@RoflCoper Every map is biased IMO. There are different ways of playing a side.But ones just easier than others.
Because more can be less. Having maps that are severely biased (such as ac_aqueous) actually detracts from the game somewhat. In clan matches it allows teams an easy win even when they are significantly weaker.
Unless maps are to be virtually symmetrical there will always been some bias, but when certain maps are so biased as to not be fun or fair I don't see a good reason for their inclusion. (With ac_aqueous it is very difficult to push through the tunnels into CLA base, and even if you do kill a defending CLA player will often respawn before you can escape with their flag.)
Admittedly we could try to reach a consensus not to play certain maps in clan matches but with no major leagues to back such ideas it wouldn't catch on. I don't think biased maps are particularly fun for pubs either.
The most severely biased are probably ac_aqueous, ac_snow and ac_arid. ac_arid is a really good duel map though, so I just think it should be restricted to non-flag modes.
