Now I'm curious if there is some difference between Islands and Team Islands for a 1v1.in all of that the real question is: why do we have team islands in a 1v1 map pool

For 1v1s I agree. for team games, dodging wastes up to 7 other players' time which is not justified imo.Dodgeing is Fine. Why would you play a map and waste your time with a map you don’t like. Don’t get the struggles. Sure it’s a bit annoying but I rather dodge than waste 45 minutes playing team islands.
it’s just the System that is trash.
This is even more worse than forcing someone to play a map s*he doesn't like. I would rather change how people are being matched with each other. Not only based on their rating but really on their preferred settings and then ask the players what they want to queue for be it 1v1 Arabia Random Civ or 4v4 Black Forest Picked Civ and position.I'd change it so that if any of the two player checks that option, then it's forced upon the other.
Hoang isn't "abusing" anything. He is playing one civ, yes. There is nothing bad with it. There are different preferences how people play the game. And it's totally fine to just accept them as is. But the matchmaking system itself doesn't account for that. THAT is indeed a problem.Hoang abusing Celts and raising in the ladder definitely needs to be stopped. It is only in the hands of the devs and not in the hands of anyone else. There is not one guy like Hoang, there are hundreds of people in all ratings who just one trick a civilization just to improve their fake/inflated rating.

as somebody with firsthand experience against this guy, **** him and I would kill somebody to be able to ****ing ban him from my matchmakingthere are guys like canary losing their rank on purpose to have easy game vs lower players
wtf relax 11as somebody with firsthand experience against this guy, **** him and I would kill somebody to be able to ****ing ban him from my matchmaking
This completely defeats the point. You aren't opting in to 5 maps, you are banning 4 maps. The whole reason for one ban if you're solo queueing is so that if 8 people queue up of similar ELO they will match up and at least have one map in common.Why you assume people like just one map?
In the current TG map pool,
I have zero interest in playing below maps (while I get only ONE ban)
The remaining 5 are absolutely ok for me. So if I had an opt-in I would queue for the remaining 5 and that's enough enjoyable diversity for me
- Baltic
- Megarandom
- Lombardia
This completely defeats the point. If all the people could chose maps they like the algorithm could chose between the overlapping maps. If there aren't overlapping maps the people shouldn't even get matched. After a period of time the system should warn you that you won't find a match with these settings and should change, maybe even give advice what needs to be changed to find a match in the current queue.This completely defeats the point.

We recommend you set arena to a playable map to get a game *unqueues*.This completely defeats the point.

Exactly, then you can open a lobby. Or to be honest the lobby should be opened automatically for you with the settings you queued for and didn't find a match. Maybe already in the background and be run in parallel.We recommend you set arena to a playable map to get a game *unqueues*.
We found a match for you in an unranked lobby. You want to start the game or continue queueing in ranked mode? Estimated waiting time in ranked mode is 36 minutes for your settings. We recommend you play a lobby game.
well I think robo is no longer involved / event organizer
CocaineAllDay telling someone to relax 11wtf relax 11
I disagree. I like to be able to practice certain wacky strats specific to one civ. If I can't pick civ I cannot do that. Unless my opponent is also doing the same thing ofcIf one person wants random civ and the other person wants to pick a civ it should at least be 50/50 to get random civs. It will make one trick ponies dissapear and everyone will be happy about that.
How many hours did he work? Cant believe $4/hr was enough for retirement.well I think robo is no longer involved / event organizer
If that was the way it was used i wouldnt have an issue with it, but we both know 99.9% uses it to pick the very best civs for a certain map or one trick ponies.. ppl who prefer random have to adapt to their anoying playstyle EVERY single game and never the other way around. This is not acceptable imo.I disagree. I like to be able to practice certain wacky strats specific to one civ. If I can't pick civ I cannot do that. Unless my opponent is also doing the same thing ofc
