never said that Ravillion should be Insane 5* or Novice 1*, i do not pretend to know how to rate exactly the maps, i just want y'all to explain it (for Sketch) because regarding other Novice maps the rating does not seems in agreement with its hardness
I think that if u replace Ravillion's tp tiles by freeze, its rating would increase(edited)
20:05
that seems logical to me because u make the map harder, so the rating increase with hardness
20:08
I am not here to criticise, i am here to understand
20:09
i am sure that u have very good reasons to rate Novice 5* Sketch, i want to know what are those reasons regarding that Kobra is a 4* and way harder than Sketch(edited)
and players were a lot more skilled since back then ddrace was a mod of teeworlds, most players were familiar with teeworlds physics from playing vanilla game modes

so they already knew how hooks worked and had decent movement skills

however when ddnet released on steam ppl started playing ddnet off the bat, so they had no prior knowledge so seemingly "Easy" maps like kobra were actually really hard and took hours to finish
20:11
sketch requires u to know how the hook works, theres a lot of parts where u have to think about how the hook will drag tees in the correct place and how you can use hammer as well
20:12
so making it novice 1-3 would not make sense as a beginner would not understand the parts off the bat
Definitely not.
Maps need a rerate but old maps that were rated by the skill level back in their time shouldnt be rated down, it makes no sense because the maps dont get easier, onle the players get better
Introduction isn't Novice 2* by modern standards btw
21:07
you need to be able to throw and do serious ddmax parts
