There are worse maps in Deathrun, sure, but this one easily takes the cake with how much people nominate it every single time.

I'm gonna list every single thing thing that makes this map unenjoyable, I hope this also serves as an example of what NOT to make while creating a Deathrun map because jesus christ.

Where to start...

-This is just my opinion but this map is very long and boring, and aesthetically it's very bland.

-A good number of the traps have an AoE the size and shape of a football field which makes avoiding the traps near impossible unless you sacrifice, which leads to the next problem:
-No one wants to go through an unavoidable trap which leads to stalling so now the game gets slowed down to a crawl until the motivator catches up to them, in which case they're already dead.

When you enable trimping, the problems gets worse.

-There are a bunch of people that only play this map for trimping (aka getting to Hale's room). This means the more demos there are, the more you people you lose on the red team.

-Demos activate traps and kill you, which means that not only you have less players on your team, the demos become an active liability because they're doing Hale's job for free. In a full server, you'd usually have around 20 runners and 6+ activators. Dealing with one activator on this map is bad enough, now you're dealing with multiple of them with each guarding a different trap.

-Demos get really toxic when you don't enable trimp and some of them just send you death threats. I have not seen a more unbearable group of people than the demos that play on this map.



In case you couldn't already tell, I don't like this map. Have a nice day.

Someone should edit Ancient to remove trimping and convince Bottiger to leave it on the server for a month or two as a little experiment to see the true reason why the map's being picked.
the true agent of chaos we needed
 
Why dont you go demo and be an ass to others? Its fun bro, trust me.
On a serious note, the only thing this map has to offer is the trimping (which is a lot of fun actually, makes the game more interesting than the usual deathrun experience) and the squares minigame where every demo jumps on the square closest to hale and waits for the platform to break for a funny massive death moment or an epic win.
Its a fun, different take on deathrun and thats why its being picked so much and you should accept that fact, instead of whining about it and wanting it gone just because you dont like it.
People choose this map because its fun, and if you cant trimp and die to trolls it just your problem.
That being said, i never vote for it myself as there are maps i like much more, but i never tell anyone they shouldnt play it because I dont like it personally. People like worse maps like bazinga so what? Let the majority decide and if you cant take it switch the server for 30 minutes as the world doesnt revolve around you.
