Please unblock impoppable in co-op!

Recently I noticed you can't host co-op games and make them public if you select a certain difficulty. This to me makes no sense, if someone is new and they don't want to play impoppable they can just not search for that. Quickmatch you can do anything you want your playstyle, why is it restricting us for playing beginner maps when I host a co-op game it has public greyed-out???

Because Impoppable and CHIMPS require a better communication due to having 1 life. Even with Ninja Kiwi Discord coop chat connection, an Impoppable game with max Monkey Knowledge is losable despite having all possible advantages. The problem lies more on community mindset of "I want make more money" or "I pop more than you".

Surely you can ask NK add level or medal restrictions, so a new player can only play Monkey Meadow Impoppable if they got the medal in Single Player; or completely remove restrictions. But either ways, each have their own problems.

Like I always said, aisde from having better direction to let player understand this game (role tag, advanced tutorial, special mission), no matter how NK "fix" co-op, players will always feel unhappy about it.

How come you can do it with other maps? it makes no sense to lock certain maps and certain levels and leave all of intermediate unlocked...

Can you correct me what do you mean by "lock certain maps"?

I am referring to Impoppable and CHIMPS game mode cannot be set to Public:

You can play Ravine with Alternate Bloon Rounds on Public because you have 100 Lives. In Impoppable, you no longer can use Mana Shield. This also means it is far easy to lose the game simply because you have 1 life, despite the Road Spikes.

Do you know why YuGiOh main protagonist can wins despite bad situation? Because their life point and deck count is not zero. Same as how BTD 6, as simple as that. If you play with random Public Impoppable on any map, you're very likely to lose without ever having another chance of redemption after a minor leak. To prevent such chaos rant happening, it was locked to Public.

All it would take is a suitable qualification system, meaning that the participation in all modes and maps in multiplayer games could be unlocked by winning single player games, or at least by reaching a certain level. I'm still hoping for this to happen.
If you manage to win at least one game in a certain mode like chimp on your own, I see no reason why you shouldn't be allowed to play it in mp, and, as well, if you are not able to win it in a sp game, you shouldn't be allowed to join such mp games.
