I've looked at some people's season 5 replays and it's obvious which maps they don't like as they'll miraculously have ZERO P1 appearances on some maps. That's ridiculous.

Weird that you're so heavily weighted towards P2 games, because I'm almost perfectly balanced between P1/P2 starts over my last several hundred games.

The balance between P1/P2 games depends on how many games you start at once. If you only start one at a time, you'll probably be P2. If you start many at once, you're more likely to be P1.

A player having zero P1 matches on a map is not extremely unusual. I only have 117 replays on OSN, about 30 of which are prior to S5. Assuming a 50/50 breakdown of P1/P2, that would be about 45 P1 replays. So for any given map, there is about a 1-(11/12)^45=2% chance that I have no P1 matches on it. That means that there is a little less than 12*2%=24% chance that I have no P1 matches on any given map, which is pretty large. So just because someone has no P1 replays on a map doesn't mean that it was intentional.

When that same person has 30+ P1 starts on a map and 0 on another, you can't argue that's not intentional.

well, it depends. How many total games did said player have in all? Coincidences are more likely than one would expect.

RIP, these forums
