I dislike this stupid fucking narrow maplist. The more narrow the maplist, the more it hurts mid-tier players like white choc who are good at some maps and garbage on others. I don't see why the maplist can't be bigger.
Scandi, ec2, mesmerize, sprinta, nuance, rainbase, and possibly windigo's new map (though I haven't been able to try it yet).
I feel like complex, diamondsword, pryxon are gimmick maps that very few people like or excel on. If maps like this are on the list, then why not add the other maps I listed? You could argue that ec2 is in the same boat, people either love it or hate it, but it is picked A LOT when it's in the season.
Of the maps on the list so far, I'm good at like 2 of them. Why not give players like me a chance, and add more maps to the maplist? If there's more maps I have a chance of starting on, I wouldn't be so afraid to captain (even though mid salary is already fucked over because of the garbage system for picking. Low-tier captains and high tier captains are off to the races getting 3-4 good starters while I'm trying to play catchup the entire draft.
Honestly, the community is very fragmented on playstyle and maps that we enjoy. Add more maps. Stop this "play the same 5 maps entire league season" dogshit. There's a lot of maps on the list that I don't like (diamondsword and command), but I tolerate them because they're unique and promote different playstyles. I feel like it shouldn't be about the maps you love or hate, it's about different maps and different playstyles and having a little bit of everything for everybody. More maps in the list would help this. I'm almost forced out of the league because of the narrow maplist. Niche players like whitechoc dropping in value because we're not good at the 5 maps that are played competitively.
