Confirmed: High Tier games DO have the best map and game mode variety

[5th Fedcom Rat]

Nah, just the most dual gauss boats and arctic cheetahs.

We ran an 8-man of DRG-1Ns and kept voting Terra Therma one night last week. People were not pleased.

So one screen grab really does prove a point, eh? Dang, guess my Orion VA really is secretly Meta then......

I mean, hey, I can get any map and mode I want...as long as I'm with a 6 man premade, guaranteed.

You think that's bad, get a 12 man with 6 Dual Gauss Jags and 6 Gaussavens.

Can't comment on that.

Can comment that on 28 drops post Voting, I have gotten Conquest, exactly twice, Assault 8 times and Skirmish the remaining 18.

Map Selection has been more varied, With Frozen City and FCN taking the lead (8 combined), HPG coming next (6), Canyon Network (5) and Crimson Straits (5), Tourmaline (2) and Viridian and Terra with (1) each.

Not an exhaustive sample size, but the trend is already pretty strong.

Cold/Long sight line maps favored, Skirmish massively favored. Conquest almost totally avoided. And that not really changed whether the match was Me and the Potatoes, or me and my Comp Overlords, both who have leaned the same way. (1 each on Conquest, since 1 crop was on my new tier 4 alt acct, and the other had Forum Tier 1s in it.)

Anyhow, that's just my experience, as actually documented, on my little checksheet next to my mouse pad.

Got that last night.
Had a gloriously pitched battle over Kappa of all location.
It was great, will vote again.

Actually, could both have been potatoe teams... Novakaine is Tier 4 (which is the match I knew was a bunch of spuds) but thought Team Chevy was a 1, turns out he was a 2, so it's possible both Conquests were Spud Matches.

You had me at "Mech of Duty".
