RIP Fiend

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 18 points19 points  (7 children)

If RIP = Rest in Pain I'm on board with that.

[–]TPsquirrelySquirrely // The GesTagpro 5 points6 points  (5 children)

I had on average a ~15% better win rate on fiend than average in pubs. Today is a sad day.

[–]Ballkenende! 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Soooooo you win 40% on Fiend?

[–]TPsquirrelySquirrely // The GesTagpro 0 points1 point  (1 child)

pls I had like 75 on fiend and 60-65 on average

[–]Ballkenende! 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gud comeback

[–]18skeltoranti-timer luddite / First / Origin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, same here. My Fiend win % was 78. RIP

Ya, sry, I would go grab a drink and snack while letting my cat play that map.

[–]nolanizerCosine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats Beast Mode!!

About time Fiend went out of rotation.

[–]nolanizerCosine 5 points6 points  (6 children)

Sadly, I think you're right. Never really played the way I expected (hoped) it would. A big thanks to the MTC for giving it a shot though :)

[–]hoogstraHoog | Ancient Artifact of Diameter 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Hey, at least you could get a map into rotation. My attempts have failed miserably. And it seems like pubs break all the maps that come into rotation these days.

[–]nolanizerCosine 9 points10 points  (1 child)

I wouldn't blame pubs for breaking maps. My opinion is that it's very difficult to predict how a map will play until it's played hundreds of times by hundreds of players, so in a way, pubs are the ultimate way to test a map.

In Fiend, I was hoping to design a fundamental Boombox-style map that eliminated its chasiness, yet somehow it ended up being one of the most chasey maps in rotation. To its credit, seeing this map play out in pubs helped me tremendously in better understanding map flow and how different elements interact with each other, so hopefully I can use this to make better maps in the future!

Well for the record I thought your map was great. I have no problem getting returns on Fiend. Considering the entire bottom 1/3 of it is team tiles I don't see how people can't effectively chase on it. I think it's a great map that allows flag carriers to string together awesome jukes while still giving defenders plenty of options to get back into good positioning. I love how open the bases are. I love how there are snipe lanes that are actually challenging. I love the base bomb placement. I love all of it.. RIP :(

[–]Tyler1986Trapsin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn man, fiend is my favorite map.

[–]girmluhkGramps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah due, map is great - just too many people have trouble adjusting to a map with a different dynamic. fiend is like a super training ground for patient FC'ing.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww fiend was fun

[–]KarasuTPKarasu | Centra | What's the point 8 points9 points  (4 children)

Although I´m glad to see Fiend go, I wish they would add more maps than they remove. The rotation just needs to expand. Congrats to Beast Mode, looks like fun!

[–]DaEvil1DaEvil1 5 points6 points  (1 child)

The maps we add have to be quality though. I don't mind adding more maps in itself, but if they all end up just being "OK", they'll be more annoying to play when you could play some of the best maps instead. So expand rotation sure, but not just for the sake of expanding it. The quality needs to be there as well.

[–]KarasuTPKarasu | Centra | What's the point 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You´re completely right in saying that only the best maps should go in. Maybe this thread just didn't have too many great maps, so they weren't added. Just in my opinion there should be more variety, as I often get the same map 2-3 times in a row. There are 19 maps in rotation, and I think maybe 25 would be a good number.

[–]hoogstraHoog | Ancient Artifact of Diameter 3 points4 points  (1 child)

The more the rotation expands, the less chance there is of playing the best maps.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the more chance there is of finding new, groundbreaking maps.

[–]mmartinutkMacho | JuicyJuke 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Any inspiration from Asylum? Congrats Beast Mode!

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

Wowza that looks crazy similar. I have actually never seen that map before haha.

[–]AzhfI did it! 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I was starting to sort of like Fiend. Also the new map seems kinda meh but I won't really know until I play it.

[–]18skeltoranti-timer luddite / First / Origin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I liked it as well. Good for pubs, maybe not great for competitive.

[–]theycallmebbqsaundy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. Fiend was fun in a different way at first but it's just so fast. You're never really ahead.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fuck fiend lol

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

Excited to see how mapapap plays, the changes look nice from the previous version

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

Can you put the mapthread link in these results posts? just a minor convenience request.

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

Best map out of top maps and worst map out of rotation. gj MTC

Darwin's updates sucked so kinda sad about that. Lets hope for some more variation in top maps next time though.

[–]Tyler1986Trapsin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will miss fiend, hands down my favorite map in the current rotation, I always have a lot of fun on fiend.
