It fills the space in overly complex ways that result in terrain that only matters in weird cases where a fight happens there, but never should because other routes can close off that space. It's not a terrible map. It just doesn't offer anything comprehensibly unique in a solid way, and it has a slew of awkward problems, like base placement. There is no concept or theme that holds it all together except for lots of chokepoints, I guess, which means that fixing it doesn't make much sense, you'd just be changing isolated features endlessly. Better to just move on and try new things. I hope this helps. =]

I was definitely going for a lot of chokes and for alternate attack paths in order to encourage multiple smaller engagements, which I felt like it did as 6m1hyg, but everything is just too close together while your main bases are just too far apart. It felt so good as 6m1hyg... oh well.
