Opinions wanted. Rate maps from your fav. to worst.

xXrobotrippinXx  you are asking an impossible question for me.  I like all maps and hate all maps, I cannot number them in an order.  

and I think the question should also include the game mode.  

for example, I do agree with what you said about the Moon map - I love it in DM but hate in BR, especially when red and blue decided to exchange their home beacons and that just became fixed.   this one particular map allows much more dynamic battles in DM mode than BR.  

other than that, all I can say is that I don't particularly hate SF or Yam as some others seem to do.  to me I equally like and hate these maps as others.  

sorry for not being helpful :/

Don't have favorites or orders, just have maps I like and maps I don't.

Shen, yama, canyon, spring are 「dookie」.

Dc, moon, pp, valley are decent.

yamantau is the worst map ever in the whole universe.

Anyway for those who hate long range maps if find it having a gekko bot or two for sniping and screwing makes it not too bad.

hehehe its actually my favorite map. and I dont care if I'm sniping, or knifing.

thats probably why they made the leaver queue. so many different tastes.

And as if getting your Lance stuck is bad enough, wait till you get stuck between those darn slopes in a firefight and a Fujin blocks every path of you....  em' legs! Wanna steam those crab legs for dinner!

I hate Springfield most.
2nd hated by me is Shenzen.

The rest are ok.

No offense but this kind of ranking doesn't make any sense, as how you like a map depends also on the league you're playing in. You exemplary stated that you don't like Moon very much due to being overcrowed with rockets. This might be true for you but not for other players: I very seldom encounter a hydra bot on Moon. 

So given your league level I'd also say "Damn, I can't stand another round playing Moon" and at my level I say "Bring them on for some nice intimate knife-fighting". 

My issue with maps comes down to my random blue buddies and how much opportunity the map gives them for random 「fluffernutter」tart behaviour:

1) Dead City – Blues generally walk forward and kill reds, usually can’t help but get beacons on the way. Obviously there are exceptions, he odd camper, the odd guys who looks like he is getting the side beacon but wanders off somewhere. But in general most blues general behaviours is aligned.
2) Valley – Kind of the same as DC. Blues only have so much scope for daftness.
3) Moon – Generally ok, blues can only go two ways, campers generally don’t bother. Some risk of no one bothering with the home beacons, but all manageable. Except for the guy with the Hydra’s, ruins it for everyone.
4)Shenzhen – Can lead to moderate moron level behaviour and chronic hiding. But can be quite good if blue what to win.
5) Power Plant – Can be good depending on the spawn point. But some of the spawn points give my blue buddies an equal look at 3 beacons, so my team can fragment with everyone heading a different direction to a lonely death.
6)Canyon – Can lead to sever camperism and centre beacon abandonment. With the right level of good support can be really good. Just need to be ready to fill the roll needed on the team. Once your willing and able to do the job that needs doing.
6)Yamantau – Everyone knows what to do on this one. Only question is whether my blue buddies are going to help me do it or sit back and watch scoring easy damage off the reds who are mecking me out. I have had some very frustrating moments, all alone at the bottom of CB ramp, looking back at all my blue ‘support’.
8)Springfield – A cause for quite a bit of aggravation. You really have to cover two sides. Depending on spawn point randoms tend to move on mass in one direction leaving the other unresourced. Usually realise this mistake and then move on mass back again, just always seams to have too many blues in the wrong place. Someone always ‘forgets’ a beacon.

Going in order from most to least favorite
1) Yamantau. Hands down my favorite map.
2)Moon. I like the close fighting, I like the symmetry of the map, it's the same on both sides, really.
3)Canyon. Plenty of cover on the outskirts, and just fun overall.
4)SPringfield
5)Dead City
6)Shenzhen
7)Valley
8) Power Plant.

I see what most of you guys are saying about it being difficult to answer and it being situational. I guess I should have made it more clear not to read in to it too much.

Just try to make a list or note which maps you like and don't like, at this time, given your league. I also noted if you guys want to 2 lists, 1 for BR one for Dom, then go for it.

My order of maps hasnt always been the same either. But there are still some consistencies. For example, No matter what league I'm in, I'll probably never really care for Shenzhen. I'll probably always love DC & Canyon. Valley is still subject to change from my #2 since it's so new.

I'm mostly basing whether I like a map on its topography, so if I really love it's topography, I'll probably always like the map. I know I said I didn't like Moon because of "homing missles". In reality I don't like how easy it is for players to hit others on opposite sides of the walls, and practically from one end of the map to the other, with homing missles... due to its topography.






Haha?

It doesn't have to be.

Yes. Me.

1. Moon
2. Valley
3. Shenzen
4. Canyon
5. Yam
6. DC
7. PP
8. Springfield

Most I'm gonna write. Hahaha

Most of my choices are based on my favorite tactics: Move "fast", hit hard, displace. A few months ago my favorite 'Bot was a Tri/Fury, but the long range game with low mobility got old, but now I like trying to predict the red's movement and plans and then just trying to outmaneuver them. Here are my personal favorites...

1) Dead City - I like being able to evade reds long enough, while hitting them now and again, and having a teammate sneak up on them. Both available cover and lots of different elevations contributes to this. The buildings make excellent opportunity for me to use my run and gun strategy.
2) Canyon - Used to be my favorite, is still up there, though. The occasional points of cover are nice and allows you to move up slowly, but deliberately on your target. Slightly annoying with regards to the extreme side beacons as far as snipers, but you can still make your way to them if they are making a difference with the score.
3) Powerplant - Again, cover and elevation changes. I like being able to move around and I love it when someone jumps on the powerplant for elevated sniping because they're an easy target. The only downside for me is that I don't like the placement of the two beacons by the cargo ship since they tend to be both controlled by the same team.
4) Valley - I love the size of the map. Smaller, that is. Lots of cover, openings, elevation changes. There's something for pretty much everyone. This could move up higher or even lower as I play it more.
5) Moon - A lot of room for strategy on this map, but a lot of open space to be hit with a bombardment or rockets. I think my favorite part of this map revolves around how quickly and often ownership of the beacons changes during the course of the game.
6) Shenzhen - A good amount of cover, but unless you're playing Beacon Rush, it's a long walk around. I don't like that the center beacon is so wide open.
7) Springfield - Love the building side, hate the wide open farm side. As I use mostly short range 'Bots with maybe a medium range or two, I tend to get torn up making my way on the farm side.
8) Yamantau - With a passion I hate Yamantau. That center beacon with cover is the primary reason. Getting it and holding it for the whole game is likely if you work as a team, but it's not guaranteed. Getting across the map to try and capture the red beacons is also quite hard due to so much open space. You almost have to get lucky and hope that no one notices you.

right now i despise Valley
reason 1: have yet to not have a late drop always 10sec to almost a minute (makes BR redundant to play for me)
reason 2: always dropped into a empty after match is done. Always. (sent pix a ticket got generic reply back, ie: we are aware of problem)
reason 3: seems like half of all shots go through all obstacles both cool and annoying depending on if you are doing the shooting or the receiving

other than that don't really care what map i play (unless i get a particular map 3 or more times in a row)
