ok this would be actually worth it creating an own thread but i gonna post it here.
so about our Maps Of The Year...
The (4)MOTY competition is absolutly fine, we got a winner (shakras) and a 2. placed map (rise of tehh..), both of them of high quallity and great gameplay.
I think Shakras deserves this win pretty much, still testgames showed some flaws but i hope i was able to fix them with the last update.
Rise of Tehh(what a bitchname <.<) is there where it should be, its the 2. best map submitted :)
for the 3. place we dont have a clear "winner", i still hope for tkt fixing those goddamn Devotion which would become an amazing map >.< (maybe even better than shakras, dunno)
ok, the real problem is in the (2)MOTY competition...
The map with the most votes is Soundbarrier, i'm ok with this because its a great map, while having some flaws which can be easily fixed.
i think that 90% of people voted for this havent played it or seen a rep >.< but whatever... its a great map!
the map with the 2. most votes is Scope Lens... WAIT WTF?!
who the fuck voted for this?
how are you gonna play this map?!
U GUYS, SRSLY!?!?!?!??! KIDDING?!?!
just look at the damned PIC (like you do) and __IMAGINE__ how it would be to play on it >.<
map with 3. most votes is Silver Flush.
It looks good, yea. Its not a good map.
BAD expo placement, path issue, weird unit pathing, bad flanking options, useless/fucked up features... GODDAMN thats NOT good -_-v
might sound badass but most of members at this site __cant__ talk/argue/discuss about balance or playability of a map!!!!
omggggg i'm so angry right now writing this T_T
ok i'm arrogant and an ashole and pretty much egoistic but i would call myself the best player of active mappers at this site o.o
of those maps submitted here the only _PLAYABLE_ are (i cant speak of balance because i'm mostly a z player, but i still have way more knowledge than most of you in all matchups TT):
I don't award second and third places for maps of the year, so only shakras, Sound barrier, and uh w/e for experimental map. I prefer this anyway, because the 2nd place maps all suck this year.
It does not make sense for an older map like Scope Lens that did not even win a MOTM to end up ahead of those that did like Silver Flush, Dreamcatcher, Angband or Kumba and it would even make less sense for us to recognize it. Sound Barrier is sufficiently ahead of the rest and the rest are so close to each other that really there should be no second place in that competition.
okay, i'll post sound barrier and shakras (and maybe rise of theo) i have never made a post before (so maybe i'll as Lancet or Nightmarjoo to do oit)
ONLY SOUND BARRIER AND SHARKRAS (rise of teo will be okay, but no more maps of the year allright?)
who agree?
1) Testbug
2) Nightmarjoo sayd:
