Complete Sakura Walls

Hey Glaze!

I want to start off by saying this is a really aesthetically pleasing map. The structures, frees, and the map is really well lit. It is really nice to look at and I can tell you spent a lot of time refining everything.

I have three suggestions that I would like to give:

1. The flagroom I feel is a bit too defensive. The only viable options for exit once stealing that I personally see as an offensive player would be the two sponges seen here:

Otherwise, I feel as if the archways that lead into the flagroom naturally are too slim and offenders will have trouble escaping. Overall, I feel the flagroom is a bit defensive biased - and for a 5 cap map that may be a little bit of a problem.
​

2. Once out of the flagroom, however, I think certain classes will have a huge advantage over others. Here is a picture of the top of the flagroom:

Now once here, the logical step is to take this sponge. This sponge launches you slightly past the big wall directly in front of me. From there, taking a few steps you can either use Soldier or Elf to basically never touch the ground ever. Here is a route that would be common on a map like this. Sponge ➡ Pink trees (enemy side) ➡ Middle Structure ➡ Pink trees (your side) ➡ Large wall (your side). You can effectively utilize this route without ever touching the ground until you have reached your side. I think this poses a problem for recovery and may be slightly offensive biased.
​

3. I believe these sponges should be removed:

The sponge directly under my crosshair propels the player right in front of the large wall. I timed the amount of time it takes to land from the sponge vs. walking across the lilypads, and the difference was under ~1.5 seconds. Why remove them if the difference is negligible? For me, personally, the way the sponge launches you relates to the problem I stated above with the routing of the map. Drop down from the mid-structure, land on that sponge, and you can wall climb over to your side without any fear of ground recovery. I think removing this sponge would help contribute to solving (not solve completely) the issue I stated above because it would force the player to travel by ground.
​

*Good work on this map overall, I think it would play smoothly as is now, but I wanted to point out my personal concerns in case you wanted to make any alterations. Thanks for taking the time to make this! It looks great.
