What is your best and worst map ?

[CafeineMan]

Would it be possible to make a big poll to know which are your favorite and least favorite official maps? I'm always surprised to see some maps being voted for and others being left out. My tastes are obviously not the same as everyone else's.

The best would be to be able to put a note for each map between 1 and 10 for example.
Valve often asks us to rate the maps at the end of the game but we never really know the results.

I wanted to try to do it, but my possibilities are too limited.

It's a bit of work, but if some kind soul had the time to do it, it would be great.

I don't think such a topic has been started yet, but if it has, I apologize.

PS: I speak exclusively from the point of view of the gameplay.

Hard to decide with how many maps there are in the game. I do like payload and attack/defend so I'd probably go for a badwater/upward and altitude/gorge for most favorite and most disliked would be something involving koth like nucleus/harvest.

Since you suggested ranking all the maps' gameplay on a scale of 1 to 10, I did that. In my own, highly opinionated and biased way.
