Ranked Suggestion: Map Rotation

Maybe something that may help people get on with Ranked is possibly doing away with a static map for a split & do either a daily map rotation, or rotate every 4 or 8 hours. Something more than pubs. And possibly even doing more than just 2 maps would help too.

  • @Lord_Scorpion34 I've thought about this, too. I just can't decide if I like the idea or not. I like that ranked is an "even" playing field, and part of me feels like it should stay on one map per split, to stay as such. Another part of me thinks that either way, everyone in ranked would be playing on the same map at any given time, so technically, the playing field would remain "even". Then this other part of me chimes in, wondering if people would be able to somewhat work the system, to avoid maps that don't play as well, to maximize their RP/hour on a map they prefer. I'm not sure how feasible that scenario would be though, because other people would be gaining RP the whole time they are sitting out a map.

    I'm with you though. I kinda feel like mixing up the map situation, along with tweaking the RP system, might be the way to go

    @dSKyNafinchin It is for the reason you mention that maps don't rotate in ranked BR. People would cherry pick the map they are better at.
  • @hayhor That's my best guess as to why they don't rotate. I mean, I. suppose they could do 2 maps per split, and have them "rotate" at the midway point of the split. That way, we get a little bit more map variety, but people can't exploit it. I don't think anyone would sit out 1/2 of an entire split. People always seem to surprise me though...
  • @hayhor But waiting a whole day to play Ranked vs playing every day or whenever? Cherry pickers would still be at a disadvantage vs someone grinding all the time. Unless you're just that good.
  • @Lord_Scorpion34 I disagree. Ranked is a more serious mode (theoretically) and one map per split is fine. You get to learn the rotations, drops, end zones and how to deal with unexpected events. Introducing a map rotation will incentivize people to not play when their worst map is up or to play more like they do in pubs.

    @Cro_Pittt Or could force them to suck it up & stick it out cuz if you sit out for a whole day the just puts you further off pace to achieve the goal you set out for. If you rotate 2 maps daily & only play one map that means you'd have to try to reach your desired rank in half the time.
