I will say that the Negotiator is more prolific in many cases than apparent than @Greek_Jedi_Knight is seeing. My GAC round this time has 7 of the 8 players with Negotiator, 6 of them at 6 star. My personal shard has Negotiators well below rank 50, and currently we usually have 40-42 in the top 50, with the remainder being Home One fleets (and several players who alternate between Negotiator and Home one), and a cursory inspection of the fleet Meta report on swgoh.gg (link here)
https://swgoh.gg/stats/fleet-meta-report/
Shows that 58% of #1 fleets are now Negotiator, so the evidence is more than anecdotal.
In regards to the GAC map layout, remember that this is but one of several map layouts that we have seen before in early GA’s, this one is (perhaps by design) weighted slightly more towards characters than ships by having the fleet node in the back. There is also a map that has only 2 territories. One with a fleet, and one with all the character slots $ that is much more of a play orientated map, as there is no concealment strategy at all, simply who can be the most efficient attacker. There is no reason to assume that we won’t be seeing this map in a future GAC, as we know that they plan to continue to alternate playing styles (they have also declared the intent to re-introduce the 3v3 format, so it is reasonable to assume the map formats will alternate as well.
Ships will have their moment to shine as well, we must but be patient.
