Discussion: Ranked PVP Maps

Okay for testing the RNG (different thread) I had to start 10 games to gather some statistics. I also decided to test streams of blood.

8 out of 10 times there was a character of the bottom team starting on A7
0 out of 10 times there was a character of the bottom team starting on A9
7 out of 10 times there was a character of the top team starting on K5
0 out of 10 times there was a character of the top team starting on K7

I dare say without a doubt that the way you've painted the map is wrong.
I think your memory might be playing tricks on you or the map was changed or something else in the programming is causing this, but either way, as it stands right now, there are no starting positions on A9 and K7.

I would invite you to test this out for yourself.

 

Alright thanks for spotting it, I'll find some time to test this map out again and see if I can get a screenshot. If not, I'll just edit OP

 

Updated OP with latest Bridge map.

 

The dungeon map needs a major overhaul. The lack of symmetry and random spawns is game-breaking. Too many times I've seen a guy's wizard spawned between two warriors or my wizard spawned between a warrior or priest.

Even better is when I have the first turn, and use a wall of stone to shut one of their characters out of the middle for two rounds.

Right now playing dungeon is like playing a roulette wheel. Too much luck and not enough fun.

Dungeon has fewest votes out of any map. No one enjoys this map.

 

Um, yes some people DO, in fact, enjoy this map. As for the wall of stone that can be done on many of the maps. Streams is one of the worst for this. One wall of stone and their whole team is locked out for a while unless they have a heck of a lot of movement to go the long way around.

I do think the spawns should be shifted around so that you aren't instantly flanked though.
