OH MY HOLY DAMN GOD WOW - THIS IDEA OF MINE WAS ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTED! Thanks sooo much staff ily! ;DThis is an idea I've had for a while:
(I will add more to this)
I think that Badlion should implement a ranked and unranked Skywars with a similiar join system to that found on the ArenaPvP servers, for example - there could be a duel system as well as kits. Although this may not be an original idea, I think it would be cool to have a Skywars with the competitive backbone that Badlion has (e.g. ELO, Clans).
There are many Skywars servers, but many of them have mechanics that lean towards P2W (kits, paid for votes). I think that a Badlion Skywars could be a proper PvP and kb skill based game that is unaffected by the popular mechanics of other Skywars servers around 'upgrades' and 'RNG mechanics'
Thanks for reading, please post below with any improvements and constructive criticism towards my idea.
EDIT: ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS:
- Easily accessible (not waiting for too long in a lobby)
- Rapid game modes.
- Kits
- Normal & OP Gear Mode

Skywars in itself seems like a really simple game mode.Hypixel is by far the largest skywars network at the moment.
My question is what could we do that would make ours just as popular if not more popular.
Like Survival Games peaks around 300-400 players but I was hoping for a higher peak. I want to bring new players in and keep our 800k+ players on the network longer

Perks/kits available to both donor's and non-donors unlocked only through some form of BL currency.
Great ideas, I'm not much of a skywars players mainly because the people that do play on other servers are terrible, but badlion skywars would be interesting. I would say the main 2 things that I think players want is the ability to buy special kits with an in-game balance. You could also add donor only kits which I would suggest but I understand that you don't want to be pay-to-win. And the other very important thing is the short wait for a game, I would say once the game gets full and 8-16 people have jumped in the portal to get into it, there should be a 5 or 10 second wait. Don't do longer than 10 because I don't, and I don't think that other people will want to wait that long for a skywars game, but yeah I really like this. You could even do ranked and unranked if you wanted.
1 more suggestion if you do ranked and unranked, I think it would be cool if donators could gift some matches to non-donors, AND I think it would be really cool non-donors win a match it doesn't cost them a game. That would be nice and cool. Thanks for reading.

I'll be honest with you, it would bring in many players instantaneously. But I do not think this should be your focus, the network's competitive integrity is more important.
Additionally, what it would be, is a good non p2w game with a competitive edge.. In the long run, that feature alone would attract players that like me, are unsatisfied with what other servers offer. Whether the issues be no EU, bad party join systems etc.
I think there should be a Team Skywars too btw.
