Please remove - Ancient Battlefield map

It's anticlimatic, pure ignorance win here.
If you don't want delete it because is newbie friendly, at least allow a "veto" (thumbs down) mechanics that allow someone to remove just 1 map from the map pool.

Thanks.

personally i like the map. I agree it is somewhat frustrating vs wolven as they can basically be ANYWHERE they want on the map in 1 turn but in my opinion it provides quick fun matches where the early positioning is VERY important. Maybe increasing its size or adding some covers will make the map more fun. I think that for instance classes like Necro or mage suffer this map as they can basically be one shotted by an attack-stanced archer on the very first turn and there is nothing they can do to avoid that (which makes it frustrating as the match becomes suddenly much harder/easier).

There will be change about this soon.

This map was always intended as a newbie-friendly map, and we do intend to work on this asap.
We already set a longer timer on this map that you will see soon, and we'll probably also remove the Orders from it in the next patch...
And, most important of all, we intend to remove it from matchmaking after you earn the Renown Rank 3 or 4 (which comes pretty fast in our opinion).

The map would still be used for other things though, like friendly challenges or ... some other things that we cannot talk about right now, but not in high-level matchmaking anymore.

i think this is a good idea! :) i'd also like the possibility to avoid super elite units matchups until a certain reknown level. In order to have a chance to beat them as you need high level units.
