Why do you think Silence map got so depopularised ?

Hello everyone, this is an open subject to undersant better the sad phenomenon of the slow diseaperance of the Silence map and what we could do in order to bring back its popularity.

Is silence a good map? Every time I've played it, I feel that there are so many maps that are just better

Back to many reasons... First no this map haven't get depolarized, if you went to Pro-Battles, you will see this map very common especially (and maybe only) in Parkour mode..

But in MM, we have 35 maps in a poll.. and every time you enter a battle they give you a random map, so Silence percentage to appear is just 1/35.. also in MM they ruined Silence too much like the most maps.

Also for new players, maybe they haven't seen that popularity and honor of such a map.. as the game now is strictly in MM

Silence Parkour Space Mode is THE map if you wanna chill or kill... (unfortunately, parkour is very rare, as the 'kill' factor is more appealing).

And you'll find at least 3 Silence Parkour Space Mode battles in the Pro battle list...

So yeah, it's very popular.

Introduction of Matchmaking made it impossible to choose specific maps to battle on. Generally there are 33 maps in the MM-system and as the pool is randomized, maps such as Silence occur less often. 
In PRO-battles you can still find plenty of space-themed Silence parkour-battles, but since popularity of PRO-battles has declined many maps got depopularized. 

To be honest, I don't really care all that much about Silence . it used to be one of my favorite maps in the game, but looking back to it was heavily overrated: in early years the entire battlelist would consist of mainly Silence-battles, other maps rarely had a chance to shine

Pro battles are dead.

The present Silence map is not exactly the old (popular) one. The old Silence was simple, slightly unbalanced and that was the beauty of it. Then devs decided to 'improve' it. Now I think it has more commonalities with the Future than the old Silence.

I dont understand this topic. What about good forgotten maps like Opposition, Skylark, Subway, Old Madness, Novel and Gravity? We used to play these maps so often right before Matchmaking came.

 

Edit: Many more good maps to be listed. Ones I listed above are what people I know personally and myself like in game.

Silence is like the most popular PRO-Battle map, next to Polygon and Sandbox.

Silence is an awesome map, it used to be my favorite back in the day, especially because of the gold boxes.

[Skillwind 15]

You're all right about its popularity. But what I meant was : "we don't see any (not parkour) Silence maps in Pro Battle anymore. And all like Spy said, Silence was defintly my favorite map, every aspect of it were delightfull ! btw : I miss moon silence

No theyre not. Especially in high rranks there are quite a lot of players. Players who seek more teamwork (and fun memorial battles) play here. Besides, way more people complain bout MM than PRO(no doubts why ofc)  ; )

It's a combination of many things, such as the introduction of MM and changes made to turrets and hulls over the years

Is that so, maybe because there is more MM players  or because it is always the same group that complains over and over again

At a certain time, there's one or two Silence battles in the map. Almost always. Sadly though, only in high ranked battles.

Or they were too many silence maps created in the first place. lIke too many polygon map too, it was an overdose of it. MM offers more choice of map and battle mode, but the drawback it he fixed number of players.

 there're more MM players than in PRO no doubt. But most players have played PRO battles and have some sort of experience with them. The only reason most people play MM are for the rewards and bonuses there and fullest support given by devs to play MM.

for a reason - MM has many downsides. Besides there are so many other players not in the forum who play MM just for the missions and come back to play PRO.
