I really don’t understand the “it’s too big” sentiment, it’s actually pretty small compared to other maps.

this one is nothing to do with D1

quite a lot of the D1 players, myself included, rather enjoy yukon

Yukon is best played with gunboats imo.

its not much bigger than blands tbh. but blands has a very confined mid point, despite its size. and all the fighting is done within a close range of the point. the layout of mid also uses space wisely and creates several dueling zones and chokepoints where trying to escape a battle can become just as dangerous.

on the other hand yukon is about the same size but its layout is not good. the point where you enter mid (next to the point) gives you no view of the enemy. and the entrance from the back of the point is at long distance. reducing soldier effectiveness.

also the fact that the point is on low ground rather than high means that early capping is more difficult to control because you have no easy hight advantage from what should be a position of power in the map.

the general open nature of the point means its difficult to spam effectively or get close to the enemy on a flank undetected. all of this contributes to the map being quite slow paced brown and boring.

i think maps where opposing teams are always kept within close distance of each other and in confined mini arenas makes for better gameplay. it creates
definite spam zones.
obvious positional advantages
better flanks.
