I'm sorry, but no. That's admitting that a map favors a particular team but just saying "that's okay". You do raise an important concern though, it's very hard to balance a map around all match-ups. This is why I'm very worried about a potential 5th team when it's already difficult enough dealing with 4.

My shark was scrambled and hit my base that often. What I suggest for Peeaboo is moving spawn space a bit closer to the centre of the base.

Yes, BS is not really overpowered on this map; however, when you have SvS, it can turn out to be a "drawn" match when both players spawn multiple BSs.

If any maps should be removed, I think it should be Peekaboo and Thorn Gulley. Not because I suck at them (I suck at Glitch, but the stage is fine), but because they waaay promote turtling. I love the Scallywag stages and also Foundry, so I'd be sorry if they got taken out.

You think only Adorables use snipers on SFI?

Bramble is useless on SFI in my experience, but I could just be an ignorant Adorables player, maybe a pro Vegg could show me the light.

I've spent a lot of time with veggies and even in the light of the so called "buff" for veggies I don't think they are viable at high level play vs adorables or scallywags on any map except Acrospire.


I'm leaning towards the camp of keeping all the levels as they all play different from each other. I'd rather see some imbalances fixed on a few.

Yes, your bramble has been quite a nuisance on Acrospire.

It seems to me that the meta game has dealt with turtling on its own. I don't really see it much and, if I do, it's my own fault.

I voted to remove
SFI and Peekaboo but these are clear choices
My third vote goes to Thorn Gulley, I'm surprised there aren't more votes to remove it, it heavily favors Mobi more than Reaper even! and the gaps in the middle also favor Scallywags.

I would be more involved in league again if these terrible maps were removed without worrying about team balance anymore.

Long9, Sweetie Plains, and Foundry are all balanced and fun maps for me, which I feel that all the special units are balanced on.

There isn't really a metagame in this, the teams would have to be more rock paper scizzors for it to reflect it. Instead it's just each team having quantifiably small advantages over each other

Isn't blitz beach a 2v2 map though? I thought they were only removing a 1v1 map.
