Previous seasons have demonstrated that some of the maps aren’t the best fit for the specific requirements of Ranked Battles, so we’ve updated the list of available locations, removing Erlenberg and Swamp.
so uhhhhh what ever happened to this notion? I have played 2 games on Erlenberg already and people are reporting games on Swamp as well. You really like collecting the most statistics right before you change something don't you.

In seriousness, the issue here is that at the end of the day tier 10 is expensive to play and a competitive setting is even more expensive due to the need for premium ammo and consumables. And to what end are we investing the time, energy, and credits? For bonds. WG really could cut out the middleman and just sell improved equipment and directives for credits and both parties would get exactly what they want without going through the trouble of managing a new mode and consequently splitting the random queues. And I've said many times in the past that if they did sell these goodies for credits it would actually be a massive boon for newer accounts as they could use directives like the one that gives sixth sense if you don't already have it (if it was affordable, that is). Hint, hint.
As of the mode itself, its perhaps a little more approachable than before but is still schizophrenic. If they wanted an individualistic mode where players are to act independently for their own gain, then why still score with a large emphasis on win/loss? And if they wanted a competitive team-based mode, why still rely on the random **** otherwise known as 15v15 format, and without any form of voice comms no less? It doesn't make sense to compromise, just pick one or the other and stick to it.

Great suggestions, Miko. Can you post it in Russian on the RU forum so it will actually be heard? The NA forum is just a bunch of us players.

so we are we going to get a response to this? Previous seasons have demonstrated that some of the maps aren’t the best fit for the specific requirements of Ranked Battles, so we’ve updated the list of available locations, removing Erlenberg and Swamp.

So why didnt WG remove the maps they said they would from the rotation? The announcement specifically states erlenberg was removed, but its still in there. I can provide a replay if you really want.

Erlenberg and Swamp are still in rotation.
No link to online out-of-game leaderboard.
#36 Posted Feb 15 2018 - 02:30
So erlenberg and swamp still in. When are you going to remove this [edited]?
#37 Posted Feb 17 2018 - 19:49
I came here from the link that said discuss on the forums and ended up in [edited]and whine in the forums. I don't think there's a single positive comment yet so I'll post one.
Thanks WG for this event. You didn't have to do it, and by the comments here these punks don't deserve it, but I appreciate the endeavor and have enjoyed it. It feels like a typical random tier 10 match with higher rewards for winning and carrying than normal. I especially like the redone ranking system so far. It's much better than the first two renditions of this game style.
