Seems to pop up way to much.

[Biglead]

Quit complaining or they will raise the % on Terra Thermal again.

[Lyoto Machida]

I don't notice this...in fact, as an LRM boat, I don't think it pops up often enough.

[BlackIronTarkus]

Rather play terra therma five time in a row followed by river city night than play a single game on caustic valley.

Ymmv.

I see a lot of canyon, crimson, and mordor.

Only map I utterly despise is River City Night. Maybe if we had vision options that weren't total failures, made worse for certain color deficiencies in sight it would be fine.

A nice feature for solo drops (and only solo) would be a map veto. Murderously difficult with our current matchmaker I suspect, just something that would be nice to have. Imagine the metrics on vetoes.

I like Caustic Valley, but then again I like hot maps because most people don't manage heat very well, so when they shut down I can just shoot them all day long and there isan't a damn thing they can do about it.

[Barantor]

I would play caustic valley 10 times in a row if I could go a day without terra therma.

I would still rather play terra therma than river city night since the vision modes mess with my colorblindness making me a liability to my team.

Maybe I'm being trolled, but Mordor and Tourmaline comes up early+often for me for some reason. Caustic isn't too far off either, but whatever I guess.

TBH, I was expecting an inappropriate joke about the "map name".

They did recently raise the percentage for Caustic. It was in the patch notes of a recent patch. Apparently, it wasn't coming up enough.

See and River City Night is one of my favorite maps and I don't mind caustic but... everyone has varying opinions on this game except that ... EVERYONE HATES THE VOLCANO.

The map I've seen enough of to drive me nuts is Tourmaline. Literally over a hundred more drops there than any other map. I was ok with it when it was new, but now I've seen it so damn much I dislike it.

If you looks at those stats I have played Tourmaline A LOT more then the other maps.

I strongly suspect that this is a case of "random is random, not round-robin".

At least you're only a liability to yoru team on River City night! People like me always are a liability! I wish I'd drop less often for the sake of my team.

caustic all day if you can avoid mordor, seriously. And with 12vs12 caustic plays nice and fast so it's over quick if you don't like it.

Not everyone. The only problem I have with the map is that it was clearly NOT designed with slope code in mind. So many slopes that are just a wee bit too steep to climb without JJs, making so much of the map dead space and movement a bit tedious due to the long walks around terrain. What I hate is being seemingly perpetually stuck on the team that doesn't understand the map and how to play it... not to mention that if you try to tell them, they just ignore it or argue.

Caustic is the only map I really hate, because I'm not a fan of ridge-humping, and that map is just one giant ridge-hump. And it was already my most frequently-occurring of the small maps, by a significant margin, even before they turned it up. *sigh*

Amen! Amen.

I can't stand the mordor map either, far too hot, terrible terrain so most of the map is not useable.

Also anyone notice that according to the map statistics tourmaline is hotter, yet in practice my mech heats up far more on mordor.

Not for me. CV is a nice place to fight.
