What happened to Sawmill?

[Bumstead]

When you look at the map selection for casual neither version of Sawmill is on there, so what happened to those maps?

[Loot Goblin]

it was removed, due to being absoloutely horrible.

Theres 3 versions of sawmill, but only one survives to this day.

That's because unbalance of the map

It sort of possibly works for koth, but it's terrible for ctf, too cramped and those saw blades are horrendous.

People still get killed by the saw blades?

Probably, mostly by accident when they get in the way while trying to avoid damage.

I seriously don't understand why Valve has removed the CTF Sawmill and Well. Like, there's this magical thing called map selection menu, so if you don't want to play there, then just untick the damn thing...

On meet your match day one, you could only select gamemodes an not maps.

Sawmill and Well were gone from the very start, valve just hasn't changed it

A year late, but returning it wouldn't do much as 2fort and Turbine dominate the CTF playerbase, so having those maps means we'll have two maps that will never ever be played by any means.

I know, but since the map selection was introduced, there was literally no excuse for not doing something so simple for several months.

Naw there will still be plenty of people who play them. It's a core gamemode

Honestly I'd rather DoubleCross was the poster boy for ctf rather than 2fort.
