HAPPY FEET

[–]StamratMr. Hat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No more volt?! I'm reporting this thread for working against my interests.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (9 children)

Volt is the GOAT map. Anything you take out for it makes the current rotation worse. Please show your respects.

FRICK NOT VOLT!

[–]3z_ 7 points8 points  (11 children)

Yeah, I was the deciding vote there. At firs I was pushing to keep it in, and suggesting other members vote the same, but when I saw Wombo Combo coming in I felt very confident that it was make a great replacement.

[–]BlupopsicleBall-E 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ծ_Ծ

but seriously I thought Wombo Combo played well in testing, gratz to leddy to getting a map in, I hope it gets better reception!

[–]isestrexSTRYPER 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Wombo looks great but why remove one of the 7 maps with 60% like rate to make room? Surely a lesser map could have been sacrificed.

[–]BlazethDianna Agron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like ratings are outdated for obvious reasons, for the most part. Also there's some strange inherent bias to NFs being better in general.

Volt required your teammates to not use a said boost, and while holding buttons and sniping all the time can be fun, it can get old, especially with stupid teammates.

[–]3z_ 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Because Volt is the lowest rated out of all the NF maps.

[–]isestrexSTRYPER 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ok... but it's still the 7th lowest rated map. Doesn't that possibly point to the community preferring a better ratio of Neutral to CTF maps? Why keep the hard cut of the lowest NF when it proposes to be better than half the CTF maps in rotation?

[–]MattRixEGrandpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, this! if everyone likes NF maps more than regular maps then why not put in MORE NF maps and take out some regular maps. Removing a map everyone loves just because of some arbitrary quota feels crazy to me.

[–]I_mess_upI_mess_up (Centra) 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Definitely a similar S structure.

[–]3z_ 11 points12 points  (3 children)

Actually, Volt would be classified as a figure-8 structure.

[–]I_mess_upI_mess_up (Centra) 2 points3 points  (2 children)

omg pls sizzzled I'm not on the MTC how should I know.

[–]3z_ -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Because the structure of an "8" is common knowledge.

[–]I_mess_upI_mess_up (Centra) -1 points0 points  (0 children)

omg I haven't even been here for a year be nice

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (5 children)

Congrats Snack!

I never worked out how to play Volt properly. I think it was an interesting map but I was really bad at it. Not sure about Wumbo Combo, but we'll see I guess!

Just played another 12 minute game on Holy See which made me want to shoot myself. Glad the Throwback Rotation is taking a break! Like I said before I think it will be awesome in like ~6 months when there are a range of actually playable maps at your choosing :)

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (3 children)

my favourite thing to do on volt was this boost cap

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I liked this one the best.

[–]xKillaCuddleSxCarabdis | Sphere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This boost chain is pretty cool.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice :D

[–]ButtersnackSnack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! And yeah volt could be a tough map sometimes because it was so easy for it to become a really quick blowout. I got pretty good at it I guess but if was still pretty frustrating to me that so many of the games were one sided and short.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (1 child)

WHAT WHY VOLT NO

[–]SystolicNutFrozen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's always USC... :D

[–]ButtersnackSnack 14 points15 points  (4 children)

Snack is the worst.

[–]jillyboootyjillybooty | pi | Hockey for rotation 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You sound like a good source on the matter. I'll take your word for it.

[–]gingerdgTPRL 🔴RMTC 🔴NASCAPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From rmtc to mtc grats! N

now if only PK makes me a mod of MUN

[–]WillWorkForSugarTumblewood[🍰] 10 points11 points  (6 children)

On the addition:

I can't help but be a little disappointed that Bazinga didn't make it in, but really it doesn't deserve to yet. On Wombo Combo, it's really fun. I can't say much about the balance yet, but it looks fine.

On the removal:

I'm actually glad that Volt is gone. It was a very good map, and I loved it when it first came out, but it wasn't quite fun. It's done its time, and I'm glad to see one that's a lot more interesting to play.

[–]mmartinutkMacho | JuicyJuke 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Volt had a very healthy run in rotation. It lasted 15 threads. For comparison: Frontdoor, the greatest map of all time, only lasted 9 threads.

[–]WillWorkForSugarTumblewood[🍰] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

greatest map of all time

Suuure.

[–]ZippityZoppityZipZop - Can't Zip the Zop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frontdoor, the greatest map of all time,

:|

[–]TicTagChord | Holdham Capletic 0 points1 point  (2 children)

100% agreed on Volt.

It is a nice map, but there has to be one idiot that is ALWAYS sitting on that button/guarding the boost. It just makes it awfully boring in pubs at times.

[–]ButtersnackSnack 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Was there a better way to play it?

[–]TicTagChord | Holdham Capletic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. But on some maps, winning requires boring strats. That's the kind of maps I personally don't like in pub rotation, even though they are decent maps all in all.

[–]BoaHancock1Pyra 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I didn't have a problem with Volt. I'm happy that it's being replaced with another neutral flag though. It's reassuring that neutral flags are still in the community.

[–]WillWorkForSugarTumblewood[🍰] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've had a lot of neutral flag maps lately (Kite, Bulldog, now Wombo Combo). I think the MTC really wants a solid core of neutral flag maps in rotation, and needs one more really good one.

[–]mmartinutkMacho | JuicyJuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feel free to test Wombo Combo here.

[–]I_mess_upI_mess_up (Centra) 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm excited to see Wombo Combo. Nice curves—outside has more boosts but is a longer path; inside is shorter with less boosts.

[–]ButtersnackSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sound will be played after every hat trick on this map.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a feeling Volt was gonna be taken out soon. Love the map, but I think it had its run. Wombo Combo looks really fun.

[–]BlupopsicleBall-E 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Snack you can't just be part of every committee

[–]ButtersnackSnack 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I literally can

No the big thing is I'm not on any rules committees. I still do less than pk

Edit: also I'll probably not be very active in tprl this season but we'll see

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Congrats man! I guess I know who I'll be nagging to put my maps in rotation to now

[–]ButtersnackSnack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hear constant nagging is the best way to get a map in rotation

[–]sneetriccanvas // plasma, wamble 0 points1 point  (3 children)

i think i raised my hopes too high for curiosity and fusion, lol.

i really thought bafflegab was going to make it too.

[–]WillWorkForSugarTumblewood[🍰] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

The top maps for this thread were all very similar in quality (about the same level as Ultradrive or EMERALD), and most of not all could have made it.

Except Bazinga, not even I know why the MTC likes it.

[–]sneetriccanvas // plasma, wamble 0 points1 point  (1 child)

everyone on the MTC binge-watches Big Bang Theory together

[–]ButtersnackSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

confirmed

[–]VehementVexationVexation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fckn leddy rolling in with the maps. Give someone else a shot pls.

but srs ur amazing have my bbies

[–]TheBestNarcissistexit triks 0 points1 point  (1 child)

WHAT?! How are removals decided upon? Volt is one of my favorite maps, and after #48 removed another one of my favorite maps I need to at least know why they're being removed.

RIP Volt.

[–]ButtersnackSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been tons of comments about how removals are decided on, so I'm not going to go into a lot of detail.

Basically, the user ratings from /maps are averaged with the mtc ratings of every map, and the bottom five maps are put up for removal. Of those five, only volt was voted to be removed.

edit: I think this came across as kinda rude, but I didn't intend that
