What can be done to make 1v1 more popular?
-
I will concede that my earlier point about smaller maps being for more high level players was flawed as was pointed out by @StormLantern
however the only thing I stand by is that when it comes to maps for particular skill levels is the map complexity that has the largest impact.
So I would put farward this argument, the lower level maps should be as plain and as simple as possible, with no terrain or water or reclaim, and as skill level rises so to should the map complexity slowly adding features like plateaus, water and civilian structures to reclaim or capture

Looking at the survey results again, it does indeed seem that 10x10 maps are currently a bit underpresented in the lower rated brackets of the mappool..
Ill take a look if the team will agree with an extra 10x10 map in the lower brackets.

@stormlantern Can mapgen NOT be included into 1v1 ladder please? It generates terrible, turtle-y maps.
-
Could you link me to one of your replays where it makes this type of map?Edit: Nvm, I found your replays. You have played a handful of mapgen 1v1's and indeed with exception of 1 of them they were all turtle maps. However, I also checked the ten most recent mapgens created in your 1v1 rating bracket.
Of those, only 2 maps that were turtley.So I think you have simply been unlucky with what mapgen came up with in your games. Besides, there has been some recent feedback from lower rated players that wanted mapgen in their bracket. Hence why it was added a few months back.
-
@stormlantern I have also checked and it appears you are correct. Still I think they are much less interesting and worse looking compared to handcrafted maps.
-
@ganima that's why we have a balance though. Can't please everyone.
-
make mapes purely mapgen random and I would play a lot more... I think others as well. 3s is the leading choice for a reason.
-
@dgun mapgen is already common in 1v1. What do you have against normal maps?
-
The biggest problem with ladder for me was extremely variable game length, which doesn't work with my busy life.
-
@ganima allow people banned for base ctrl k in team game to play ladder 1v1, lol.
it will be insta + 500 ladder players -
I play 3v3 cause of mapgen. I don't play 1v1 cause there is no mapgen. Mapgen is fair, I don't have to fight ppl who optimized BO specifically for certain maps
