Oh right, yet Amai is also nice guy, didn't heared from him to be rude and toxic towards other people. One thing what amaze me here about polish community is that top rank elite players from poland are very nice people, unlike other games like lol / csgo where greater amount of top polish players are toxic cunts who waste oxygene.M3ATL0V3R wrote:

There was no quarrel just after the maps have been selected, shit only went down when the top player almost didn't get their way. That is when the hatred started to flourish. Similarly, look of the amount of people that are in favor of voting the Mulholland map in, which is basically a testament for the position that it is in fact not about quality, but only popularity.Endaris wrote:
Agreeing on points is vital part of a discussion, so don't skip it.
I do recall the old OP of the feature request being much shorter indeed. Not going to search that up but I guess we can call the second part of my previous post void.
Iirc the old title clearly targetted gimmicky maps though. It had the keyword "gimmicky" in its title at least.
What you're criticising in this thread is the reaction of players on what the mysterious preselector-dude aka Ephemeral+pals made out of that idea.
As I mentioned at the start of my second post:
There is no particular value in loving those maps when there's nothing special about them. If they're neither special nor good then the entire section holds no particular value. It's just a section of maps that randomly happen to have a scoreboard.
I think a lot of the salt being spread roots in the idea of having a category for gimmicky maps being compromised by the preselector and by holding community votes.
Sure, it's what the preselector-dudes make out of it but I think it's short-sighted to call it insufferable elitism if people like BD just wanted that section to highlight and encourage unrankable quality mapping as probably intended with the initial feature request. The idea was just compromised and even though the reaction is certainly not mature I think someone else is to blame - for compromising the idea while ignoring the arguments against it.

ah damn, it was Amai after all not wilchq. Sorry about that, the namechanges get really confusing sometimes.Endaris wrote:
I wouldn't call that straight up elitism though, rather a lack of self-reflection. Because when people think of elite-mappers they would probably not think of BD but rather of lfj, RLC, fanzhen, Lan Wings and the likes. BD is an attentionwhore after all, he knows that and he should know better.
I think it is very stupid and generalising to call insufferable elitism when a lot of mappers didn't give such lame statements as quoted in your OP. Those are 3 mappers but is that representative of our community? I don't think so.
make this thread an epic smackdown where I pick apart the elitist entitlement, blatant disdain for the tastes of lower ranked players, and generally disgusting attitude that came with the quotes.You're doing a fuckload of interpretation there. There are many questions that have to be asked and "How many people voted that even knew all of the maps?" or "How long was the average time that was used for the mapevaluation and voting decision?" are probably the ones that are the main reason behind the digust of the quoted players regarding the voting's outcome.
