Idea Alternating Map Lists

I know the new wave just released, but I still get really bored with the old maps.

What if the map rotation alternated every 1-2 months to keep things kind of fresh?

Here's an example of two 40ish-map sets that might be interchanged. I tried to pair maps with either decent alternate versions/reskins or others relatively comparable in gameplay.

Maybe the two sets could even be reduced to 30 to cut out the "fluff" and just take breaks from specific maps.

SET 1 - SET 2
Academy II - Academy I
Airlock I - Celestial Gardens
Atlantis I - Cuboid
Bazaar - Citadel I
Beaver Creek I - Walrus Creek
Blackout - Whiteout
Canadian Fort - Canadian Fort I
Castle Cavern IV - Castle Wars IV
Clocktower IV - Clocktower V
Desert Strike III - Mario Strike
Divinity's Reach V - Aquafus V
Dragon Valley I - Dragon Valley V
Futuristic City - Tuscan City I
Giant Chests I - Giant Emojis
Harvest I - Kauwela Shore
Kill Creek IV - Kill Creek V
Large Hall I - Chernobyl
Lowrise - Lowprice
Martian Outpost I - Discovery
Modern Diversity - Shattered Rift VI
Molten - Tanks
Moria V - Geo
Night Raid II - Medieval Siege
Opposites Collide VII - Opposites Collide V
Orchid Cascades I - Wisteria Grove
Platforms I - Fatforms
Quintet Falls I - Halo V
Ravine Ruins - Lighthouse V
Rocky Ruins - River Crossing
Skyworlds V - Skyworlds I
Slate - Woodcastle Arena I
Standoff V - Kingdom Islands I
Sunstar - Forest of Rivals I
Tibetan Seclusion I - Norse Dominion I
Treeline I - Aurora
Unholy Faith V - Serpent's Lair IV
Valley of Ruin IV - Valley of Siege
Villaggio Chiesa - Castle Village
Waitomo Caves - Hortis Arboribus


Feedback?

 

1. Should we start putting the original mapmakers as an author on reworks?
If you guys think it's a change that should be made we can do it. I'd always followed Saixos's examples, idk the protocol.

2. I appreciate the old map boosters,but some of the old ones are absolutely miserable to play on. I think the maps that were still pretty good but pushed out of rotation because duplicate reworks entering rotation could be given another shot. (Ex: when Pavo's Academy was replaced with the newer version, it was actually rated higher than the newer.)

3. I like the separate server idea, but I also think having too many maps makes it hard for new players to learn all of them. It takes about a month for a new player playing regularly to learn layouts... And we've creeped up from about 40 maps to over 50 in rotation.

4. What are your favorite maps removed from rotation in old waves?
@everyone^^^



Looking at the difference in voting opinions at the beginning of a wave to the end shows me that opinions really shift around over time. I never could've never predicted Large Hall, Molten, or Airlock staying in rotation this wave.

Ye. It's either I make lists to calm myself down or I spiral into fits over petty things.

Lists it is for now.
