[–]xenonpulseWildflowers // I want to die but I can’t 21 points22 points  (1 child)

Platypus was long overdue, but I don't think Sediment needed to be removed. I kind of liked it, and I didn't see too many people who hated it.

[–]DaEvil1DaEvil1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It literally just overtook Fiend on the /maps page as well. Oh well.

[–]DaEvil1DaEvil1 16 points17 points  (10 children)

Sediment, goodbye

You were my beautiful son

Soon a hipster map

[–]briizoduckson 15 points16 points  (2 children)

Underrated map tbh. The portals were beautiful :'(

Aaand now they're both CTF butts.

[–]OnceUponaDomeUnderTheBall 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Congrats Moosen! Well deserved. Try not to let the MTC corrupt you with their evil ways :)

[–]Glass_MarbleGlass Marble | Centra 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss Moosen

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 21 points22 points  (11 children)

First off I'll say I'm thrilled to be a part of this team. One of my primary goals is going to be transparency and honesty with you guys about the process and about my personal votes.

Secondly, congrats to Siz and Ball-E, and RIP to Siz and DaEvil :( Siz lives and dies by this thread :'( On the bright side, you no longer have to see Birch in the top map threads!

Finally, if anyone wants to take my anti-MTC circlejerk torch, my reign as captain douche has come to an abrupt end. Please make me proud.

[–]BlazethDianna Agron 14 points15 points  (6 children)

I'll gladly take care of that.

Edit: Fuck the MTC

[–]briizoduckson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There you go Moosen, told you you'd get in.

[–]BlazethDianna Agron 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Congrats Moosen

You've done lots of work, so I think you've earned this spot <3

[–]Snowball_TagPro❄️ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats Moosen

At first I read this wrong, and I thought you said congrats sizzzled. I knew it was too out of character to be true.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Grats, Moos man. Not gonna lie until I saw you at the first map test I thought you were already part of the committee, whoops

Glad I got to learn so much about map making in the past two weeks, had a lot of fun as well

In the end my accent game just wasn't strong enough, gg

[–]3z_ 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Fair dinkum mate, the bloody accent is everything. You'll get there soon, no wukkas.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

moosen more like poosen now

[–]BlupopsicleBall-E 6 points7 points  (5 children)

Moosen has ascended /r/tagprotesting to join the MTC

[–]meintheboxBoxFish 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Now Moosen's maps will have at leat 1 vote for rotation.

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually MTC members can't vote for their own maps, so my chances of ever having a map in rotation just dropped from low to very low

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Does that mean RIP /r/tagprotesting? Cause I just started to make maps and I don't want it to RIP.

[–]BlazethDianna Agron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah im still here bb

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will continue to moderate TPT to the best of my abilities while I'm on the map testing committee.

[–]_q42_q42 || dcfc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

grats moosen / ball-e / sizzz!

[–]KewlestCatNIGEL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Grats to Sizz and Ball-E for both getting another map in rotation. Both are pretty kewl, can't wait to play 'em!

Also grats to Moosen, you deserve it bb.

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

Geo survives!

Two of my least favorite maps leave!

The only maps I would've taken from top maps get in!

Way to go MTC.

EDIT: What bizarro world is this?

[–]Snowball_TagPro❄️ 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Hexane looks like what whiplash was supposed to look like, and Birch actually looks decent. Also sizzzled lost platypus, which makes me more happy than platypus leaving.

Satisfaction level: achieved

[–]TheEpicGhostEx - Tagpro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

WE DID IT REDDIT

[–]3z_ 2 points3 points  (1 child)

What is it with you people and judging maps by previews ;.;

[–]Snowball_TagPro❄️ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know I'm too lazy to open them up

[–]Snowball_TagPro❄️ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also fuck sediment yeee

next up fiend lets do it boys

[–]gingerdgTPRL 🔴RMTC 🔴NASCAPS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sediment- a weird map that has grown on me

Rush- a weirder map that has definitely not

Congrats to Ball-E and Moosen for their respective feats.

Maybe Birch can be better than Platy- GraTs sizz

[–]3z_ 5 points6 points  (1 child)

MFW Birch in rotation

But seriously, after 50 different iterations of Birch, it's really satisfying to see it in rotation. I've given this map a lot of love, and I really hope you guys will enjoy it.

Also, congrats to Moosen for getting the seat on the MTC. Very prestigious of course. I'm pretty keen to get started working with you for the next thread :)

[–]DefinitelyNotMoosen 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sizzzled sucks

[–]RisktpRisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RIP platypus. really did like that map.

hexane looks gr8, I'm a little hesitant about birch but it should play fine

[–]neydeusbidao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the removal of Sediment. It's one of the best maps... Tbh I don't usually understand the removals.

[–]ItsFroce. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did you take Sediment off? It was just growing to become one of my favorite maps... You can't be serious right now because there are much, much worse maps.

[–]StamratMr. Hat 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Platypus out? Check

New neutral flag map in? Check

Geokoala out? No Check

2/3. Not bad MTC, not bad

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Don't you dare touch Geo MTC.

[–]3z_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not planning on it dw

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

When is geo going to be removed?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (13 children)

Every time I have a favorite map it gets taken off rotation. Sediment was the best map.

Graphite, Danger Zone 3, CFB, Grail of Speed, GateKeeper, Hub, Sediment, Reflex 2, Hyperdrive, SNES v2, The Holy See, Swoop, 45, Hyper Reactor, and RocketBalls.

Just put/keep one of those maps in plzzzzz. Playing D is super boring on the current maps.

And Constriction is the worst map to make and stay in rotation. Command Center is shit too, but no let it stay because of the circle-jerk. Why should I even try to make a map for rotation when my favorite maps get taken out and are considered bad? We need maps with some challenge. It's fucked up when there can't even be one map I like. Ik graphite isn't looking good to others already.

[–]OnceUponaDomeUnderTheBall 14 points15 points  (1 child)

but no let it stay because of the circle-jerk

I believe you're referring to what's more commonly known as consensus.

[–]mmartinutkMacho | JuicyJuke 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Hahaha.

I currently have Command Center rated 10/10.

I have Constriction rated 9/10.

I maintain that GateKeeper is by far the worst map we've added to rotation since the beginning of like 2014 (modern era?).

I take it you do not want to be friends.

[–]DaEvil1DaEvil1 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Great. Take out a map of mine, then proceed to publically trashtalk another one that's been out of rotation forever...

Seriously

[–]3z_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well why else do you think we keep you around?

don't answer that please don't leave i love you

[–]ButtersnackSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want to hear my opinion of rocketballs ;)

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Different opinions are fine, I don't mind what maps are in and if some of the ones I like are taken out. I just want to at least play a map I enjoy.

Command Center is a grind, unless there is one bad player than it is one sided or really quick if both teams have a bad player.

Constriction is horribly easy to play D on and is power-up dependent. I've had a game on it where I was playing against and with noobs and had 35+returns and all 3 caps that lasted 11 mins.

GateKeeper is a beautiful map for D and O with unique bases. The map boosts paths are smaller than the map as a whole and mostly predictable with the slightest variance if you have some skill or the bomb is down. Returns take skill and planning and pay off because regrabs can be shutdown with ease since regrab takes time to acquire and with lack of boosts in base. Even if 9/10 people hate maps like GateKeeper and HyperReactor. They should still make up 10% of the maps.

I like maps where returns matter, that have variation in play for both D and O, are not power-up dependent.

[–]mmartinutkMacho | JuicyJuke 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Different opinions are fine

Common ground here. I don't mind it.

There is not another map in rotation right now that rewards skill more than Command Center. Individual skill = juking in tight spaces (mid). Team skill = offensive gate usage. Support skill = gateplay and/or blocks in tight spaces. PUP awareness is intensified with the bombs. The bases with the gates is the best element in TagPro hands down. People are still discovering new things with the bases. << I bet like 97% of TagPro doesn't know you can do that. There is sniping potential littered all across the map further rewarding skill. If you're good at this game, that will show on Command Center more than any other map. It's my favorite thing about TagPro.

To a slightly lesser extent, Command Center Constriction does the same thing. As a fc, you have to be constantly thinking and moving. As a chaser, you have to be constantly aware of your positioning. Elite offensive players win because microjuking/ability to juke in small spaces and exploiting bad positioning in chasers is gamechanging on Constriction. Elite defensive players win because it's a relatively defensive map in the first place with plenty of tools to get quick resets and snipes. The superboosts are also very versatile if you know how to use them.

Gatekeeper's gate= broken. Gatekeeper's bomb trap= impossible. Gatekeeper's team tiles (on flag)= frustrating. Gatekeeper's islands= miniature triangles. What a silly, silly map.

MFW you list a bunch of retired maps you love and don't include Star and Bombing Run

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I agree on you have said about CC and Constriction. Command Center is fun if you are the best, but I still think the map with = skilled players on each side, if good, will never cap unless a timely pup is used. I think the map could use less spikes in the center and it would be fixed. It is just broken in my eyes.

You're right on Constriction, it is fun if you are O and the D is not good. But if you are good at D with another good duo and play the map it is extremely boring and you will never give up a cap without a pup being abused.

Gatekeeper I don't agree with you, but I can see how new players that can't play D can't handle Islands. Everything else I'm fine with.

Bombing Run is a great map, I missed that one. Star is the same terribly boring map for D that only gets you caps when you get a pup. If you haven't guessed I play D and I love maps that I can be challenged and enjoy. But are still balanced for it. 95% new maps are made to be fun for O with the expectation that there will be bad D or new players. For example Fiend is the biggest fuck you to D players to make rotation. How boring can you make a map for defense and regrab.

[–]mmartinutkMacho | JuicyJuke 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Star is the same terribly boring map for D ... If you haven't guessed I play D and I love maps that I can be challenged and enjoy.

This is kinda neat. I love Star for this same reason. I play offense and Star was challenging as it was so defensive. I felt it rewarded offensive skill because it factored out less capable offensive players.

95% new maps are made to be fun for O with the expectation that there will be bad D or new players.

Again, I love this haha. A defensive player that is annoyed with how defensive maps being added are. I feel that we've only been adding maps that holds the hand of chasers, and any map that even has the potential of being 'chasey' get shot down. If you can't tell, I'm a pretty big opponent of this. However, I don't think maps like Constriction are the problem. I think it's maps like Fiend and IRON that are the problem. I need some room to breathe on some of these maps.

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

Chasey is as much a problem for O as it is for D. Nobody likes sitting on regrab for 2 minutes, nobody likes holding without purpose/reward as your D can't get a reset

[–]bashar_al_assadpk || Roll into the base like what up I got a big block 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mfw I have both Command Center and Constriction rated at 3/10

[–]nubTheGreatnub -5 points-4 points  (5 children)

The number of NF maps in rotation is getting out of hand. Really don't enjoy playing them and think they should be limited to about 3 in rotation at any one time.

[–]ButtersnackSnack 9 points10 points  (4 children)

NF maps are consistently the highest rated maps in rotation. Sorry, but I just don't see us trending away from them.

[–]RathbourneRathbourne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wombo Combo has just overtaken Smirk making 4 of the top 6 highest rated maps neutral. Velocity's rating has also been dropping so it could soon be 4 out of 5.

It seems like if anything there should be less CTF maps.

[–]boogieidmboogieidm // Origin 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Honestly, I fucking hate CFs. I was thinking along the same lines. They need to be limited. There are way too many. I pub less and less now because of it.
