Is this late april fools? If you rotate a map 180 degrees, top will now be south. So now South will win 51.8% of the time. How does this balance it. You turn a can upside down, does that not make it a can anymore. What is this lunacy. Serously. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[FBC] Logan_MountStuart Players 416 posts 10,715 battles Report post #5 Posted June 13, 2022 If that's a joke then I will be impressed, it's a degree of humour long since gone from WG. I don't believe it though and I suspect not many others will either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[COOOP] Shirakami_Kon Players 2,624 posts 12,776 battles Report post #9 Posted June 13, 2022 Ok, ok, ok... so hear me out. I know I'm absolutely mega dumb, but, but, but... Man, I need to make some calculations here, and will probably embarrass myself, but... Doesn't... *smoke starts coming out of the ears because of the brain overworking* rotating the ocean map 180 degrees result in... *hair sets on fire because of the heat* the exact same map? So what's changing exactly? I am so confused, please send help. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Estaca_de_Bares Players 1,534 posts 25,837 battles Report post #10 Posted June 13, 2022 So... could we now, because of such a situation, have two maps, Ocean and Naeco (oh, sorry, uɐǝɔO would be more proper) instead? That would be interesting, you know, because it's the kind of content the forumites have been so vocal about... On a more serious note, maybe, just maybe, it's a matter of not perfectly mirrored spawns or cap zones, which wouldn't be surprising: remember that long ago in Two Brothers, domination mode, at first no caps were owned but IIRC the northern spawn reached and took B before the southern spawn could do the same with C. Or it could be pure subliminal psychology (north-top/south-bottom) like the Bouba/Kiki effect. If the latter were the case, rotating the map would solve nothing, but I guess only The Spreadsheet™ has the final say. Salute. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NWP] 159Hunter Players 4,528 posts Report post #14 Posted June 13, 2022 I thought WG was all about incremental changes, so why not start by rotating 10° and see if this has an impact? I mean, you guys can't even follow your own balancing strategy ... 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[OM] ghostbuster_ Players 4,996 posts 21,881 battles Report post #25 Posted June 14, 2022 Guys hey guys, but they are too busy with pumping out new premiums, new super duper acradey super ships and ofc subs. Werent these what we (community) have been asking for years?(!) Besides, they gave us a brand new ocean map. just stop complaining and be thankful to WG. OK? Give to the devs a big well done from us @YabbaCoe and @Seraphice, would you? Who would have thought rotating the map 180° would solve the problems. Devs proved once more that they are people with big brains. Long live the wows devs! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
