I would also love if the map pool is more towards what most players like.
We kinda have 3 types of maps: Open, closed and hybrid.
1v1 pool:
Open: Arabia and Serengeti
Closed: Arena and Hill Fort
Hybrid: Four Lakes, Islands, Golden Swamp, Nomad and MegaRandom
Team pool:
Open: Arabia
Closed: Black Forest, Arena, Hill Fort, Oasis
Hybrid: Nomad, MegaRandom, Golden Swamp, Scandinavia
Note: The place of some maps is pretty much debatable.
Summarizing:
1v1: We have 2 open maps, 2 closed maps and 5 hybrid maps.
Team: We have 1 open map, 4 closed maps and 4 hybrid maps.
What does the community whats?
1v1: I would go for 5 open maps, 2 closed maps and 2 hybrid maps.
Team: I would go for 4 open maps, 3 closed maps and 2 hybrid maps.
(note: This is my opinion based on the post is read)
In recent months they changed 3 out of 9 maps. If they do this again next month:
- I hope the change 3 hybrid maps to 3 open open maps for 1v1
- and for teamgames i hope they change 1 closed map and 2 hybrid maps to 3 open maps.
I also wanna suggest different map pools for RM and DM. Above i was talking about RM. If we talk about RM, i think you dont wanna play closed maps. I would go for 6 open maps and 3 hybrid maps or even 7 open maps and 2 hybrid maps. I am not into DM, so i dont reallyl wanna suggest maps, but i dont think having maps like nomad (vills all over the island) and Hill fort (no real space for buildings) make really sense to DM. Also MegaRandom can have some really bad maps for DM.
