are we saying 100% or clsoe to it balanced,

because if thats what we're going on, maps like.

Dry heat, Lake blitzen, LBL, the alamao etc,


would all be removed

those maps dont have BIG disadvantages, but they do have them.


especially TR vs BL on blitzen,

so when i ask are we looking for balance, where do you draw the line?

cuz technically there isnt a map thats 100% percent balanced.

Hidden Valley is balanced because both sides postitions are exactly the same (except reversed). So it means same resources and tech buildings are available to borth players. Offense Defence is another example of a balanced map. Aren't these to maps up for removal from YR qm?

I like matchups vs. sovs and allieds as Yuri on this map.

There's always engi eat and it makes it tough and the deso miners and also paradropping derricks etc. Makes it fun, it's an end to end map imo.

the answer to that question is quite obvious considering the amount of perfectly balanced maps isn't it?

There are no balanced maps. Each one is slightly advantaged to certain positions and factions. Tourny A, B, DP, BF, HL, Off Def, FD, and HV are the closest. Honestly we need to just ignore the imbalance, it only matters in very close games and should be evened out over time anyway.
