Why not fix Map Preferences?
There are obviously a lot of people that dont want to play the poorly balanced maps. There are also a lot of people that still have fun playing on those maps despite the poor designs.
The easiest solution to this would be to fix Map Preferences so that I ACTUALLY AVOID THE MAPS I CHOOSE TO AVOID. That way, everyone wins: people can still play maps like Favela and House if they want, or not. Hell, if someone really doesnt like Consulate they dont have to play there either!
The decision outlined in the recent blog post makes zero sense in that context. Not only removing maps, but removing player preference filters (albeit broken ones, but thats sort of irrelevant).
Leave it to the players to decide how they want to exclude maps from their experience.
