Dunno why did I even bothered to say my thoughts about it again here, guess I was enough drunk to do it. ;x
Actually I do appreciate the effort. I too dislike those BnG maps, most of possible shots there are nades and they encourage notching.
These maps don't encourage notching, people making notching guides public is what encourages notching, most BnG players probably dislike the way you actually play BnG, throwing 4s nades instead of 3, repeating constantly etc... You don't see anyone making threads about it, with a big red cross through a map shaped like MonkeyIsland... Not that I mind, I actually respect the fact you are open and honest about playing the way you do before the start of a game, I actually really enjoyed playing against you, it's a different kind of challenge...
Anyone who really understands how to notch can notch on ANY kind of map, I actually find Ramones maps are easier to notch on because there are less hides, these maps are actually harder to notch on because they have harder hides, so if you have a good accurate shot and a variety of shots in mind you should be fine...
The only thing I can say you might agree on, these maps get a bit boring... Ramones maps are the most fun maps i've ever played on the guys a genius when it comes to making BnG maps for funners...
With or without notching, in League matches I just prefer maps with more hides and harder places to hit, it's more challenging and enjoyable for me and that's why I use the maps I use, this "standard" was passed down from the previous BnG players, I was taught "T17 map, delete top fill bottom, -forest" and gradually over time I made small changes to make for more hides to fit on the map.
I know this exact map Ramone uploaded is taking the piss a bit, but I know what he's getting at, and who cares, most people prefer these kind of maps for competitive BnG apparently so what's the big deal, no one forces anyone to play?
