I'd like to be able to search for more than one battle at once without already being in a battle.
This is a particular problem for people who play formats with less people playing on their ladders, where it can take five or ten minutes (or more...) to get one single battle in. For example, I like playing RBY, GSC, and ADV OUs. However, I can only search one of those at a time: I can't say, "I'm down for RBY OU, GSC OU, or ADV OU" because you have to choose one and only one.
You're already able to search for and play in another battle even if your current battle has not ended. You see a small button below the usual Find A Battle button saying something to effect of "Find another game". You can get another ladder match while still playing in your first. I don't imagine it would be too difficult to allow this button to appear when you're still searching? (Though I know absolutely 0 about coding, so sorry if that is not the case.)
If this were implemented, I would also request a setting under the gear icon to "Force cancel any other ladder searches when a new battle begins": That way, you don't suddenly get multiple battles opening up in the span of ten seconds.
