Default June map rotation

Druids
Imperial
Frozen
Jade
Corrupted

Immediately eye catching is that it's only 5 maps. Aside from that it's a fairly decent cycle, i don't like corrupted but the other maps are pretty decent.

I'm still disappointed i didn't see frozen isle 5 times .

Calm down lads, it'll be fine! I promise we won't see 50% sinsplits!

I love using the word "lads." It pisses people off

Regardless, all the maps are fine except for corrupted, but yeah, too splitty.

I don't know what they were thinking, corrupted should never be on a map rotation its just such a bullshit map.

Can't say i like frozen much either, i loved the map until they introduced shadow steps but its just abused now.

Druid's is not a very good split map at all, it's ok for flagger pushes but dedicated split is not that great on it.

On Imperial is a little tougher to deal with a good sin split but it's also quite doable.

Frozen is good for split period, but I think for Frozen there's much better builds than sinsplit.

On Jade it's quite easy to defend your base against sinsplit and still push flags out if you want.


Corrupted is the only map I'd really fear sin split on, the base layout + npc locations make it very abusable for shadow steps, there's very little you can do about sins running all over your base.

All in all a pretty decent rotation imo, though I'd rather have had Wurms or even Uncharted instead of Corrupted.

VoD on druid's is quite possibly worse than VoD on meditation.

Except for Corrupted, on all those maps it is very easy to keep all npcs alive until VoD. Most of all Druids and Frozen because those are more circle shaped, as in if you stand in the middle you can easily reach all your npcs while hardly having to move. Imperial and Jade have footmen, so that makes it a little harder on those maps.

Anyway, no matter which maps we get, the result will be the same. The only thing worth mentioning is that there are only 5 maps this time.

love it, actually hoping for sinsplits, they're fun now as they're a bit rarer and just so much easier to beat!

epic final map <3

Final can also be in Jade if only so few teams enter that 5 rounds are used on first rounds.

Or if enough teams enter, final can be in druids.

Too many maps that favor dedicated split play, which I am not saying is a bad thing, I would like to see a fair bit of dedicated splits but also a fair bit of active splits with collapsing, etc.

I would have preferred:

Druids
Jade
Warrior's
Frozen
Uncharted

Must say I quite like this map rotation so far. The only one that's a bit less is Jade, but it's not too bad after the changes they've made to it
