He didn't say "unpleasant," he said it was a typical map without overpowered elements.
He said, "The path to the Guardian is very unpleasant." I don't see how a group of giants (speed 7) is unpleasant. I may not be among the top players, nor do I have much experience, but in my opinion, a horde of upgraded wyverns and a pack of giants are guards of at least equal value. It's like spitting in the opponent's face.
