Average map scores after pruning some troll answers:

Cobalt Dream: 3.79
Fallendell, Fairyland: 3.64
Rainbow Comet, Skate Park, Faultline, Scaryland, Vantage: 3.57
Red Comet Remake: 3.50
TitanDuel: 3.43
CrossRoads: 3.36
Crystallized Plains, Mecharavaged, Doldrums: 3.21
Gecko Isle, Sparkles Dry: 2.86
Izki Channel: 2.71

Some candidates for (re)addition:

  • The new Onyx Cauldron version
  • Anvilwood
  • Eye of Horus
  • Otago
  • Heartbreak Hill (idk if this is a good 1v1 map, though)
  • Switch Ravaged Remake for Mecharavaged?
  • Dune Patrol
  • Rotate Izki Channel for some other sea map, or not, idk

At the moment there are 17 maps in the pool rather than the usual 18. So more scope for addition than usual.

It's been an awful long time since the last one of these, actually...

Implemented the following rotation:

Out:

Skate Park
Shimmershore
Onyx Cauldron
CrossRoads
Otago
Anvilwood
Ravaged
Eye of Horus
Rainbow Comet (still in Teams MM)

In:

Canis River
Isidis crack
Wanderlust
Barren Hills
Iceland (was in Teams MM already, now in both)
FrostyCove
Mercurial
Izki Channel
Intersection
Random Plateaus
Lake Carne

Note that Iceland has new start boxes, and Canis River and Isidis crack have altered startboxes for 1v1.

If any of the incoming maps aren't working out well (for 1v1 or in general) let me know.

With plenty of large flat maps like iceland, canis and isidis, maybe rainbow comet could be swapped out for something more bot-friendly, along the lines of random plateaus? vittra?

Rainbow Comet is no longer in the 1v1 MM pool. It is only in the Teams pool. Which I assume nobody minds too much.

I can and will just throw in Random Plateaus, though.

I'm dubious on Iceland, very dispersed mex and they're only 1.7 mex instead of the regular 2.0.

I'd like to see Lake Carne experimented with, match I played vs Pootis a couple months ago played very differently to how 1v1s normally play out.

I guess I can throw Lake Carne in as well, but on probation. It looks to me like a map which severely constrains what plops are feasible. It would not take many complaints for me to take it back out.
