...can it go back to the way it was?
The new map pool is great for pros. Lot of higher-level stuff in there. But for noobs like me who just want to play a game that's not a team game... there used to be maps like Ambush Pass, Balvary Mountains, Blasted Rock, Crag Dunes, etc... I'd even take Comet Catcher over Niflheim. And at least if you got a shitty map you knew the next one wouldn't be so bad because the pool was much larger. The new pool is full of big, hard-to-learn, non-generic stuff that few people know how to play and I'm betting the average game time (excluding people d/c'ing because they get a map they don't want) increases significantly. I want to come home from work and relax playing a quick game or two on a simple map. Maybe I'm wrong but I think I'm going to have to find a new activity.
I know I am just one of many. But my small, insignificant, meaningless vote is... it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't broken, and you tried to fix it. *Now* it's broken.
