I loved some old map pools so i dont want to talk **** about the people who choose them. Its just that the balance between the maps is gone. We had mappools in autumn with fortress, hideout, hillfort (loved it but long gone), etc and i feel people loved it just not the pros. People who preferred open maps still could ban them.
But now of the 7 maps 6 are open with one water map. Whats worse is that 4 !!! of them are total YOLO maps who play out so stupid every time. Every time its decided by sneaks and CD and therefore generally extremely random. It might be different for the 0.01 best Percent but the maps shouldnt be choosen by them.
Why cant we have a more balanced mappool where generally 3 maps are closed maps or more defensive maps like goldrush/goldenpit. And then 1 or 2 water maps and 3 open maps!Therefore NOONE has to play a closed map, because you can always ban 3.
With these maps you can have a good game structure and you are not relaying on total randomness like scouting a sneak or CD which is on not pro level very random.
I talk a lot ingame about the pool and almost everyone says they absolutely dislike it. (16xx level) I feel the majority thinks so, but doesnt get that much heard.
And not to forget, the last pools were more open maps aswell, we can change a bit between more open and closed but this pool is absolutely crazy in a not fun way.
Maybe i make a poll aswell
