I'll give this a go, adding in some comments.
Survival Games 1- 7.5/10 | This map in its current form is flat out boring. It's honestly the best you can do with a pure forest map though. It offers some really decent PvP, which I can't deny. The new revamped version of this map on the "other" servers has fixed the size issue of the water, so it's actually improved quite a bit. If that version was on the servers I'd give it an 8/10.
Survival Games 2- 9/10 | Forever my favorite map. There are multiple large chest routes to take that all offer a decent amount of tier 2's. The map is fair, and that's what a map should be. It offers a really solid selection of PvP. I knocked a point off because it can be tough to find that last person to get down to the final 3, or what used to be the final 2 (which was even tougher.)
Survival Games 3- 6/10 | SG 3 is honestly a really solid map. The hotspots seems to garner some solid PvP, but otherwise you'll always play with the newbies who have no idea where they are going or what they are doing, and thus the matches take forever. This makes it boring, and is one of the reasons why I don't record on it often.
Survival Games 4- 8/10 | I really didn't want to give this map a high rating, I really didn't. But even I can't deny the fact that I still vote for it when it's up. Simply put, it offers the best PvP out of ANY of the maps. It's easy to find a fight, and that's what I want, action. I'd give it a higher rating, but honestly, the chest routes are awful. There are only two REALLY good ones, and then the other half of the map is bland. The map design is boring and flat. PvP tends to win Blamph over.
Survival Games 5- 7/10 | I gave SG 5 a 7 because it's still to this day the only map I've ever had lag on consistently. I only get the lag when I record in full screen, but it's still pretty obnoxious. It's a sexy map, it really is. The matches tend to be short, but I'll have to give it one more knock on the point scale due to the corn being pretty shotty. It's fancy and all, but pretty obnoxious when playing against teams.
Breeze Island- 4/10 | Mother of God. Too small, too boring, too much water, not enough land, not enough chests, go away.
Insanity Cause- 5/10 | I added a point because I actually enjoy it slightly more then Breeze Island. It's quite obnoxious to find the chests though, and there wasn't to much thought put into the creation. Just please stop with these mini maps, they aren't fun, honestly.
Teweran SG 1- 8/10 | I tend to be a pretty tough rater. This map is really good looking, I can't deny that, but the PvP is.. lacking to say the least. Still, it continues to be one of my favorite maps.
Teweran SG 2- 8.5/10 | I actually like this one more then Teweran 1, partially because of the "no ice" stance. I think it lacks quite a bit in the PvP area also, but it's a step up from #1. I think it deserves to be voted in more.
Kharmunrah- 4/10 | I absolutely despise this map with a heavy passion. The chest placement is horrible, and there still continues to be only one or two good routes. It's just a large map with a corn that I hate to get to. You don't need to have a fancy corn to make a map look good, really, you don't. I have yet to have a solid match where the PvP is good on this map, which is another reason to knock on it. I'll continue to leave matches when this is voted.
Fortress Pyke- 7/10 | Surprisingly one of the maps that I enjoy. I have a solid chest route on it, and there doesn't seem to be too many tier 2 chests, which means PvP will generally be even and fair. I'm a big fan of mid sized maps, and this one hit that one perfectly. The landscape is well done also. The only two knocks I give the map is the amount of water in it, and that horrible trap where you can get stuck in all game. It ruined one of my recordings once. : (
Survival Kingdom- 7.5/10 | Two words, solid PvP. Too many chests though, and it's one of my main problems with the map. It's also a little too cluttered, but that's fine when I'm chasing someone and they have no idea where to go.
Ancient Japan- 5.5/10 | Just no. It's a slight step up from Karmunurahurahurah, but it's lacking in the tier 2 department (though me and Evan have found a cluster of them that I've never known about before.) The PvP is only a running game on this map, which is the problem with completely flat maps. I do give it this though, the architecture and design of the buildings is flat out awesome.
Moonlight Lake- 7/10 | I enjoy this map a bit on the odd occasion. The corn is a bit of an oddball, but it actually makes for some interesting PvP moments, so I don't hate it. It's another small map though, with a small amount of chests. I may only like it because my route is the sexy.
Asia Games- 3/10 | Holy smokes, I'm not even sure how this was accepted, I really don't. The map is so random with the buildings sporadically placed that it honestly just confuses me. Even the village on the map looks randomized and oddly placed. The design is interesting, and if the map wasn't so damn big I might have given it a couple of points, but this has been the ONLY map after the 40 minute time limit was put in where I have actually reached that time limit. WHYYYYYYY!? was this added.
Solar Frost- 8.5/10 | Oddly enough one of favorite maps. I LOVE the PvP element on this map. The fact that I can run a couple of solid chest routes on a map this small appalls me, kudos to the map makers for winning me over. One thing that I love is that I can look out into corn from one of the caves and see an all out battle between 5-6 people. Sex-E.

MCSG Ruins- Ew/10 | Gross.
Hungry Hills- 6/10 | I actually didn't mind Hungry Hills too much. I only played it 5 times total and won 3 of them, none of which I had a chest route etched out until my 5th play through. It simply didn't get voted enough for me to care about it.
Skylands Survival- 4/10 | Still debating if this map was thought out when it was in the planning process, still don't think it was. Worst PvP gameplay out of any of the maps.
Overgrown Arena- 6/10 | Alright, huge map, but I actually enjoyed it. I had an awesome game on it during one of the livestreams where I was about to kill Chad while I was teamed up with St. Camel, but lo and behold, the server dc'd. Didn't play it enough to actually enjoy it and etch out a chest route. Does make me miss the 48 man servers though.
Yellowstone- 1/10 | Were there even chests on this map? And what was that stone wall? I remember watching SixZoSeven once and he actually got OUTSIDE the wall. The outside was literally just survival mode. Haven't heard from Six since.
