They are extremely reluctant to change anything about the game world itself because that would defeat the purpose of a faithful recreation of vanilla.
They’ll do almost anything else before they do that. They certainly don’t want to get caught in a cycle of endless tweaks in the name of “fairness”.
Given that every discussion I see on this consists of A pointing out concrete map advantages (both central graveyards hard choked from the A side and and wide open from the H side; H starting cave giving them excellent position to recapture IB) and H either agreeing, chest thumping or trying to change the subject to irrelevant BS like who was winning in 2006; it seems pretty clear that H has those advantages. But this is Classic and that alone is not necessarily a good enough reason to make inauthentic changes. If banning afk’ers gets A up to winning 25% of the time, for example then I suspect they’ll stop there.
