Which Maps to Retire?

Quote: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.

+1 +1 +1! That would make me actually want to play sweetie plains! It's a complete nightmare of a map with terrible FTA in terms of spawning units. Also there is no leeway for varied play at all. That sniper has to survive no matter what, it's the only thing giving you advantage and the sides are much more attractive to attack than through the middle.

Quote:Kind of random, but is the reaper rush still a problem? I don't use the rush anymore because I figure/have found that people generally know how to defend against it. Additionally, I pretty much always successfully defend the rush when I am P2 against adorables.

What you described is actually the underlying problem of the reaper rush, the rock paper scizzors element of it. I'm assuming that everyone you play against moves their wit space runner twice to defend? If so you have a major FTA advantage that other races do not have as P1, starting your opponent off with 4 wits instead of 5.
