Yes, it is. Again, just because one section of a map might favor some strategies over others, doesn't mean the map is unbalanced. There is more to a map than just mid. For example, checkpoints on palaistra disfavor ranged attackers because of the substantial amount of LOS near the checkpoint.

Yet you and others are acting as though Palaistra is the only balanced, proper map. Similarly, the mid section of Palaistra is wide open with absolutely no LOS blockers whatsoever, which heavily favors ranged. Yet, again, you hold that map up as being the only "good" map.

So which is it? Is it a garbage map that favors ranged and melee at the same time, or is it a great map that's better than the other two because it's well balanced?
