As a player focused generally on competitive games, the most important missing feature in the moment is Ladders (or Leaderboards, call it as you like). I don't know if it is planned and just not included in the pre-beta, but please consider this carefully! Ladders are a necessity for any rts game that wants to be anything else than a one-day wonder.
Also, as a member of a multigaming clan I would really like to see some in-game clan infrastructure: inviting members, promoting officers, clan channels, clan tags. Clan battles (challenging other clans to a PvP game) would also be great! And it will help with organizing tournaments and leagues (yes, I know this can be done through Practice, but still).
And I am sure the PvE lovers will appreciate this, too.
Adding one more PvP mode will be good. Maybe the control points game type offered by DanteOne in the topic below, or maybe something else. Just add another mode in addition to the current Last Man Standing game type.
Add a few custom PvP maps. The random maps are nice and all, but having predefined maps might come in handy (for competition and stuff).
And last, but not least, GET RID of the freaking shards for revealing and resetting specializations. Make respecs free and promote experimenting with builds and tactics instead of one and the same build over and over again. Not to mention that a slip of thought and a wrong click will now punish you and make you suffer until you get lucky and receive a shard.
To put it simply: the shards system stinks.
I also have some balance suggestions, but I guess I will put them in the other section after I play some more.
