As I said in the tour today, I have decided to refuse picker in dST's from now on. The rules say that picker is optional, and I will be exercising my right to choose a map from now on. I know picker has become the done thing recently but we used to play a lot more tours with the pick system, and I found them much more enjoyable.
Reasons are as follows:
1. I find it more fun. There are less boring maps, and there are some nice maps that aren't in picker that tend to get forgotten about.
2. It is fairer, in my opinion. With picker one person can get lucky with all maps they are good at / have played recently. One pick each is a fair system.
3. I think picker has some problems, I will elaborate on this in the picker thread in dS private board soon (probably today / tomorrow).
You can still use picker for your own picks of course, I will not object to this.
Again I am not trying to start an argument / debate at this time, just posting so you guys are aware before you agree to play with me
