Return of Reckoning

Hear me out.... i've never really understood why only certain scenarios are available at any one time? I then thought, could this be a server load issue but the server is in complete control over how many scenarios it will pop at any one time. So circling back to the original topic - why cant we have access to all scenarios at all times?

A rotating group makes queuing for SC's feel fresh each week. Plus there's about 3 sc's that are broken for reknown per hour, so only the best 3-5 sc's will be qued for.

I agree. It would lead to the same scenario popping over again and again. Also, the list of scenarios you can queue for would get too long, you'd need a different interface for selecting them. Which again would lead to more scenarios being (purposefully) ignored.

I agree with the SC rotation too.

if they did that then people would only queue for the 1-3 favorable/"fun" maps/maps that fit their team comp and all the rest would be dead outside of live events (and even those during live events would see less play since there would be a larger pool and after finishing the live event people would queue something else if the event one sucked). queue times would likely massively increase in certain cases. more than half the maps would cease to exist in an instant. also queue menu too large, confusion amongst newer players because too many options which we already see with discordant queue, qqueuer addon bloated/requiring new update, etc.

it'd be like playing counterstrike 1.6 and most people only ever playing 24/7 de_dust2 servers with rest of the maps accounting for 10% playrate.

so basically it's pretty much a lose-lose in almost all situations. if they did any change to map pool i'd rather they just take the maps with awful playrate/maps unfavored by the community out of the common rotation and put them in very rarely (twisting tower for example, notoriously bad map hated by most).

Sure - I hear you all and do agree with your comments. Instead then what about a full suite just for discordant - as discordant is only one option then people cant game it and just queue for their favorite.

If i have a choice and regular pop i wont queu for anything different that northenwatch.
This ks best map design and devs should try ro recreate that for most of other maps instead making barriers left and right
