Not my fav map, but not the most terrible map, either. What's your thinking here, Raja?

This is kind of the opposite of how I feel, and honestly this is my least favorite map currently on rotation. Its a spam fest, very difficult to defend which results in short games, and encourages very bad starts due to how the spawns are placed relative to the ball. It may not be the least appealing map, but in terms of game play definitely my least favorite.

It is the most terrible map currently in the rotation imo. And I believe some people agree with me. I want to see how many though.

Darkwar is a very different map compared to the others. It's very open map which makes whaling difficult (since you can be attacked from every side and there are hardly any choke points), makes loopy spam effective and makes players in open very vulnerable to high aim players.

The goal area does not have any cover or obstacles to thermo attackers to. The goal is mounted on the edge of the map on a vertical wall which opens up options for some creative passing. Fun fact, there are only 2 maps with the goal in such a location (edge of the map and mounted on a long vertical wall).

All of the obstacles have round surfaces that give very predictable bounces.

I wouldn't say it's a bad map, it just requires very different play style compared to more traditional maps (like roids or grotto).

That being said, it's pretty much ball_football with walls.
