Instead of waiting in lobbies for matches, how about a new format with a global chat/chatrooms separate for your server. Players queue from a menu (replays or singleplayer), get matched, and play in private instances for quicker matches.

eventually you could match based on elo, but that only works if you have enough playerbase to fill the ranks which we dont. so itd have to be random unless your doing a big server or private with friends which would be similar to now? but i remember tb tried this with ranked a while back and no one really touched it, the ui needs to make it apparent that people need to play through the new system and only creating servers for personal reasons(like now ig)
