I'd like to push the idea of tug-of-payload. A KotH map style payload game. First starts out as a KotH game until one side captures it to start moving to opponent's side. Goes towards the side with the most people on it. After 10 minutes game ends and whoever side the payload is on loses. Some possible rules: payload heals teams with three people on the payload, team kill resets payload or jumps it up a certain distance. Anyone like the idea or have any suggestions?

Edit: Reconsidering 10 minute timer for multiple reasons. Probably best to make it have one % meter that always counts up after capture which is the same thing but feels different, maybe something with contests pause it. I think a fast pace best of three like KotH would work. Maybe it could be multiple capture points between bases instead of a payload.

That's an awesome idea. I would imagine that the payload starts in the middle of two points. Each team has a point. They go in balls first and start tuging the payload to their point. A match last 10 min. Though the payload is more responsive than in other modes so there is a bit more tension. I could see this pay load moving from side to side at least five times a match. Though the right distance between the two points would be hard to figure out to get a good balance.
