24

i prefer big 1v1 maps and please take out this damn (i think it is out already?) water in the middle and the ACUs duel themselfes there map.
also maps that have neutral forces in the middle shall not be that many in there.. i am a noob and do not count much but here is my opinion.

Around 25 would be my preference but although I play ladder a lot I'm not too bothered about the number of maps, as long as they are good ones. And I think they are almost all good maps.

I really don't care how many maps are in the map pool, I only dislike the 20x20 maps because they take long to finish.
Why are people calling the league a "fiasco"? I enjoy playing the ladder games very much, in my experience I get to play many good balanced games. Removing the matchmaker because some people think there is something wrong with it is a mistake. In my opinion the majority of players have no problems with how the matchmaker functions now. Why do a few whiners have to ruin the fun of other people?

Please turn the matchmaker back on.

Hope this can be smoothed out soon, but it's better to have a giant shouting match and shutdown than constant complaining.

Also, thanks ShadowKnight for stepping up, I sure as hell wouldn't want to be a mediator here.

This is retarded. Who in their right mind shuts down their entire project because they can't handle criticism?

And who in their right mind would continue dealing with such a person.

I'm out, and if any of you have any sense, you will be too.

This is fucking ridiculous.

I'd say somewhere in the low 20's ought to be good.

Oh, Ok. Well this unwashed person will cast his lot on the 15-20 range then.

Given Shadowknight's post I'll try to keep my theoretical musings short, in this thread anyways, but the experiment I'm imagining right now would be as simple as selecting a number of maps and then having them go for however long the experimenters decide is feasible (longer period is better informed feedback, but too long and our 'study' will never be finished), then issuing a survey to all users of 1v1 matchmaker aimed at asking them general questions about their experiences on the ladder. Questions that would aim to differentiate between the effect of the individual maps themselves and single out the effects of having that certain number of maps.

Obviously, the creation of the survey is harder than the actual experiment itself but with a team of people it should be possible for us to cobble one together that should be able to suit our purposes and be at least objective enough.

Does this vote need to be end all be all? could we perhaps rather than leaving things up to the democratic process of asking the unwashed masses what they hope will be best instead do a scientific study where we experiment with different numbers of maps in the pool and then survey people to determine their enjoyment levels and then make a decision based upon empirical evidence?
