defeature this garbage and lets be done with it

Well, it's cheesy and non-standard.

That being said, it's a considerably better map than Drab, Rapids and maybe Adamantine Mountian as well (at least Cliffs is both balanced and spelled correctly). I would defeature all of those maps first, and possibly also Cooper Hill. Also first defeature Isis Delta for 1v1 (keep it for teams).

I have had worthwhile games on this map. Dunno if I can say the same for Drab or Rapids.

Oh and Coastal. And Aquatic Divide. This is a better map than both of them too.

The problem IS the hill. Whoever takes it can just pork into their opponents base because their base is at the bottom of the hill.

Adamantine also has a hill that "can be porced on" but in practice noone does it, because it has no mexes.

My fix suggestion would be slight upscale (so that an Impaler in middle still has places it cannot bombard) and remove mexes from mid,
