I think they should just replace Arenas with TDM, same maps, five players per squad. You select your primary and secondary weapon (blue tier, non-upgradeable). Blue shields/health that auto-regen like control. No loot. Abiliities as usual. You, die, back to base, longer waiting period each time. You can change legends (no identical legends per team) when you spawn. Penalties for quitting/AFK.
Add DM and CTF if it works.
Then all the HDHs and HDLs can go play that and the rest of us can play a BR as it's supposed to be played.
So it's time and effort in vs. return.
Yes, more stale. But I have also reduced my own effort and commitment to the game ever since the new Ranked system was introduced and imploded. I pretty much pug casual now, and there are still 80% of games that don't matter/are a waste of time, but the rest are okay. The game lends itself to me not caring and being able to walk away, so that's why I still play it.
Obviously, they could not just do a better job at Respawn, but they could also stop making their game worse in areas like Ranked play. That's on them, though.
