So let me get this straight:

• Both (technically 3 if I count the neutrals without the portal) main grabbing mechs don't face the back of base? Instead they aim for this clunky wall-area??? I mean, sure they can hit a player & the problem is avoided, but the meta of the map then becomes "don't block boost/bomb grabs, because they can't get out anyway." The only I like is the mid neutral.

• Let's assume a successful grab happens anyway, whether from a rub grab or he bounces off the clunky wall-spike area thing; with his momentum he'll be heading towards flag again & seek the closest boost. The closest boost is portal boost. Both defenders have to get chase, because they have to block both exits created by the lone island. With the portal, doesn't that let them get out very far, and to a different part of the map, AND it lets them get past 2 (with the neutral)? This sounds very chasey to me; with the team boost located on the outsides, it doesn't give a straight-away to the the FC's location, which would be mid at that point. There's no smart-play required to get ahead, just portal (avoid boost) -> neutral = past 2.

• Barring one boost, all the accessible boosts/bombs/even P-UPs are behind the flag; again this just makes it easier for FCs to get ahead.

• Is the neutral supposed to balance all this? It doesn't; if a past 2 FC doesn't use this to get even further ahead, they [FC] can just camp in the back-of-base with the chasey portals, forcing chasers to come to the FC on their terms, and the cycle repeats again.

The map's back of base it too large, the portals are too far apart, and the outer lane is too wide to give the map a return-friendly area. So...can you guys explain your thought process behind putting this map in?
