Civ picking just destroys this game on 1100-1200 elo for particular maps. Im so done playing arena against the same everytime. Either its spreading build from Hera or Viper, an all in strat from Youtube or the classic turks, burgundians, aztec pick in 90 percent of the games.
Could you just make it possible to enable a ranked matchmaking with “random only” option?
I’m fine with civ picking. Every strat has a counter and if there are particularly strong strategies, the onus is on you to counter it. And if a strategy is that overpowered, you can prove that theory yourself by doing nothing but that strategy every day for a few months. If it’s overpowered, your ELO rating should be at least +150 higher than your starting ELO. If your ELO doesn’t change much more than usual, it’s a skill issue.
I agree there should be a queue with “random civs only”.
Though implemented as an option in the main ranked queue I could see it taking the game in the wrong direction.
But just once, for a month at least, the devs should give people the option of queing for random civ 1v1 arabia arena, and see what happens.

I totally disagree on that. Civ picking is a choice.
But agree that it should be an option to add a filter random civ only for those who want to play random civ all team as a choice.
I guess it would be interesting to have the option to ban up to 5 civs.
Maybe you stop picking arena first?
Or just stop playing and that’s it, no more forced maps and match ups.
