      To me it seems that the community values global rating more than 1v1 rating. It's shown everywhere on pub games and people are judged by global rating over their 1v1 ratings.

      Which is strange to me because I would say a good 1v1 rating is much more proof of real skill. I would be more motivated to reach my appropriate 1v1 rating if it meant that the perception of my skill in the community would become more accurate.

          Haha. Yeah so it begs the question.. if it's not being taken seriously, then why does global rating take precedence in the UI over ranked rating?

            Cuz why wouldn't it? Global is the 4fun custom lobby rating. So it makes sense that it would show up in custom lobbies.
            1v1 ladder you will see the ladder rating in game.
            2v2? Same deal.
            TMM? Same deal.

            Not sure why would anyone want to display 1v1 rating in setons or gap lobby.

              Ladder is fine I just get bored of the same maps over and over again I'm 900-ish 1v1. I prefer Mapgen keeps it fresh.
              The BO argument doesn't really bother me. I don't have any map specific BO's just generic ones, I don't think they really dictate the out come of the game that much as long as the opponent understands a generic one and all concepts in the game.
              The rating argument, 1v1 vs global, I believe is more of a playstyle difference than who is better or which holds more weight.
              The best way I've heard it explained talks about player map responsibility and how 1v1 rating doesn't always translate to global and vice versa.

              My suggestion would be make a second 1v1 que which is only Mapgen and changes weekly. Do it for a month and see which que gets played the most. I believe that its a foregone conclusion that the map gen que comes out on top(happy to be wrong) but it would be an interesting experiment in any case.

                I try to play at least one a day. Most frustrating thing for me is people quitting because they don't like the map. There are some people really bad about this.

                Personally, I generally do not like the really big maps, or the really small ones.

                      Last time I tried to play ladder I was slapped down on Canis River and the enemy com walked into my base minute 2:30.

                      5x5 maps existing means I'll probably never play ladder.

                          @snowy801 If you're 1200+ the chance you'll get a 5x5 map is literally zero
