Canyon and Plexus are only as much of a problem as you make it. As much as map designs enable them, NASCAR is almost entirely a problem created by the player base. There is a large set of players who simply refuse to play any other way. The match starts, they glue their W and A key into the keyboard and it's off the races. And then there's the sheeple who have the follow the guy ahead of them regardless of the merit of the guy ahead of them, and the spin begins. And as much as the people at the back of the race scream "STOP ROTATING!", somehow it never occurred to these slow pokes to never start rotating to begin with. If you can't keep up, post up on a good spot, keep your strikes handy, and blast the first nascar yoloer that comes your way. If you play a longer ranged build, you have more opportunity to do damage before the nascar yoloers get to you. If you have a friend or two, you can focus fire and make the job that much quicker. You can always play however you like, and you can even outperform your entire team, or even both teams, all on your lonesome if you stick to your guns, but if you choose to reap the whirlwind then you get what you deserve.
True of Canyon, not of Plexus. The same thing happens in every Plexus game that isn't conquest, and I don't mean NASCAR. On Grim Plexus, EVERYTHING is about that damn hill with the buildings on it. It's all about taking that hill, nothing else matters. And unlike other maps, that goes not just for domination, but skirmish too. Canyon may gravitate toward the middle; a lot of maps do. But I can't think of a skirmish on Plexus that I've ever seen where a fight is decided anywhere else on the map. The heaviest thing I've seen in a fight outside of the hill on Plexus was 55 tons.
Again conquest not withstanding of course. I don't mine Plexus conquest. I don't think there's any map I hate on conquest.
