I'll post what I said about it after-the-fact:
"I think the mini-map would have been worth explaining. It also was kind of in the way considering how small the map was.
The mini map is so small that it didn't have that much of a purpose.
If we were to update it, the mini-map could be put in he middle with the ability buttons on the side of it.
I think the mini-map can work, it just needs some touching up"
I would say more, but it's an aberrant story about how the mini-map came up.
