OK, I see what you're saying. I just don't think contracts (as you say - being forced to play a particular map) should make you think medieval is undeserving of a new map. I think that's kinda separate from the map itself. I wouldn't want to play Suijin forever either, but I'm glad it exists.
Lets put it simple. Any decent that map gets added regardless of gamemode is a good addition to the game. Many gamemodes are in a serious lack of maps.
However, if it doesnt suit my style i dont want to play it. Even for gamestyles i dont like i still often try the new maps that valve adds so i at least know how it plays. But if 1 map of the bundle is bad, i want to be able to avoid it in the event entirely. Hence meet your match was good on that For example if dont realy like sunshine, i can just exclude the map from the list and just play all other maps without any penalty - well, at most matchmaking wait times. This is good and can realy help upcoming updates to allow medieval mode again.
Degrootkeep might be a bad map in general, it might favour some classes alot more, but its not the purpose of the map to be excelent. Its purely for fun, and it does the job. And especialy since its just 1 map, it would deserve a 2nd one.
