Which Maps to Retire?

I guess it's hard to balance that many maps, but I think the OMC has demonstrated that there are a wealth of great ideas out there. Why not add more maps and let us play on them! I am more interested in adding new maps than removing current maps, even the broken(ish) ones.

Because we aren't removing them, just from league. 50 league maps would be terrible. As I said above*, I'd rather see matchups and general strategy evolve to a high level on ~8 maps in league than 50 maps where no one really knows what they are doing until a year later. But then by that time since we just keep adding maps there are 100 maps!

I think it's great to have 50 maps to choose from for tournaments and friendlies, but in league it's better to have a relatively small number for players to really focus on.

I agree that this would be preferable. Though I would prioritize maps with bad matchups (like 70-30 in favor of a particular team) than P1 vs P2 since I think that this is relatively small now. It would also be nice to just fix some of the maps that have problems in matchup or game pace instead of necessarily removing them.
