Serene, a B, A, or S-ranked AC doesn't necessarily mean it's good. Build any AC that has won any LR tourney and you'll see that they aren't necessarily high in the rating scale. However, you will see that they are running top-tier parts such as the GL, EYE3, RS, or 98L. Don't get me wrong though because some kind of ranking system would be nice.
As for the maps, yes I would actually like it too if more maps were allowed. It's just that some of the maps, because they're too small, become too advantageous for certain types of ACs. Other maps, because of their low ceiling, make it too disadvantageous for certain kinds of ACs. My opinion is that allowing an unfair playing field is no different from allowing the use of an unfair part.
For casual matches, sure, any map is fine. However, in a tournament setting, it would be best if competitors were given equal opportunities within all controllable factors. If something tips the scale too much towards one thing, then that can't be good.
