Because Reddit is a small percentage of the playerbase.
WitchPa1ace
Because it’s exactly the reason why everyone want it to be taken off from map pool like Dust 2 too?
Pyry132
That’s odd since Reddit is one hivemind that represents the entire playerbase
tech-mi
People want it off the pool BECAUSE it is the most played map.
nve729
Because reddit is an echochamber. That’s all…
Top-Lab3862
Because it’s a good map, and many (vocal) fans think it’s overplayed.
Remember that reddit is a small part of the playerbase and often it’s only the negative stuff people post.
bunchofsugar
Valve should not take Reddit into account while making decisions. Hiveminded games suck.
Also, Valve, bring TDM back pls.
Elronael
Boring to watch. Stale map.
Umbala3131
It just too balance, nothing to change so some ppl think it boring
ghettoflick
Cuz once Anubis/ Ancient / NewTrain are banned… there’s only 4 possible map choices.
Overpass good addition…
Tuscan, cache, cbble, season, Contra… when??!?
ImmediateCause7981
…that’s the reason it should be removed lmao. Thanks for proving the point for everyone
requinbite
Because the t side of this map is awful to play in pugs
basiliskka
In my opinion it’s overplayed, stale, and boring to watch in the pro scene. It would be cool to see some changes to it and bring in newer maps in its place
llTehEmeraldll
fwiw I don’t think anyone wants it out for good, but now that Valve is doing map pool changes every six months I don’t think one stint out would do the map any harm
Cool-Traffic-8357
Same as people here praise overpass to oblivion, yet nobody plays it. Reddit is a small minority.
Harucifer
Same reasons why dust2 was the most played in the past (before the rework): it’s a classic and it plays well, both in a technical (high fps) and gameplay aspect.
Reworking/removing mirage would cause a dip in the player-base for sure, which is what happened with dust2.
Finnishbeing
fuck mirage
Cero_Kurn
in my case, it’s because the map is so overplayed that i’m sick of it.
premier games are like 1 in 2 mirage. ridiculous for a 7 map pool
even worse in casual
G00CHASAURUS
I think this is exactly why so many people want it out of the map pool.
TheMinionGamer
Better at the devil you know than the one you don’t
sidk_xd
mirage is the only map my stack knows to play and we enjoy it (mostly because of the ingame banter xd)
Ogaito
Wow didnt expect to see Nuke above Anubis 🥀
National-Hedgehog-90
Because it’s one of the best FPS maps of all-time. Opportunity for in-depth team play but also solo performances, and easy to understand. Only unpopular on reddit because it’s been played out
MrJakdax
Because a decent chunk of players are tired that we have all these maps yet you queue faceit and get mirage 5 games in a row. This can get old really quick.
SeazonCSGO
Because reddit users are mostly clueless and under 10k elo
bkaccount
That’s specifically the biggest reason I want it removed. I think it’s a good map, but god it feels so fucking stale to me. I just want something different than nonstop Mirage/Dust II.
Advanzedgg-
>Mirage the most played map
Exactly
FudgingEgo
That’s why they need to take it off the map pool.
Because players won’t learn the other maps and instead just play Mirage and Dust and then it compounds and all the other maps just get banned more and more.
REDMOON2029
vocal minority
leighXcore
Because reddit inhakes Copium.
Ankirum
Because this map has been there for 12 years. It needs a visual update and taking a break from it wouldn’t be too bad
skunk42o
I will die on the hill of ‘ban mirage or me troll’ and I don’t care
grandpapi_yugi
Cuase reddit doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a place for people to complain majority of the time
Jaba01
It’s played by a lot of non-English speaking people and those generally aren’t on Reddit. Also the minority is usually the loudest, while people who enjoy the game just play.
Jamie5152
I want it out because it’s been in for 13 years and still looks the same as it did in 2013. Take it out for a season or two, then bring it back with a new coat of paint
greetedwithgoodbyes
Imo it needs to go out, not because it’s a bad map, but because we need a break from it. We’ve seen thousands of the same strat iterations over and over again.
It will also force the playerbase that are 100% Mirage/D2 to play something else and stop writting “GG I TROLL” every time they are not playing a sand map.
tbhno1
Redditors love to complain about the game rather than playing it
yolomcswagns
Stockholm syndrome lol
dannybates
Mirage has had like no changes since 2013. Been playing that map for 12 years and all thats changed is basically bench mid and car at b.
Xsniper133
You just answered your own Question
So many people dislike it because it’s extremly overplayed
Maeel_Javanar
Because the people here are not representative of the broader player base and no one said it needs to go because it’s unplayed but because it’s overplayed and suffers the same problem as dust 2. It’s a fine balanced map but it’s been the same forever and those of us who’ve been playing for 10+ years are just a bit sick of it. It’s the only map that has never been out of the pool.
I’m still hoping it goes in the next cycle for hopefully +cache (I bought in to whoever said +cache would be the best move to make the masses more okay with it)
Scatterer26
People who play mirage do not complain about it.
Franman98
You asked the question and posted the answer xD
Sufficient_Office649
Mirage is like ARAM in league of legends
Useless map everyone plays mid and its boring asf
Jr4D
I enjoy playing mirage but I believe it is good to rotate things in & out as well. It can be a popular map while people also wanting to see some new or returning maps
Lord777alt
Because it is overplayed. Also there’s pressure to not pick a “weird” map because your team, might flame you and throw
Big-Pound-5634
Because reddit is a bubble filled with lies and cope.
Edit: Oh btw, yoooo, fuck inferno out!
OkOrganization868
Why do people say Americans are poor when USA is the richest country in the world????
Helgurnaut
I’d argue Mirage and D2 are the most played because they are the maps that take the least brain power to play in pugs.
ologabro
I am not trying to play mirage simulator even if it is a decent map. Imagine wanting to play the same map for over 10 years straight lol that’s autistic
