As someone who used to main PVP I had all but given it up on it the last few seasons due to various reasons(poor matchmaking/lobby balancing, ability spam etc..).
I then gave Solo Survival(which I had not played in years) another try. I had avoided this mode as I thought there was nothing to play for but then I realised there is nothing to play for in Control either. I have to say I came back pleasantly surprised with how good the Survival plays currently.
From what I have played this season, this mode has far superior lobby balancing with many more close matches and less blow-outs than the so call non-competitive modes. I also found with it being 3v3(which most maps are designed for) and some degree of SBMM in place that there is room to breathe, grow & improve as PVP player.
I now main this mode for PVP and I would highly recommend any player who is frustrated with Control and other non-competitive PVP modes give this a try. You never know you may not look back.

3 RepliesYea I just hit legend earlier this week and it was a fun grind, super competitive but to your point OP. I noticed I got better with various things like awareness, closing gaps on man up plays, and playing life. Good times and very sweaty but that’s fun for me
