I should start this by saying I'm part of the group of players that actually likes reckoner

I don't think many are surprised, but Phi stopped mapping altogether.
She probably did quite a while ago. It was never a secret she'd become frustrated w mapping/the community.
I just hadn't seen anything official about it yet. Maybe that's been on her steam profile for like a year already. idk

Along with the request for others to not continue editing her maps, which I believe should be honoured, maybe it's time to retire reckoner from any future map pools.

The cap zone on last (a small oversight w big consequences) and this slope bug, a major issue, will not be fixed. If someone does make a fix (against Phi's wishes) I don't think it should be accepted in a league on principle

Also adding to this is ETF2L's recent map pool change with reckoner + clearcut being replaced by granary + product for the upcoming season. It simply is not popular enough in public opinion compared to its alternatives

Currently Sunshine has no major issues and I think it has become a generally accepted map. Phi does not seem to have any issues with her maps being played? So I see no reason to retire all of Phi's maps. Just Reckoner due to its current flaws not being fixed in the future

Obviously this decision lies with each league's admins. Idk if this is even worth discussing, but I just wanted to bring it up.

I think wiethoofd (or someone else at kk) made those as part of their casting config. Probably not from a public crosshair pack? Though you can always ask them if there is a public link

If not, your main options are junnu's pack or some I made here

Pubs are definitely good practise for getting the muscle memory.
Obviously 6s is good 6s practise, but the issue is you get the opportunity to go for shots and angles way less.

Practising in 6s (scrims) to me is more about thinking if sniping right then is the right decision/if the way I position is correct. The right opportunities will come up more as you learn to make the right calls. I basically ask myself "should I snipe right now or a different offclass/scout?" every time I want to switch to it. Sometimes I decide to do it anyway against my judgement and it stills works out. So it's more about learning than kicking yourself when it doesn't go right. Also in pugs/mixes nothing matters so snipe your heart out lmao

Aim trainers aren't as good as people claim, but they're better than nothing if pubs aren't your thing. Avoid if you have better options (aka most options)

HL isn't as good as pubs imo (if your intention is to get better at 6s) because you're always thinking about spies, getting spammed w detonator, perma counter sniping, etc. In pubs, like 6s, you don't have to think about these things as much (because the players are worse. not because they're not there) and you can just chill and find out which angles work, but without the pressure of having to actually hit the shot

I do not. Maybe vouri knows. Though idk if this effect is an accidental thing or them purposefully deleting something
