Replace A Varied World with Geoguessr Saturday in the comp rotation
bagaboiebailey
A varied world is set to be the comp map for NM duels for the next 5 weeks, but already, even after just one week, the heavy use of pano ID to older coverage (especially gen 3) and the insane bait lokes and the much-too-easy multis builders rounds all make it so that this map is not adequately suitable for a competitive no moving map.
Competitive rating should be determined by your recognition of landscapes and regional clues in the newest coverage available, it should not be you having to learn hundreds of specific baity locations and repeats. A varied world only really works for casual play, for competitive it's simply not a fair experience.
Geoguessr Saturday is an arbitrarily generated map rather than handpicked, so unlike AVW it relies much less on knowing bait coverage and more on the player's actual skill and vibes. It is also fully updated much more regularly than AVW is. Much of AVW pano ID is years out of date, while JHK adds a completely new set of 80-100k locations to geoguessr Saturday every couple weeks.
If possible it would also be nice if you would make this NM map change in the next week or two, because 5 weeks of AVW in competitive is just not enjoyable for the majority of champion division players, especially those who had plans to go on summer break elo grinds now having to wait until August 10th to actually start.

AVW is almost universally hated as a ranked map, it was a really baffling decision from the devs to choose it. They must be aware of how the community feels about it, the last time it was the ranked map there were celebrations when it finally ended and this time the reaction was overwhelmingly negative when it was announced. I really don't understand their thought process here.
