My perfect map:

-3 points
- 1 point down, 2 points up
- a few fire traps
- no snowball
- some corridors but not too many
- no gates
- no healpad
- yellow

Sounds like something you'd want for 1v1s. It would be nice but LD isn't made for 1v1s. If there was something for 1v1s I think OOO would make it for 1v1s instead of adapting another game mode to it.

I'll see if I can make a mockup for an idea myself in a while.

Definitely Ruins and Ramparts.

Both of these maps have:
*5-points
*Hard to fully spawn camp
*Great for Recons
*Useful for bombers
*Generates some of the best battles
*Many areas to "snipe" enemies with guns

Okay, now for the perfect map:

*5-points
*Hard to spawn camp
*Great for Recons
*Useful for bombers
*Generates some of the best battles
*Many areas to "snipe" enemies with guns
*Has interesting features like enemies (turrets?) or enemy-spawning areas so you'd need to take care of both the node and the enemy
*No narrow corridors
*Fun and bright

My ideal map

Base exits located at bottom so camping is harder.
Teams have two gunpuppies located just outside base to further stop camping.
Vertical layout design means capping and fighting on enemy side is harder.
Back passage that runs up through the center of the map, shortcut to enemy side but visible from enemy base.
Middle base that can be defended well from either side.
Center area with one-way barriers to allow escape from point 3 and add strategy to the map.

Would like to see an Unknown Passage themed map. Maybe the turrets could be unkillable like the turrets in unknown passage. Maybe shadow swarm traps could be a thing.

Here's mine. The purpose of this map is to make sure all play styles have a useful niche while also making it easy to take points close to home and hard to hold points farther away.

About Points
The bottom two points are serve as "primary points" close to one's base. They are designed for gunners. Each is surrounded by a "box" that asses bullets and the only entrance opens towards the nearest team's base.
From a defensive standpoint, players capping a primary point can spam guns at people fighting on the outside of the "box". In the case of camping enemies, teammates can use guns from inside the safe zone to provide cover for those running into the box to cap.
From an offensive standpoint, guns are the best way to conquer the point since you can fire into the box while maneuvering yourself to the hard to reach entrance.

The top side points are "secondary points" and are designed for swordsmen. There's a lot of open space for running around and the walls are all bullet-proof so gunners won't have much cover.
From a defensive standpoint, secondary points are much harder to protect than the primary points since there's no single choke point. However, the team closest to each point has straight line access to a health pad located in their base. If the enemies don't have guardians, they will need to travel all the way down the map to reach the nearest heart pad.
From an offensive standpoint, secondary points have a south-facing entrance, allowing GF combo-ers to take advantage of the camera angle. The two entrances allow a cooperative, two-direction attack.

The middle point is the most interesting since it is supposed to be the most contentious. It is in a small, enclosed space with bullet-blocking walls, making it ideal for bombers. A south-end attack is deterred by factors listed in the next paragraph. A north-end attack is a bomber's delight.
From a defensive standpoint, the middle point is basically a fortress. People like to attack from the south, but the south is guarded by a rocket puppy, which is annoying to say the least. Furthermore, there is a ghost block barrier to prevent sneak attacks. Once the ghost block breaks, a defender standing on the point will know somebody is coming (note that the ghost blocks are quite close to the point). On the north end there is effectively one entrance because the passage is narrow and the point is pretty far down. There's almost no way to ambush someone who is guarding the middle point.
From an offensive standpoint, the middle point is the most tricky to take down. However, it is a great target for a team who is struggling against campers. The team-walls allow someone to sneak into the middle region easily. Pursuing enemies will be forced to take a long way around. This buys time for teammates back at the base.

More Notes
Primary and secondary points are easy to hold driving most of the action towards the middle. At the same time, the middle point relatively isolated, allowing sneaky players to take formerly unfavorable points before the enemy can double-back. (ie. A powerful opposing team would spend more time on your side of the field than their side, so they would approach their primary point from the "wrong" side.)
There are two heart pads located at the bottom center. Having two instead of one makes it hard for one team to hog the pad. However, the pads are close to each other which encourages fighting at the healing spot. The healing spot is positioned far away from any capture point, which means people who stay there too often loses out on captures.
Finally, the team safe zones extend across the whole width of the map and has a barrier in the middle. This makes life harder for campers.

A maze arena that changes with each match (always symmetrical) would be awesome

...confirmed

Feast your eyes upon such glorious thred.

Because it was for testing purposes and not actually playing.
