Prologue 1:
Just had a really frustrating game as Allies in (6) Angermuende. A map perfect for turtling (good for Axis). Full of buildings (Fallschrimjaeger heaven). No room to maneuver/flank and encourages frontal slugfest (Axis favoured). 12 resource points instead of 10, thus late game comes faster (guess who that is good for). Only thing Allies has going for them is artillery, which gets nullified by CAS commander alone. Literally dodged like 30 Stuka AT Strafe and Stuka Dive Bomb but couldn't dodge two and of course there goes my Priest and Jackson. But that is another problem.
Prologue 2:
Just have been involved in a thread in CoH2 official forum talking about maps. Basically, the thread started out by OP saying more community maps should be added to the automatch and Cynthia_RE replied saying something like it needs a lot of QA and the resource has to be pulled from other departments.
Rant/Pointing Out the Obvious:
First, I do not want to come across as arrogant and tell you how to do your business. But I get a little frustrated(actually got a migraine after the game due to observing too much bullshits) when I see Angermuende in the map rotation and I see this post from Relic saying all maps that goes into automatch are heavily QA'd. I also remember Don River and Hill 331, and still see Minsk Pocket and Faceoff at Rostov to mention a few of lesser maps. In the stream, we also saw two maps. Pinsk Marshes, I do not know for sure if it will be a competitive map, but it sure is open albeit swampy. We also saw Lenin; a slugfest, no strat and chokepoint-city heaven map. So forgive me, if I am a little worried about the possibility of you guys adding these maps into the automatch, given your track record.
Relic, maps have a huge impact on balance. I remember PQ saying something about letting the Meta evolve without constant patching every little things that seem wrong at the moment. But that will not happen on these shitty maps. Fix the maps please. If all the automatch has been heavily QA'd like you imply, obviously that wasn't enough. It has been months since you asked us about map feedback. Yet almost nothing has changed. Couldn't relocate the precious resources during all that time? The same precious resource that thought Minsk Pocket was OK, Trois Point was OK...
TLDR: Fix the maps please.
