Talking about map biases is completely irrelevant because maps will be played on both sides.
If we could bring in a group of gamers that don't play AC but play alike games competitively then we could have them investigate all the maps and decide what maps are too biased to be played in a fair competitive setting. This would only truly help if a competitive match was just (1) match where the map needed to be fair because only one round on one fair map would decide the winning team. That's not how matches are played though. Each team gets to choose a map, whether biased or not, in the typical AC clan match which also eliminates the need to discuss biases.
So what about maps some people think are boring or that the enemy has studied well or are too dark or cause frame drops? It's never going to be that fair, get over it. This is a free online multiplayer FPS that uses such little resources that it allows a lot of people to play with decent framerate. Celebrate that. To further restrict competitive map play because of x player is going to drop framerate when looking down the middle of werk or because Y player's monitor is old and keller looks really dark isn't reason enough to eliminate maps from a tournament.
Allow all maps to be played. We can remove a map from the tournament if there is a unanimous decision from all participating players to do so.
