EASHL/WOC PvE mode

I’ve been thinking about a mode where you can take your club or drop in group and play against only CPUs.

The game mode will be a combination of HUT Moments/Wildcard and Pro Am. It will feature challenges for your club to accomplish (win by 5 goals, get a shutout, score SHG, etc.). The games and completed challenges will give you and your club level xp and battle pass xp. 

A big reason for this is with how difficult and long it takes to find games this year. I think this will also be great for newer players to learn the game before going into PVP and for players who aren’t getting the satisfaction with Be A Pro mode. 

Let me know what you all think!

    Hey there. Thanks for the suggestion. Personally, it's not for me. The main reason I play WoC is to play against other humans. I like the idea of challenges though. Not saying this would never happen. That's just my personal feelings on it.

    Can you tell me more about your difficulties with finding matches? Is that just 6v6 club games or are you talking about drop-ins? I mostly play 4s and 5s and haven't really had any issues with matchmaking. Other than the occasional game where we get a team of 2s.

    I have had experiences where we keep going past the expected time it takes to find a game. Trying to either reset the search or letting it ride to 5 min hasn’t done much. Which is why I thought about a PvE mode for WoC, to at least get some games.

    If the search reaches 2 minutes, cancel it and start again. I don't know if it helps or not, but in the uncommon instances that happens, canceling the search and starting it over has always gotten a match pretty quickly.
