Ghost Lake should be in the Ranked map pool and replace Highland or Anatolia.
Highland and Anatolia are two of the least popular maps. Ghost Lake was a lot of fun to watch at the Redbull event, and it would be nice to see it in Ranked.
Mediterranean was replaced, because it’s not popular with the playerbase. Highland is the same way.
There’s so many other maps like Valley of Kings or Gold Rush that are also deserving over Highland/Anatolia or Savannah and Watering Hole.
No more removing more and more water maps just add more land maps to reduce odds of water maps. Add Ghost Lake and also Tundra without removing any maps is what I would do.
Adding more maps like Tundra, Ghost Lake, and several others would be good also. There’s just so many cool maps that aren’t available in Ranked or Quick Play. Mirkwood for example. The Unknown would be really fun as well.
Erebus needs to be included. Love the atmosphere of this map lol
Definitely. Erebus would be a nice changeup.
Ghost lake is great, I hope devs add, But it would be good if they replaced Highland, this map has many balance problems, and included Midgard, which has water but allows for more strategies.
I think medit is a classic aswell as Ghost Lake and both should be added into the map pool. Erebus without the Shades would be an option.
Mediterranean need to never come back. It was a good change that they removed it.
Unfortunately, in this day and age, any random joe can become a dev.
Please look at the original game mapset and just copy what they did. That mapset was balanced between water and land maps and each map required a different play style.
Currently you have so many nooby land maps that require the same exact playstyle, basically they are the same exact maps but with just a different skin.
@the noobs above, I use to think the same and hated med and other water maps but you guys just need to learn the game and you would learn to enjoy water maps.
@dev, please check the orignal ESO game mapet set, each map required a different play style.
Please bring back Med, Midgard, Tundra, Ghostlake and put all these noob maps for Quick Search only.
What are you talking about?
A lot of the best players in this game hate water maps. There are multiple streamers playing at the highest rating who leave if they get a water map. Not only do the best players dislike water maps, the casuals also do as well, which is why you can’t play water maps in Quick Play.
Why would you ever force maps on your playerbase when most don’t want to play them. They replaced Mediterranean with Megalopolis and it is so much better. Megalopolis is one of the most exciting maps you can play. Imagine how much better Ranked would be if they replaced Highland and Anatolia with Ghost Lake and Tundra or Gold Rush.
Water is boring to play and watch. It slows the game down too much. Basically anyone coming from an RTS outside of Age hates water maps. They are very vocal about it understandably.
A lot of people don’t like water because it is different and takes them out of their comfort zone where they have to learn to play differently then the same old same old with land maps. People should not just be able to play what they want and only what they want when playing ranked they should have to diversify their skill set.
I enjoy watching water games from top players because it isn’t the same old same old with land maps all the time.
People from other RTS games want to make AoMR become less like AoM and more like other games from increasing train time of villagers to remove autoqueue completely from ranked to making resources gather slower to not having water maps played and so on
