I'm seriously annoyed. I haven't posted here in a while, but now I'm really annoyed!!11!!
So, let's say two captains, Bishop and Hellight, are playing against each other – the match is important, it decides something. I think they wouldn't want to play some awful, unbalanced map like Panic or some other garbage (at least, that's how I see it). Even a newbie who understands the game a little bit can win 10-15% of games on such a map, and on 8MM6a, the percentage will be even lower.
Here's a suggestion: After the captains are chosen, each captain selects 3 templates that will be removed from the list. Based on their votes, 3 templates will be removed from the captain's pool. Isn't this better than them trying to figure out what's balanced and what isn't?
1. 2sm4d(3)
2. Panic
3. Spider
4. Mini Nostalgia
5. 6LM10a
6. 8MM6a
7. diamond
8. Jebus Cross
9. Anarchy
10. skirmish (200%)
And I think that, according to the opinions of experienced players, it will immediately become clear which map is completely random and which is more or less balanced?
I, and the whole 3rd tier, don't care what we play.
P.S. I don't deny that some experienced players might like random maps, but there are few of them.
