-Night is awful, because you can't see shit.
-Dawn is just night by another name, since every map is a valley whose cliffs block the sun.
-Rain is shit because in addition to blinding you,
it reduces everybody's combat effectiveness because "fuck you."-Fog is shit because you can't see a damn thing, much less the archer with a no-fog "mod" (read: cheat) that just headshot you.
What do all of these weather modes have in common? They cast everything in an emo-gray pall of of monotony and eye strain.
"Hey look, that dull gray shape set against a dull gray background is feinting a dull gray object at me. I'd better lean in and squint so I can position my own dull gray weapon for a proper block!
...
Fuck this, I can't see shit. I'm gonna go do something more fun and less painful like chop an entire bag of onions!"Rant over.
---------------------
As it stands, dark-shitty-emo weather is the norm for any given map.
A bright, clear, "high noon" map where you can actually see what's happening is quite rare.
This should be reversed.
The "random" weather percentages need to be fiddled with so that sunny-and-clear is far and away the most common weather type, occasionally punctuated by snow, dark, fog, etc. (hell even the orange fart weather is nice every now and then!).
I have included a suitably dark version of this post for those of you who enjoy night maps:
