in 1v1 it's nomad start maps or u have to pray to #RNJesus

Surprised to still so many people hate on BF 1v1. It's a lot better than it used to be in AOC:
* Shittier walls => a lot easier to rush, lot's of maa tower pushes guaranteed
* onagers can cut => games won't take that long in general.

I will always ban BF and Arena. Occasionally I will ban Gold Rush.

Why? I don't like this maps. It stresses me out walling on BF with the wolves, I hate not attacking in feudal and I don't like these maps.

But I do like that there are in the map pool. These are maps loved by may and now they will be able to play them more often in competetive settings.


On the other hand, I really like nomad and MR. Both maps are about adapting and that is what I like the most in AoE2. I don't care about tournaments, this game is about adapting to the randomness

Feudal rushes are seen rather often on these maps nowadays.

I would have expected Megarandom to be #1

For me it is Team Islands, Megarandom and Nomad...might ban Black Forest instead of Nomad once I'm used to the nomad start from playing Steppe

Nomad, Black Forest, MegaRandom. For 1v1s.

No ban in 2v2s or TGs for me.

No hate to those maps in 1v1, it's definitely playable like @Gentle says. I just don't enjoy it 1v1 and I think that's okay. Nomad + MR is fairly RNG based. And I prefer them in TGs where I can co ordinate better.

Do you lose any points if you Alt+F4 during the 60 seconds once you see the map? If BF, Nomad, and TI are the most banned maps, then I could ban MR, Steppe, and GR, and be most likely to get Arena and Arabia. Then if I don't get either of those maps, I could just Alt+F4 and try again. Might not take too long if those are among the least banned maps.

I am pretty sure i got the points,when my opponent resigned, cause he "deleted hi horse" on steppe, but it could easily be after the 1 minute....

He is talking about using alt+f4 in the civ selection phase not in actual game.

About should it be punished with rating lose... In my opinion the problem lies on forcing people play maps they don't enjoy playing. Alt+f4 is just a sympton that comes from it.

People exaggerate the rng aspect on nomad. Ofc u need to find some food but you can still win even when you find 0 boar or sheep. I played one nomad 1v1 and noticed there were more boar but less sheep on the map. Maybe because i had a version with llamas.

That's a good idea. But it also stresses me out the fact that I have to be walled before minute x or I will get sneaked and the team will blame bla bla bla

I play arabia without walls wtf

Haven't been using ban on BF since no one will play it anyway. Like everyone said, Alt F4 is a solid counterpick in the rare occasion it comes up

I played two nomad yesterday they did a good balance in the map , now the food is more spread. Boar and Sheep are alwayas alone, so It's almost impossible one get 3 boars and the other no boar, same for sheep.

Iam more and more convinced that the maps in the mappool dont have an equal chance to appear on DE. Before the last update, I had over 65% games Highland/Rivers/Continental (couple of days when I played 10+ games, I only had those 3 maps). Considering theres 9.1% chance for a single map out of 11 and I have played over 250 games (counting drops and disconnects before 1 min), that would be incredibly bad luck. After the last update I have played 13 games, 7x Team Islands, 5x Gold Rush, 1x Arena and more people told me the same. Iam banning Nomad, MR and Steppe, but given the maps played so far Iam considering changing Steppe and MR for TI and gold rush.

I think one of the reasons team islands pops up all the time is because open map plebs are banning arena, bf and nomad and close map plebs are banning ara, steppe and either gold rush or mr. So team islands is always left available although nobody really wants to play it. :biggrin:

The bigger problem is that I cannot ban maps if I queue for 1v1-2v2-3v3-4v4 like I usually do.

I like to play 4v4's so I dont get to ban any...
Also, @Scogo_ you should put in the title of the poll 'for 1v1'. I would ban nomad and black forest in 1v1 but for teamgames they are fine.
