Should Scramblers get a buff?

I do like Szei's suggestion though of allowing a player to ban a few maps (maybe just 1 or 2). This would allow feedback to ban certain maps which are clearly unfavorable to them.

The only bad side is that certain maps (Reaper, anyone?) would never get played, but if that's what ends up happening, that probably indicates that those maps are broken or not fun anyways, right?

I feel the threat of a scrambler popping out of a spawn is great enough. I wouldn't be able to sleep if it was made even easier.

The board veto idea is nice, has anyone said "but rather difficult to implement" yet? As an alternative perhaps giving P2 knowledge of the race and map they'll be up against when starting a game may help (with FTA as well?) but I'm sure it would be difficult to implement. There, someone's said it.
