Flashpoint mode is terrible

Sniping Reinhards or uncoordinated Chaos sounds more like an elo issue instead of a map thing.

I wholy agree. I feel the mode should at best be an Arcade mode, because with how the mode is made, it simply does not work well with regular play - distances are significant enough that once a team is defeated and the point is captured, there is no point in trying to get back: the big sightlines with ample cover at the flashpoints allow players to camp very effectively. 90% of the map goes to waste, unused, compared to other maps which are tighter in execution.
Hell, Junk City’s map is particularly bad at this as one team kill is all it takes for the enemy team to get to spawn camp, it’s terrible.

I’d very much like for people to be able to opt out of this mess: no one I’ve asked in matches likes it, and plenty of players leave once they know it’s flashpoint. It’s a shame, because I feel the maps could be fun if the mode was restructured somehow.
