Re: Ability to Blacklist Maps

@BigMacAttack8u

King's used to be my favorite map. Not anymore, although the faster timer makes the preferences irrelevant, at least to me.

I see what you're saying about the faster close forcing people out of their comfort zones. The problem with comfort zones is that they're comfortable. I'm not here to strive for predator, and I don't feel any motivation whatsoever to have to completely rebuild my meta because the developer is no longer willing to fight with the players who move to battle royale and try to turn it into an arena shooter. I'm not saying that this season's cumulative changes amount to that... exactly. But they certainly move us in that direction. And move with purpose. Deleting jump towers is a small part of that. Adding new kill zones all over the map is a small part of that. Speeding up the timer is a small part of that. Add those things up and suddenly this game is forcing you to do all sorts of things that make it play like a match of big team slayer.

Win for some, loss for others. I can't complain, though. It was fun until now. And it may be again. They may change things back, or I may find new ways to adapt if I can overcome my attitude, but one thing will definitely not happen: I will never concede that the game is "more fun" or "plays more naturally" in its new state. It isn't and it doesn't. And there are just too many other options open to the short-attention-span player. Why did they have to take the only option available to the patient player and try to squeeze him out of it?
