But seriously: it does take several tries to get used to, but it's not that bad. Fairly hard to understand, yeah, but giving it a "1" is way undue in my opinion. After all, I've seen maps that are a lot worse in this regard, and yet have a high rating (looking at you, Shoreline).
"But seriously: it does take several tries to get used to" - - - - basically explains why the map has a low rating.
Players nowadays are very impatient and demand readability in the maps they play. One wrong step and the map can jump from what would have been a 9.3 to a 9.1 .
In this map's case, it has numerous instances where the beat is hard to understand, so the rating just kept going down and down and down.
Also, Shoreline was made in a time where this sort of thing was very common. It's one of the differences between 2009 and 2012. This map would have been received relatively well in 2009.
Please keep in mind that Shoreline hasn't aged well. The rating is 8.9 right now, and it will probably go down slowly over time.
