can be pretty overbearing at times.
