Because then nations with leopards would ban every city map, and it would be russia vs russia every game.
So… you made two checkable assertions in your reply to @BleedingUranium :
- That banning a map only affected your individual queue time, not everybody’s queue time in that match pool; and
- That the player who bans a map is kicked from pool-to-pool, not that the pool goes map-to-map until it finds one the pool accepts.
I am just noting these are both opposite statements to what Gaijin told us about how it worked when it was added in 2019, which remains the only real evidence available to us on this issue.
Your stated belief in that post that they couldn’t possibly be so stupid as to have designed something into War Thunder as they’ve described, because what they’ve described could possibly totally break the game experience for some players, is super-cute. (insert “first-time?” hanging gif here). :)
So, you’re being unnecessarily rude, but I don’t mind pointing out the problems with your argument again yet one more time. You just keep being a little rage monkey if you want, son.
Re “86 maps.” But you said yourself above there’s only 16 in the BR range you like to play. 16v16 games with 1 map ban per player (or even half the players) could potentially remove all maps from rotation, if the code allowed it to. Ignoring you also get to ban a different map for every environment if you’re premium (not just 1 out of 86) so how many maps there are in all modes combined is not the useful number for the combinatorics here you think it is.
You also said above that banning a map would have no effect on others’ queue time (“the longer queue time, only for that person alone”, your words). But here you say even in your own theory about how this works, it would actually have a perceptible effect on everybody (“worst case 10 seconds”) without acknowledging you’re now contradicting your own previous statement.
Those mistakes are just because you’re clearly not a coherent or logical person, that’s fine. More importantly for other people, however, is that you keep claiming the matchmaker selecting the map you ban just bounces you as the “banner” from that player pool on to the next one. I quoted Gaijin telling us it does not in fact work that way, that the match pool stays the same group of players, and only the map choice changes to the next one in the rotation, cycling until it finds one they can all live with.
This is the core reason Gaijin has given why the game cannot currently support more than one ban per Premium player. But your brain can’t seem to process this at all, and so you’re instead continuing to assume the matchmaker actually works much differently and better for these purposes than what they’ve told us (on no evidence other than your belief Gaijin’s matchmaking code can’t possibly be that bad, it seems) and they’ve just been lying to us about that when they could have given out more bans at any time. For the last five years. For some reason.
What Gaijin has said quite clearly, several times now is, if there are any more map bans and dislikes in a given player pool then there are today, there is a growing mathematical risk with the matchmaking code they use that no map is acceptable, more pools can never resolve to a game (and presumably everybody eventually gets dumped back to the common pool to be re-selected, or some players just are selected by another pool they’re in that can still successfully trigger and those departures then alter the ban balance) and that failstate is what will drag out the player wait time for everyone in that pool. The wait time to shuffle through all possible maps and run that check is going to be instantaneous. What adds to the wait is the pool can’t launch a game for anyone if those conditions are met, and so they will all just sit and watch the timer spin.
I’ve given you several opportunities now to offer anything in support of your rather bizarre contention about why Gaijin would be lying to us about all this, but all you have offered in return is insults because I guess your lizard brain has dimly perceived someone is making you look rather silly on the internet today. So, I think we’re done here.
EDIT:… aaaaand shadowbanned. Nope, we can throw this to the mods, idm. All I did here was respond to someone who raged out on everyone who challenged him in this thread with insults and nerdrage, and pointed out they were being infantile. If calling out the trolls for trolling is against the rules, you don’t really have any forum rules at all.
