why not just stop doing weekly maps and let every (paid) division do pick/ban from the top x maps voted on every season. i get it league structure is fun and RGL likes to Make The Rules, but just let people play what they want at this point. at least adding granary and badlands back in as an option makes it so these monthly map threads don't have to happen.
furthermore, a pick/ban system means people can scrim whatever fucking maps they want and don't have to play x map for 3-5x every night for a week. degens can scratch the granary/badlands itch in scrims and remember why it's awful to play, and then they'll be the first maps banned in the process anyways.
seems like a blatantly obvious solution
