Is it strictly for the OG map factor? I'm a newer player and I think mirage is one of the most difficult CS maps. There is a LOT of elevation. Most decent positions to play in leave you exposed to other important angles and sightlines. CT off angles are nearly all one and dones. Many long range duels.

I find it to be a very difficult and frustrating map to play especially soloq. The only thing keeping it from the #1 hardest map in my book is that there's an easy lineup for nearly anything anywhere, smokes to block off angles that you'd be vulnerable to since you are vulnerable in many positions.

And yet it is one of the most popular maps and doesn't get banned much in premier. Am I missing something?
