The main way my friends and I play this game is 2v2’s and 3v3 crews, but when you play in an online queue with multiple people, you cannot entire a training room while you wait. You are stuck just looking at the loby and nothing else. And since those are less active queues, the time you are sitting there might be 5, 10 minues, and its incredibly boring, and incentivizes players to just drop out of queue and do something else (which only exacerbates queue time issues). And once you finally DO find a game, your hands are cold after spending 5+ minutes doing nothing but looking at a loading circle. I know doing 1v1s or 1v1v1s against your teammates while you wait in queue is tough because it requires more server reservations (unless it was forced peer to peer using the person who made the loby as the host?), but PLEASE at least let us practice tech and lab and combo a dummy or cpu around in an offline training room while we wait. I know its possible because you can do that in solo queue modes like ranked or solo queueing crews! Just let us do it individually when we queue up with friends please!! It would instantly make my friend group willing to sit in queue for so much longer. And maybe other friend groups would feel the same and it would help breathe a little more life into those queues as well!
I know this isn’t a well known issue because a lot of people i mention this to say “you already can enter training mode while in queue,” but that is only if you queue solo. I know queueing with friends is less popular than solo, even in modes like crews, but sitting in queue and being forced to do nothing is such a miserable experience that is exponentially more frustrating by the fact that it seems like it’d be such a simple implementation since the framework for being in queue while in training mode already exists for solo queues. Please please please just let me beat up a dummy while I waaait!
