priderocks mid is just completely unworkable - the mid gives so much height advantage and it's easily stalematable if you want, because of such height advantage. Sentry on mid, for example, denies everything except the cave.

the last caps way too fast and the lobby is really too complex to check everything as you push out in a timely fashion, the 2nd is 'okay' I guess, there's not much to say about it, sniper sightlines are there, it's kind of cluttered

there is possibly a way to make it good for 6s, but right now like puoskari said it's borderline unplayable right now

but its extremely pretty

e- nvm it's gone

+1 on another server, we've had enough for 2 for a while now :-)

Please place drudgery in the pool, I would love the feedback :)

This may sound cynical to you but whatever, there is no reason for most mappers to even attempt making a competitive AD map, it's a waste of their time

Most AD maps are dogshit awful for 6s - nobody will test it and there are no good maps to learn any ideas from. These two things cycle into eachother.

Realistically it's hard enough getting constructive criticism from 6s players without a 'way in' (example- me with sideshow+stark, hyce with ipz taking a liking to logjam, meanwhile at the massive amount of 5cp maps that get 0 attention at all?) without gimping yourself with a mode nobody likes because of the past experiences, and probably won't play.

this will not change until a well known mapper puts time into it, AD is so stigmatised your way in basically has to be that you've already made a map played in league, people have to have a reason to trust you to make something worth playing or they won't even touch it unless you get lucky.

All of that to even get started, mapping is really kinda cut throat. You can't make a mistake, or your maps dead in the water (example- when hyce released a revamped mid which wasn't good before the season started, it killed the map completely) If you get a bad first impression on people, it's dead too (my map xd, or literally any map that had potential but wasn't quite there when first experimental cup happened.) And frankly, the stigma is enough that even if you had a good AD map, the first impression of many people is just that it's AD, so it's gonna be shit. For every positive comment on edifice, in the past cup, it seemed like there was one that dismissed it from being AD.

But for all of that, I'm certainly interested in AD for 6s, so are at least a decent amount of the players, I've got a concept map half blocked out in case the situation changes, or if drudgery gains enough traction that it's not a total waste of time to give it a serious go

tl;dr, the odds are stacked against you if you make AD, good luck finding a decent stock one.

being fair - eu 6s is getting there too

the signup numbers have gone down so much, we used to get a stable 300 for ages since I started playing, we didn't break 150 this season and it's not as if the numbers are going to go back up

1- 7
2- Champ.gg
3- Arctic Foxes
4- top5rocket
5- 3/6
6- Nunya
7- Lowpander
8- Lemmings

High- HKN
Mid- fresh avocado

nunya will own lemmings

I can't believe they're uncertain about placement matches.

It boggles the mind that they don't realise that lack of placement matches and a rating system that's actually taken into account by the matchmaker are the biggest barriers preventing the system from succeeding. It should be one of their priorities, if they actually care about it doing well.

e- okay then, hope it comes at least fairly soon :-)

yes this is competitive tf2 :-)

worst set of the top 8

on this note, what external cards/boxes/whatever are good for virtualising this kind of thing?

tabs out to tweet about it

if this was a serious channel it wouldn't have a video on fucking boku no pico - don't take it so seriously

but to be fair he's not very funny imo

a triple XD is never a good look

If ETF2L did this there would be literally no teams at all
