Clockwork Castletown is a terrible map for casual players

[Valence]

Well yeah, then let's say it's a skill/glue issue, then what am I supposed to do? If I don't follow, I'm not even helping and I leave them 1v4 as ranged player. If I go another way, I'm mega exposed and if they even notice me and jump me, I would essentially have leroyed them away from my team.

This is slowly starting to turn me off that map altogether, even though I don't hate the map per se. I just think that random players are unable to cope with its specifications and it makes the whole experience way more lopsided and miserable most of the time. Now then the elephant in the room is, do we keep blaming the human races for being monkeys, or do we adjust the map designs with that in mind? Truly there has to be some kind of balance to reach there? Could we consider closing those doors for at least until the crystal is unlocked?

you have to simply not care about the result. otherwise youll never enjoy it. playing with randoms will always be this way

I mean, there is not caring about the ladder, and not caring at all, but for the latter you'd need to have lost all will to live at that point. It's not about caring or tryharding on the ladder, it's just about caring getting decent games. The ones that end under 2min because of that very problem I mentioned, I find that they're a waste of time and energy, and feel bad no matter the side you're on.

lose all will to live? lets not be so dramatic. if the game is going to end it 2 minutes, then let it end in 2 minutes and play another round. or just avoid the map. it goes away after an hour or so. you cannot control the cosmic forces of the blueberry, youll drive yourself mad trying to do so.

That's what I'm already doing. Why are you moving the goalposts? You told me to not care about the result. I don't really care about them already. I care about the game we're getting, and this map doesn't deliver much, which is my feedback about it.

I'm really unsure what is the point you're trying to make here? If that was that I should just not even care about the fun or quality of games I'm getting, then no, that would just be apathetic and sad.

no goal posts were moved, dont use terms you are unfamiliar with. yes the map is terrible. just dont play it if you are "losing the will to live"
lol

Still unsure what point you're trying to make by replying to me since the beginning?

I'm not losing the will to live by playing it. You should actually read what i'm writing, maybe that's the issue?
