[quote=&quot;Fastidious&quot;]I don&#039;t like map14 cause it&#039;s a stupid grind in a hall.&nbsp; I would say it does need a fix however in regards to the teleporter.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t happen often but whenever a flag runner can get the flag in there in a stand off it gets pretty stupid attacking into a teleport.&nbsp; If there was another way into that area it&#039;d be fixed and not lame.&nbsp; I&#039;d suggest either a switch to open the top gate by the flag or a hall way connecting to the spawn room.[/quote]<br /><br />In theory that sounds good, Fast, but you&#039;d basically change the entire map to add another switch that opens the gate, especially in the team&#039;s base. If someone is fast enough to open the gate, grab the flag and not die and get back in, or do so with assistance, that&#039;s a great play - not a problem in the map. Even further more, doing this would create a ton of stand-offs as assisted entrances into the gate area would no longer take place and a lot of teams would probably keep a guy near by to camp the room with the tele/gate, making it even worse. Regardless, it could still be overcome and all but it would totally change the dynamics of the map. The map wasn&#039;t made to be zdctfmap19, it was made to be exactly what it is - a grind map. In 3vs3, it&#039;s not that bad of a map. It&#039;s still a grind-fest but I&#039;d probably take it over a map like map18, which is so chaotic that it&#039;s almost impossible to commit anyone to a true position other than just &quot;play positions on the fly.&quot; It makes for great spectacle and I admire it but in terms of gameplay, it sucks because of it&#039;s chaotic nature. In 14, at least it comes down to who controls mid and finally picks off a defender on flag top. <br /><br />But yeah, I&#039;m totally with Ladna on this one. People who&#039;ve suggested IDL needs new maps or need to edit the current ones are incorrect. The IDL has done nothing but introduce various maps into it&#039;s map-pack and we&#039;ve either loved them and kept them or we&#039;ve hated them and ditched them forever (probably what will end up happening to map05 this season). It&#039;s really quite simple, the problem is and has been talent. When we have the appropriate amount of teams given the talent that&#039;s signed up, teams should be more balanced - assuming that we don&#039;t have Captains that aren&#039;t skilled enough to make an IDL team. <br /><br />And before any of you idiots chime in and say &quot;harahre just bc u not a good playa dont mean u a bad cap. for instintz, envy wuldnt hav been if not for an captainship bein given 2 him. it take ledership and responsobility 2 b cap,&quot; just shut up. Being a great player is the majority of it and considering most Master Bowl winning teams have had at least 2 great players, having 1 to start with before the draft even begins is a fantastic start. Responsibility? Yeah, it&#039;s not easy to determine availabilities always but regardless, everyone has to submit them so all the captain really does is forward it to the commish&#039;. Leadership? Truly, I admit, it can make a difference. Especially for an under-manned squad or a team right on the cusp of being really good. But I&#039;m sorry, two great players with a manageable 3rd will overcome the lack of &quot;leadership&quot; any day of the week. Those great players lead by example, not by what they say. And also, don&#039;t compare Envy to lesser captains in terms of skill - while Envy never had the greatest shot or quickest movement, he always played smart and overall was not too shabby. I&#039;d take him over the majority of the IDL 3rds currently in the league as well as 3rds in previous seasons (probably even a few 2nds on some squads). His ability to coordinate and pay attention to detail is a skill in and of itself. <br /><br />But that&#039;s about it in a nutshell, despite me being a tad bit off topic. Nonetheless, the problems with the IDL are what I&#039;ve said a thousand times before: talent and bad players as captains. When we fix that, the IDL will be fine. And I should point out that we&#039;re over-reacting, this is one bad season. Especially coming off of one of the best seasons we&#039;ve ever had, I would go out on a limb and just say &quot;hey, it was a bad season - it happens. It&#039;ll be better next season.&quot; Let&#039;s move on now.
