Now don't get me wrong, playing only pp farm maps can lead you to missing important step and developing your skillset. However, if you combine pp farm along with maps that tackle other areas (i.e, streams, tech, low/high AR, stamina, etc), then you become a much better rounded player. And it's for one reason:
Aim.
For the longest time I prided myself on having top plays in tech, non-farm maps. However I couldn't aim or jump for shit. I've only recently started to dive into the farm meta and I've gotta say it's helped me improve my aim a lot.
A lot (maybe even all) the top players used to farm pp heavy before they got to where they're at now. Some still do today.
Again, I advise against just playing TV sized or Sotarks/Log Off Now/ 60 second maps. It's important to diversify. But don't turn your nose up on playing Padoru/Padoru every now and then. Who cares if it gets on your top plays list? No one really cares about your profile anyway.
Okay, random ramble no one asked for it over.
