Ok time for another long reply lol
First the hot potato is just hitting someone with the potato (if you have it)
Just like in pvp and the dodgeballs will act like snowballs
I’m not exactly sure how long it would take to get across but by sprinting during green light it probably wouldn’t take long
Ye my idea Party Queue Match Making For CTF
Would also be useful here for this game and other team based games
I wasn’t saying it would be exactly like that (bc it’s not fast timed and it’s 1 round) but the it would be if you finish your micro build you will be safe from elimination
And that is what would make it a popular game
Hope this addressed the rest of the issues you had
