Tourmaline Desert 26
Frozen City 30
Caustic Valley 31
River City 29
Forest Colony Snow 27
Frozen City Night 40
River City Night 26
Alpine Peaks 26

When can we expect the bonus chance to get Tourmaline to go away? This is ridiculous. I'm glad you guys are proud of your new map, but I don't need it crammed down my throat every other match.

I want it to stay forever. Make it take up river city's spot.

One of the devs came right out and stated that the chance to play in Tourmaline got bumped up a bit compared to all the other maps. I'm willing to bet that it's going to return to the more normal chance next patch.

That said, I find it funny that when Alpine was released there was complaining that people didn't get to play on it often enough, and now that Tourmaline is released here are the complaints we're playing on it too much.

The part I don't like is I've played 1 map almost as much in one week as I have all the other maps in 3. It's a nice map, I like nearly everything about it, I just don't want to play it every 2nd or 3rd map.

I don't mind it actually. Aside from the increased map glitches I've noticed since it released...

So glad they upped the frequency for the newest map! It looks great, and, unlike the others, I don't feel like I know all the best venues of attack and defense... yet:)

I'd like to see maps without variants to be selected as often as BOTH variants of other maps.

I. e. by my definition we now have not 9, but 6 maps. So let the chances be:

Tourmaline - 1/6
Alpine - 1/6
Caustic - 1/6
Forest Colony - 1/6 (1/12 rain + 1/12 snow)
Frozen City - 1/6 (1/12 day + 1/12 night)
River City - 1/6 (1/12 day + 1/12 night)

I really enjoy these larger maps and look forward to 12 v 12. I hope they can come out with a map pack that has a bunch of them bundled. I do have to admit though playing the same maps over and over gets a little rough. I know they are trying but no way are they going to please everyone.

Next patch, would seem fairly obvious. Complain about it if it's not normal rotation after April 2nd

Am I reading this wrong or is it tied for the map you've played the least?

I think we need to up your Tourmaline desert count. I have submitted a ticket for you.

Well, speaking of maps that suck up your time....

4 min games on Riv City, 7 min on Alpine. Time really does begin to add up!

You'd say "size matters" - but its just over 4 1/2 mins avg on Tourmaline too.

Forest Colony is missing in the stats.
And I rarely see Caustic and Forest lately. It's either Tourmaline, Alpine, River City or Frozen City.
Would be really nice if we had more influence on the map selection.
