A couple of things re: Control and Gun Run

I'm a big mixtape enjoyer; love the short format and variety. I do have the idea that this game mode is probably not very high in Respawn's priorities, but still I've been very frustrated by a couple of things that I think could use a touch up (subjective, but here goes nothing).

In Gun Run I feel as though it is unfair that ability kills advance players to the next weapon. Not every character has offensive abilities that do damage so it feels like the game favours whoever plays those. I don't main a character like that and also don't think I should switch to one of them just to even the odds. I could even swear in earlier Gun Run days that was not a thing that happened, but now I could be 1V1 someone and get killed by a Fuse on the other side of the map who's not even from my opponent's team, and he gets to move ahead by doing nothing. Also Rampart and Vantage players get to have a second weapon. It's just unfair to reward this, I do not get it.

Also it would be GREAT if weapon evolution in Control was fixed somehow. The way that it has been for a while, I'd rather keep my weapons blue through the entirety of the games. Weapon evo has interrupted my melee, throwing a grenade, switching weapons, healing my shields, using my abilities, and this has gotten me killed plenty of times. Why are weapons evo prioritized over actions the player pressed buttons for? These interruptions have even happened when my weapon evolved to gold..... from gold.......... Please 😭

Also, and this is less of a problem, but because the game modes in mixtape tend to have different running times, there's a chance you'll have to play 3 Gun Run games in a row, but Control you only get to play twice if you queue up early on when it gets on rotation. I don't know if editing slightly how long each game mode stays on for could balance this out a bit, but also I understand if there's no interest to do this considering Control has the longest run time out of all of the modes and perhaps a lot of players are ok with just one game at a time.
