General Do you prefer symmetrical maps or asymmetrical ones?

[quietoffensive]

I've been replaying one old Red Alert map and honestly, symmetrical maps are starting to bore me. Every side is too equal and too predictable as well. I like when one player starts near water or one dangerous hill. It makes the whole thing feel more alive. These modern RTS games want everything balanced which I think it's not good for the game. I'm just tired of “perfect balance” everywhere.
