What rule? That's never said anywhere, it's not even one of those non-written rules. It's just something that never seems to happen here, no one but no one uses water.
(Though I do think the map is unnecessarily hard on pyros because of the water).
Water's very, very, very easy to use poorly. And saying to people "too much waster is bad" is a lot easier than "Here are the many and varied ways in which your map uses water poorly"
I wouldn't have said that was Whalerace's primary issue. The map is small, with bugger all height variation and the carts constantly ride side by side making gameplay repetitive; there's never any tactical choice between choosing to push your cart or block the enemy cart because you can do both simultaniously. Or easier yet, play sniper because you can't use the cart as cover and the sightlines are redonculous.
The water can be annoying sometimes, especially when an engineer sets up a sentry nest underwater because assaulting something underwater puts you at even more of a disadvantage. But in terms of unbalancing pyro's, yea, if you're that bothered about afterburn. But otherwise it's a non-issue. We're talking about a map that's largely underwater, not one that has a river running through the centre of it like plenty of existing maps do.
