Title: DotA Map Poll
Post by: cen on July 31, 2020, 20:48
As I said in the other topic, this is a consultation poll which will help determine which map will be played in the short to mid term on the bots.

You can post pros and cons as bullet points below to state your opinion but keep it straight and to the point and don't reply to other people's posts, lengthy discussions should be kept in https://dota.eurobattle.net/la/forum/index.php/topic,191431.0.html

If you choose the old version, then you will permanently refuse all changes and bug fixes.
Tuskar will use ult with x2 damage (like a one punch man) and others bugs.

Pros:
1) new menu is more user-friendly than config.dota. (soon all functionality will be moved to the menu)
2) new cool mechanics. (for example - stacking mutliple Linken's Spheres on a single target in ver 7.00d0 and newer)
3) amazing clickable hud.
4) stable new versions with bug fixes and improvements.
5) gameplay update (items, heroes, map changes, and many other)

Cons:
1) need to get used to.

This new map is unbalanced, lot of changes some heroes are retarded like bear huskar and some heroes are shit like tuskar for exsample you got stuck in your owne ice talents degrated just sheat. Good things are healing pools and warkey in the game. Just to much changes in one version. I am playing dota for 15 years and this much changes is like a new game to me i dont wona play lol or dota 2 cuz i like dota1 and am used to its grafics and gameplay, and with this map its no longer dota 1. Than i dont see any point playing this game on this server we can play dota 2?

I think nothing prevents from waiting a little and changing the map back to new version after reverting after bugs and stupid moments are fixed (for example f9 not working and crashing is a serious issue, dont know how many have it beside me though)

Does staff can see whoever voted on the pool? Someone from same ip keeps create forum accounts to spam voting on 6.90 as it got 10 vote within 30 minute, i don't know anyone else did that but those whoever keep to creating many accounts for voting their favorite maps should be banned from creating account

We will remove such votes from the poll at the end. If we find out the main account behind such votes the person wll be locked.

@cen I remember you said hosting both maps is a no go, because we don't have enough players, however I believe on a day when it takes too long for a game people will join the other version anyway.

So option of two will really be possible just at the peak hours, while when there are no people, we will just join what's available.

ATM it's summer so sure a bit less players, and even less because some do hate new ver. (I don't like it much myself, but still play it, as I don't care too much about stats, or winning, and it's so fked up, and have random outcomes that it's fun at times xd...)

Just an idea...

Decision time.

After removing votes of the very smart people who voted with multiple accounts (please kill yourself), results are roughly 28-35, can't know for sure tho. v7 has a slight edge.

After reading the discussions and player feedback here is what will be done for now:
1. 6.90a8 will be put back as default.
2. v7.00d1 will be available via !privobs and will count towards ladder.


Points:
- some of the bugs and imbalances mentioned tell me it is not quite the prime time for v7, we will wait for final release before putting it back as default.
- I don't have time to update map versions every week
- at the same time it would be nice to have a mechanism for testing betas before release and not have such radical changes mid-season. !privobs will allow this.
- !privobs does not allow pubbing the game but that restriction will be removed for now
- I expect v6 will have to be removed in the long term, depending on the game stats.



The change will be implemented shortly, when the time comes we will have another debate and possibly poll. You can continue the discussion in the other topic.
