Which Maps to Retire?

On SI we need to remove the top hex to fix "the sniper hole" bug.
On Reaper this could be the fix for "the Mobi rush" problem (not shure though, need to test).

And this is the fix that I suggest for SP.
People who hate Sweetie Plains probably can't find the reason why they always lose the games on that map. There is a witspace on this map that you think it's yours. But it's not! Seriously, SP is the only map that has a witspace on equal distance from your spawn and your opponent's spawn. Check all other 1v1 and 2v2 maps out! Furthermore, you have an obstacle on your way to that witspace, while your opponent has a wide straight way which makes it easier for him to attack than for you to defend.
All STs know about that feature resulting in boring stupid fights for that one witspace. I suggest to move this witspace one hex closer to the base and remove one obstacle. Additionaly, it could be useful to get rid of some obstacles in the center of the map to ginger up fighting in that area.

On Sharkfood Island I agree either removing top hex or adding a block next to the base so that sniper cannot shoot there.

On Reaper I think it's its dominance that it's the map weak point, but I suggest moving a spawn space one space closer to the centre.

My opinion on Sweetie Plains, which is my most favourite map because I won 95% of the game on that map. According to the rule of Outwitters Math, that point is the weakest spot on the map. I think that makes SP different from others. It might be like the deadly channel on Foundry, but less frightful. In fact I think Sweetie Plains is the most balanced map since large, not too many or few obstacles and almost no FTA.

How about Peekaboo? No one talks about Peekaboo but to shoo it away! There should be some suggestions!
