So first off just wanna say I love this game, the people who still play it and the team that works on it.
Now to my concern. I have played this game for 3 years now, I took a year break and decided to come back. I am very much a causal person as are my friends so we mainly find ourselves playing quickmatch and very very rarely unranked. BY GOD BLIZZARD CAN WE GET ANOTHER MAP BESIDED TOWERS OF DOOM! I looked back at my past 40 matched (all played recently since returning) as well as listening to some of my friends experiences.
I am under the understanding that Valskya and black hearts bay are not found in ranked/unranked and that cursed mines has been removed from the rotation completely. I’ve seen in past decussion a way to pick what maps you would pr wouldn’t like (similar to seige), that would obviously lean towards team fight, global, split pushing or specialist focused teams (for those who remember back when they were called that). But I’ve looked at my past map history, 40% of those 40 games were towers of doom, the second most popular being curse of the raven, then garden terror.
The maps that have showed up once include: hanamura, braxis holdout (2 actually), temples, (infernal shrine has 3), valskya (2), nuke, cursed hollow 4, garden has 4, and alterac has 2, battlefield, dragon shire (2), black hearts. I have not seen one game of the spider queen, some of these maps I have played once, and I get towers of doom way to much, don’t get me wrong I have a 70% winrate on the map, I still have fun playing it but I also enjoy not flipping a coin to see if it will be the same “go collect camps and shrines” for the next 20 minutes.
I feel like this isn’t truly random and I have data from me and others to back that up. How in 40+ games of QM do you not see one map. There is 14 of them. I should nearly have seen every map 4 times bar 4 of them while I have not seen more than 3 that many times. I honestly get really lucky and get the map I’m best with at or somehow the game pushes certain maps out at certain times or updates.
Anyway I hope that someone can shed some light on my situation, any way to help or any knowledge that might be useful. Have a good day everyone and thank you for reading this.
