maps

That's true that complaints about the map rotation never seem to end. The developers really need to clarify their intentions to the player base once more—if the reasoning is solid, people will be more likely to understand.

To me, a good competitive map is one that allows for a wide variety of strategies and tactics, but I can also understand the perspective of wanting each map to have its own distinct identity. However, restricting player options just to force map identity is putting the cart before the horse. Rather than limiting choices through map design itself, the contraction of options should naturally happen through player interactions and tactical mind games. 

I definitely agree that there is room for improvement in both map design and the drop system.
