This has my vote. It would literally harm no-one if another gambit playlist without the pvp aspect was added. Perhaps the blockers could be a little beefed up or could spawn in groups like 1 original minion + 2 red bar taken phalanxes or something like that. The mote requiremend could be a little higher to compensate the risk of losing them upon getting killed by an invader. I've seen my fair share of invaders doing nothing besides camping the portal. Having an option for a playlist where this possibility is disabled would be nice.

  • Um it would for sure alter the matchmaking on current Gambit, so ya it will harm. The no PvP Gambit is so pointless to ask for. What would the purpose be? Absolutely no gamble whatsoever. Kill adds fast, melt boss fast. It would be so predictable.

  • I'm certain with the current number of active users on at any one time, matchmaking won't be heavily affected enough to warrant removing the proposed gamemode. The thing you're missing is there is still an invader mechanic that can still affect the opposing team's ability to efficiently gather and bank motes; it's not just a race, it's a race where you can trip your competitors.

  • No, it will be basic race that will have even a more specific meta. Blockers aren’t invading, and are very easy to take down, especially in basic Gambit. Introducing a patrol mode Gambit takes away a majority of people who dislike PvP involved, which is the entire point of Gambit. You guys are asking for an entirely different game mode, but still want it to correlate to Gambit. Not Gambit without a gamble. Blockers aren’t a gamble lol.

  • As I've said in a multitude of other replies, Gambit Light will still have invading, I'm just trying to find a way to do it that doesn't involve direct combat, there will still be a gamble. Likewise giving players who don't enjoy PvP an environment where they can compete without it would not only do them good, but will also do the Gambit and Gambit Prime gameplay good too. Now you won't have easy steamroll matches where the other team aren't good with PvP, every match you join will be a challenge, you'll actually have to work for your wins every time now, doesn't that sound good? Now you won't be pared with players who are "useless", you won't need to singlehandedly carry matches because you're the only one on your team who will actually combat other players, doesn't that sound good? This is nothing but a benefit to all players affected and will do nothing to detrimentally harm the current Gambit gamemodes, especially since it won't replace any, it will create its own.
