Remember, this was the group queue, not the solo queue.
Actually, on River City map, both sides would have nascar'd to the left, not the right. The upper east team would have headed towards G5/G6 at the citadel with the faster mechs crossing the water long G-line, but team that usually gets cap'd is the west team. They take the left side, always heading up to and into the upper city block section at D4 then across the bridge/water, generally with little regard to where the other team MIGHT be, or even when informed most keep going.
By then the east team has at least one on the cap, and if the others kept moving towards the cap instead of stopping to setup camp, they the shortest route, especially if the west team had a light start capping the other base. Unfortunately the west team has the longest route, technically they abandoned their base as they travel AWAY from the initial engagement area (citadel).
I am sure many have seen it on the Canyon map too. It is like both teams circle each other instead of blocking each other. The south base is generally the one capped majority of the time.
I really would like to see PGI stats for the maps on assault drops. The percentage for each map on which caps it captured the most as well as overall percentage to the drops made on the maps.
