automatch/ladder map pool (OUTDATED, SEE LINK)

[Lateralus]

The old system allowed for someone to only pick 5k maps if they wished to meaning most of that players games would be on 5k maps.

I would have liked this feature. So when was it changed and why?

"The Land Wilderness V3 - a small map for fast games"
it's not really a small map, i hate playing it, so far i didn't met anybody how really liked it and personally i got it this evening and i just instaquit it. Please consider replacing it by something else like ambush pass, canis river ... something really small, and with less useless terrain around the starting point.

5 maps isn't really much, i usually play 3-6 laddergames in a row, there is a high risk to get the same map several times in a row. (it happens already now with the actual larger mappool)
The rest in your mappool are flawless 1vs1 maps - i like them, good variation.

I like the Land Wilderness.

I don't like the reduction to 5 maps.

I agree with agrum, The Land Wilderness is not a proper 5x5 map or plays like one

Replaces it with a real 5x5 map. You have plenty to choose from:

Ambush Pass, Theta Passage, Canis, Monaki, Blasted Rock, Auralian - The Core, Balvery Mountains, Craig Dunes, Crimson Feud, Jungle Pit, Summer Duel, Winter Duel, The Two Peaks, Williamson´s Bridge, etc, etc,...

So plenty to choose from for a proper 5x5 map, ok?

Would be great if we could change it, please.

Not these. I think we can all agree they're bad.

Theta 5 is best 5x5 !

I would like to voice my opinion and state that I like the 5-map pool concept. It would be ideal to keep 4 well-known maps and one "new" or "test" or "curveball" one in the mix. I think the Wilderness v3 counts toward that at the moment, and enjoy it!

Please keep this going : )

My 2 pennies worth:

New changes very positive, I think 5 may be a bit too small a pool, perhaps have 10 maps maximum. Due to the kids i dont get as much game time as I'd like, but have had the chance to practice the maps and enjoy it more

Like Morax Idea, perhaps have 5 maps fixed classic maps and 5 which rotate every couple of weeks, that way you appeal to both players that want more variation and players who want to learn the same maps

i was a bit sceptical first but i rlly like the new pool system. I get a lot of good games currently. I also would not increase it further than maybe 7-8 maps.

Well said!

It will only be good as long as people will like (almost) all maps in the pool. So we have to be extra careful with what maps are there.
I was also thinking about 7-8 maps. But then i think how there will be at least couple 5km to please the majority and it makes me sad
