This is not a debate about who likes to play what mode, but the number of players is decreasing. I won't say to reduce the number of game servers, because that would be significantly unfriendly to existing players. What I mean is that the game mode needs to gather players together, reduce the waiting time for players to play the game, and focus more on the core gameplay of the game, 2v2, 3v3, arena, clone mode, 2v2 ranking, 3v3 ranking, each mode requires a different amount of time, OW and APEX did not dare to have so many game modes in the early days of their launch
#I feel like we should focus on one game mode

could be, in my opinion arena is just an extra mode which is stealing players from the br mode

I don't play arena at all, but I think there's a good case to be made that 90% of the people playing Arena wouldn't ever play the BR mode anyway, so removing it wouldn't help BR queue times anyway.
Whereas removing duo queue, 50% of them might leave, and 50% would go to squads.

I do not play duo/ squad cuz it can be frustrating playing with randoms, where everyone want to play however they want. At lest in arena its not time consuming, n the focus is often met by the team

I play Arena because I dislike battle royale's. Supervive's br is fine, but i play hero based games to fight and arena delivers that to me on an even playing field.
All that to say: if Arena were removed i would probably not play supervive again.

This is not a debate about who likes to play what mode, but the number of player...
i couldnt agree more.
if i had it my way, there'd only be one mode but since theres already multiple, i hope they rotate instead:
do 1 ranked, 1 non ranked game mode every week, then swap into the next.
6 game modes for ~5k players makes queue times awful

Squads BR and Arena being the only two modes would make sense. Both have teams of 4, so characters can be balanced around that team composition. Joule for example is mediocre in squads because there's too much chaos and she can be focused down easily, but in duos she can win a 1v1 against pretty much anybody. Meanwhile, support/utility characters like Elluna and Celeste are decent in squads but pretty bad in duos. Different team sizes complicates any changes as they have different effects on different modes.
