Invite a friend directly to a match

Send a direct match invite, just like park invites, that will give a notification we can accept.
With a big friend list you will sometimes match with the wrong person in friends matchmaking. And it's unclear when the friend you made plans with is actually ready so you can wait a long time in friend matchmaking resulting in multiple missmatches. This can be prevented with a direct invite.
- Would be nice if that worked cross region and automatically puts you in their region.
- You can accept the invite from the park friends board.
- And to prevent people stalking you, it only work for those who accepted your friend request.

Yes! We definitely need friend match invites and map choice.

Only thing I want to add to this is that I would also like to suggest being able to pick which map would be played, including a random option.

Considering the changes in 0.4.2 to matchmaking and how friends queue works, I think it could be quite nice to have direct match invites prioritized as a feature to be added as part of/before the mobile VR update.

I need this, a match request has been something I've wanted in-game for the longest time, and in just the last two days I've accidentally matched with the wrong person 3 times in friends queue while they're in any rank

In combination with my direct invite suggestion, the friends queue itself can also get a change. Friends queue will also search friends that are in queue for normal matchmaking.
Kalamart:
I don't think friend queue should exist as it is. Right now you can only queue into friends who are also queuing into friends, which means it's like an invite but a malfunctioning one. Either just have a direct invite, or have an invite as well as a friends queue that works just like rank queues used to. So you are guaranteed to get a friend, but the friend could be queuing any rank.
