I would have ranked HPG higher than Canyon or Polar to get a rework. Absolutely one of the worst maps in the game.

Too be fair, i find brawling to be ok. You just need to learn to wait and not rush in. Got almost 700 damage and 2 kills in my cyclops-10-q with 4 srms 4's and 3 srms 6's. Same goes for my nova which has 12 small pulse lasers in each arm.

A quick reminder: The topic is "Balance of the playstyles" not "HPG Manifold". If you want to discuss HPG, please do so in an appropriate thread. Thank you!

This post should be called the balance of tier styles.

Please expound. The majority of the “discussion” thus far has been about brawling vs other play styles, followed by maps and how specific aspects of certain ones favor or discourage brawling. Looking back it appears that folks of all tiers have weighed in and that folks in tier 1 as well as in tier 5 have observed/asserted that brawling is still doable. The main proponent of the brawling is at a disadvantage these days is a tier 1 player. So, I am just confused how this/these issues is one of tier balance.
