Yeah, it does. 
Fewer people out there looking to queue when they’re just gonna get everything from shuffle on day 3 of the 6 month season.
Hmm? No, I’m sort of outside this cycle.
Again, kind of missing the point, somehow. Not quite sure how people try to dodge the very significant point of the easier more convenient and accessible mode offering all the same rewards isn’t a big deal when obviously people are gonna take the path of least resistance whatever it may be.
Sort of like how 2s would be the most popular mode if they took shuffles 600 free mmr and put it in there.
