Oh scron, you simply don't get it as it seems.
Noone here removes a mode because the mode could be harder or easier, everyone here is winning and loosing games.
Maybe you would notice that the removal of the high bounty mode doesn't mean, that we're changing nothing concerning Normal and other modes.
You simply seem to ask for a "hb" mode without caring what's included. We're working the other way 'round, we improve the already balanced (balance concerning gameplay) modes in order to keep also the positive aspects of "high bounty". But sadly, a few people people, just as you, are "working" very deconstructive.
How's about being helpful and working to get your reasons why you practically love "high bounty" kept in BT instead of trying to get something worse back to somekind of existence?

Well don't ask me why there are dedicated HB bots on bnet now lol.
HB still fills faster.
The debate of the balance of HB isn't an issue. It is not unbalanced as people think it is.
The claims made have no substance whatsoever 90% of the time. About all you can say
is that it made for other strategies to work. This doesn't mean that old ones can't work.
Honestly the removal of HB was because you know that the average noob on bent could
give 2 shits about regular mode. This is why it was removed. Whatever, old maps exist
and that's your problem now.
Let's keep this aspect of gameplay simple and to the point: More gold to spend = more fun.
People don't care about the intricacies of normal mode because it takes too long and if you
don't play right, it becomes even more pointless to play because of the learning curve.
HB's curve is balanced more nicely because you can't get boxxed into not having gold as
easily. The edge loss you complain about is the balance that noobs likely want/need.
So what exactly is the motivation behind removing HB? Well you CLAIM it's not balanced.
But many people prefer to play it rather than normal mode. So let's balance the mode less people
play. Call me as "Destructive" as you like, but the actions of removing HB are just that.
I'm not even arguing because I like HB. I really could care less about it... pro mode is all that
is hosted now it's just the fact that you deny a fair chunk of the bnet population what they want by
completely removing it. I really think removing it was not the correct answer. It was a selfish
act to remove HB to cause normal mode games to fill up faster, which seems to be the real
motivation.

That may be the case for Azeroth but not entirely the other servers.
Going long range in mid takes no skill, so stop telling yourselves otherwise.

Very interesting numbers, but is there anyway to show how many bot use one version over the other? Because you can have 10 bots hosting .67d and only 1 hosting .65, so of course .67d will for a for a fact have more hosted games.
I have a very hard time finding .65 anymore so 90% of the time we don't use a bot, so i or someone i know will just host it.
Oh, Death, оh Death, oh Death,
No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
Oh, Death,
Well I am Death, none can excel,
I'll open the door to heaven or hell.
Oh, Death, оh Death,
my name is Death and the end ïs here...
