The new map pool
Terrible idea to add BF , arena, team islands,nomad and MR to the map pool, the other maps were much more balanced, this is my opinion

These maps are extremely imbalanced in terms of civs, for example

nomad - china - mayans - persia
team islands - vikings -sarra- japan etc

same goes for arena and mega random so basically adding these maps FORCES people to pick certain civs, and abandon most of the other civs as they are abysmally better in these maps, this change ruins the matchmaking for me as i love playing random civs and having fun, with this maps added the balance is much more broken than before

My suggestion would be 4 map pools

1) - 8 maps with 3 vetos for 1v1
2) - 8 maps with 3 vetos for team game

map composition something like this:

4 open land maps ara/valley/ghostlake/steppe
1 water team islands
3 hybrid conti,medi,cenote

then another 2 special map pools for the memes (only for people who queque there separated from the other 2 "normal pools")

3) - Nomad - LN - FR - MR - goldrush
4) - Arena - BF - Fortress



*3 vetos for 1v1 2v2 3v3 4v4, allowing only the host of the party to veto"






*i edited the part stating that i was 2k (experienced) because a lot of people were taking it as personal insult and getting hurt

Why are people using someone's ELO to make a point like wtf kinda argument is that 😂
"Your opinion is worthless and means nothing because I play better than you" lmao


thats a classic

ir doesn't mean their opinion is worthless or they play better it means the highelo player has experience in the "metagame"

and you can assume a low elo player most likely doesn't have that same experience, unless he is a professional analyst or caster that learns and studies the timings and meta of each map without playing at high elo like @HongeyKong

Low level players usually don't consider how the game actually works.
Do you know what the most popular maps in the unranked lobbies of starcraft and warcraft are?

The devs really shoud fix the lobbies so the noobs can have a place to play their noob maps withou any strategy, instead of pleasing countless noobs by destroying ranked game.

Shocked to see that the most played Civilization was also the Cumans lmao. Clearly they were the funnest and most enjoyable civilization. Devs need to rewind the nerf on them it seems.

-AoEZone (formerly named as AocZone) is the place where competitive players chill.
-Over 90% of the 1.2M records on https://aocrecs.com/ were from voobly.

If you didnt know, now you know.

Clearly the pros know how to make a game for the other 99% of players whom don't ever plan to be at their level, lol. Works great for the fighting game community lol.

I can understand the problem about killing early strategy decissions and I understand that open land maps offer the most strategies to play. Maybe I am to bad at this game( 1530 Voobly and until now constant 1200 or above in DE) but I think that most games tend to go to castle age even in open maps because let's be honest we all wall there are no more feudal wars. Meta changed which is good but walling also kills a fnu aspect of the game controlling Armies and counter play. Yes castle age offers more strategic possibilities but why the rush to castle age nowdays and what's so different about BF Castle age push or normal drush fc most of the time you wall and wait for castle age if your opponent can't punish you. I really understand your arguments about Arena that it is most of the time less action early and that it can turn into Build Order party but you can also try to tower rush on Arena for gaining map controll and slwo down not to kill liek in open maps. And I Also don't want to play BF 1vs1 (regulary maybe once in month or two months) but it's so popular in team games.
The thing is we need a middle ground for the map pool which makes PROS BEGINNERS NORMAL PLAYERS ( like me I think the most people on voobly are around my range) and PlAYERS WITH MORE EXPERIENCE above 1600 Voobly until 1800 Voobly and some VERY GOOD PLAYERS from 1800 until ~2.1k in Voobly. We use to call us self noobs but to be honest people above 1450 ( Voobly) are no noobs and people above 1600 are decent players and after 1800 they are good players, 2k very good players and than there are the pros ( and some in between :D). It's like a Normal distribution function ( Gaussian Distribution). The whole noob calling is somehow not nice and not very possitive it's a negative concept and we should try to do better. Players in NPL Voobly are also noobs or absolute beginners we could also call them bad players but I think more possitiveness and calling them Learners/ Beginners is much more possitive.
I also know how it is that you can better get a concept of what's good or bad if you are at the top and learned more compared to people not knowing so much about the topic or just have the common knowledge about something.
A real live example is this:
I learned Arabic in university and people think I can speak Arabic but the truth is that I can speak some but not very good to have a conversation about every topic adn understand every dialect. They can't completly understand that my Arabic is basic becasue they don't know the language at all.

So to get the middle ground we should not try to please each group for itself and have only 8 maps available but have more available but also more bans. And I would like to have some maps only to be in the team game pool, maybe seperate the pool or make some only available in team games. Also BF could get much more fun if we would play it normal with hardest wolves, which would probbaly lead to Magyars being the best civ on this map early game :D.

Fun fact I looked at the AOK Map pool most of them have been Hybrid maps. And sometimes I feel like the people on AOEZone are just like old Folk telling us a bout the good old times and that they don't want any change because it was so good and great in the good old times of Hunswar only :D. Ok Boomer! ( actually not very booming style player)
@HongeyKong First I Disliked some of your Opinnions but after reading more of your comments it seems you are not the flamming I just want to play my map I am used to play type of player with a narrow view on the topic. Which I really apreciate.
