    They do this in every game that has a competitive scene. It’s done as a means of eliminating random chance being the factor for a victory or defeat. Does that make it less fun? Depends on who you ask.

    If you ask me, yes. But then I don’t play competitively.

        Rocket League

        They removed non-standard areas first from competitive queue and then from Standard as well. And then they stopped offering the rocketlabs Gamemode for non-standard Maps.

          It took me all of 10 seconds to find the rocket league list of competitive maps, and it’s about 16x the field of “competitive smash”

            I play rocket League and i can tell you that they are all the exact same shape and size. They just have different colours and environments around them.

            There used to be non standard maps in competitive, some of them were oval, or otherwise differently shaped. See here: https://liquipedia.net/rocketleague/Category:Non-Standard_Maps

            If Smash Maps were all the exact same shape with different textures your point would be valid.
