Skull Town is the best Arenas Map
Every other Arena map is symmetrical and the tactics feel so repetitive. You each hold aside and then poke until the ring closes. The fight areas of those maps usually end up being in the same place, because if you get caught out of position you just get sniped.
With Skulltown, I've experienced minimal poking. Close quarters combat is more prevalent as there is so much cover to play around with. I can kill one guy and be low on health and just run into one of the many small buildings in Skulltown and roam around and heal. Whereas in other maps, I would've just got killed by my enemy's teammates more often as there is less cover. Essentially with Skulltown, there are more ways to outplay your enemies.
I've had fights in so many different parts of the Skulltown map because people can scatter around once they are low through the many buildings. This is so much better than fighting in the same spot in every other arena map.
Yea the Map might be a bit advantageous to one side, but I'm honestly tired of the symmetrical maps which promote a very stale and repetitive approach to combat. I hope more maps like Skulltown are made.
As for the complaints of people getting to height first winning, I haven't experienced that much. When that happens, my team usually grabs most of the materials, and then we have better weapons and grenades next round.
Skull town may not be the best-balanced arena map, but it's the most fun Arena map. The main reason being the other arena maps are just Run to spot A, grab stuff, shoot at the enemy in Spot B. Rinse. Repeat. Skulltown, however, promotes much more diverse and frenetic combat and tactics.
