For game modes that have a minimum requirement of players (SCBB, HG, etc) there should be an option to /vote start which, if enough players in the lobby also voted, would start the game with the current number of players.
This would make it easier for game modes that are not as populated to get a game going. Say for instance you are in the scbb lobby and there are 3 players, you would have to wait for another one to show up (not likely), all the while hoping the other 2 players with you don't leave. Alternatively if you had 6 players in an scbb match you could have two games of 3 going on instead of one with 4 while the other 2 do nothing. With this new system you could just start the game with whatever number of players you have. This would increase the number of games happening throughout the day. More games mean more players on since they don't have to wait forever to find a match.
The only downside to this system is that you would have to lower or remove the tokens/gems for winning in shortened games, since it could be abused to farm for currency.
