We’ve also heard your feedback about TDM – both for and against it as a Ranked mode – and there are many conversations taking place in the studio about the future of this popular game type.
@TC who are you listening to?
according to your dev stream the numbers indicate otherwise (that Ranked TDM is what a majority of players wants), A few people do not represent the majority but the numbers are a better indication (i.e. popular game type)…
This forum feels like we are shouting into the abyss. where does TC get this feedback from?

I’ve wondered the same question about TC and many other business/corporate entities haha. Though the new ranking system seems to address much of frustration discussed on the forums on previous rank systems.
Anyways, I don’t understand the reasoning for removing one of the most popular modes from ranked. I have mixed opinions on tdm as I was always more of a warzone guy, but ranked tdm was my next go-to playlist as I prefer non-objective modes over objective (though I do play other modes periodically).
Admittedly, once gridiron came out, I have probably played that more than tdm, but again I think it’s good to have at least one ranked non-objective mode that obviously a lot of people still play(ed). Not that the ranked players are all stellar players, but making social only, new/super casual players are gonna get wrecked if the ranked population all switched over to social tdm.
Not to mention it seems like many tdm players enjoyed the ranked playlist more than social one. Maybe that’s just me?

It’s already competitive and suited for ranked.

Quickplay is one round to win, You spend more time voting, loading and sitting in intermission than you do playing. Not to mention when it starts with 5 versus 3. It is absolute trash,

I think an easy fix for tdm would be instead of a 5 death limit per player which imo would make camping a problem for players on their 5th life. After the first 5 deaths, any subsequent deaths would hurt the player’s rank heavily. So the next game the stronger player’s wouldn’t have to deal with that player.

Would be easier to subtract GP for each death. If it’s something like 10 GP a kill, -5 GP per death. That way, if their K/D is in negative they’d lose points at the end of the match, in addition to the entry cost… Which, as you suggested, would hurt their rank.

Even worse is that there’s a bigass tutorial on it before you start.

Then you clearly haven’t played social TDM. It is one round to win, frequently starts with massively uneven teams (such as 5 v 3), and ends up placing Onyx, Diamond and Masters players with bronze and silver. It’s absolute trash.
Why do you even care at all? If you don’t like to play Ranked TDM then don’t. How does it affect you if I want to play Ranked TDM?

Bring ranked TDM and Escalation back and remove KoTH.
Why?
Because koth was originally in gears one used for gnasher duels not ranked.
Escalation is pro mode so should be in ranked. Don’t like it then your arguments for koth are now invalid.
Gridiron apparently from esports streams there looking at bring that into a pro mode which means again should be kept in ranked.
2v2 I’m 50/50 on
FFA is for your solo flex players that like to moan about team based modes but play them solo anyway and when lose moan about losing points.
In a way FFA shouldn’t be ranked as outlined above the solo flex players choose team based modes.
Before you disagree with KoTH because it’s objection based, so is Escalation but a lot more objective based.

Sorry haven’t seen or played LOL mode
I think he means League of Legends?
Get this trending on the forums and on twitter boys and girls. #BringTDMbackOrIQuit 
Seriously though what is wrong with them? Why is it not back yet? Why are they listening to 1 person in 1000 about there being an issue with TDM?! It was fine and would work great with this new ranked system. Yeah don’t get me wrong I moaned a few times about getting rubbish teammates but I didn’t stop playing, like I’m finding myself doing now.

Won’t matter if everyone quit Gears5, they wouldn’t bring TDM back before op5.
100% this op for us will be maybe the last…
I turned off music completely in the menu to handle this.

If TC gets enough feedback that people want it back 5v5 with stacks they may well do that
