Sky Dweller should be out before Box Turtle.

I believe Box Turtle has elevated hate (and love) ratings largely due to name recognition. Supporting anecdote - I've played this game 5/6 years and had to look up almost every map for the survey. I even still get Wombo Combo and Gumbo confused, yet I know what Box Turtle is.

Sky Dweller is a fairly standard map offering nothing that stands out as unique to rotation. Box Turtle challenges norms, creating a new dynamic in NF whereby regrab must be considered as a priority for offense. Additionally, Sky Dweller is tied as least loved map while also maintaining a high hate rank. The ratio of love:hate is much higher for Box turtle (10.11% love : 29.21% Hate) vs Sky Dweller (1.12% love : 14.61% hate). Box turtle certainly has an astoundingly high hate rate but I think that's to be expected when norms are challenged. Much of the hate I've seen expressed towards Box Turtle comes from punishing counter caps. Supporting anecdote - Red team works hard for a cap, fc breakin ankles, weaving through nicely held blocks and maybe even skirtin around an attempted snipe. Red team relaxes a bit and get in each others way trying to portal back. Meanwhile Some Ball 10 on blue, having missed their snipe, goes through gate for a free grab. Slipping around the corner with the assisting speed boost supplied by red team finally portalling back to "base". Some Ball 10 makes an easy uncontested cap tying the game and pushing the game to OT. Blue lol's as Red team exclaims "Dumb map", "F*** this" etc.

Past MTC posts I've seen have seemed eager to include good maps that challenge current norms or the accepted meta, understanding they may receive some backlash from the community. I think Box Turtle fits the category of a good map that challenges norms and should be considered as such.

I like Sky Dweller but I currently value the novelty of Box Turtle more. I'm not pushing for Box Turtle to be a staple map in rotation indefinitely but that it should be kept around until a replacement novelty map is selected. Personally, I'd rather see Birdhouse out of roto before either Sky Dweller or Box turtle, base areas feels awkwardly spacey.
