The main reason for why the tiers are how they are is because each of the four main exits from the cornucopia have a relatively equal amount of tier two chests in the immediate vicinity. Therefore, it is all balanced no matter which route you take. As long as you know where to look ;)
Was Avaricia re-tiered because one exit had a lot more tier 2's than other exits?

Overall balancing was one thing that we tried to accomplish with that. Likewise, we updated the map to have a fourth exit, and a deathmatch arena.

I think it's just fine as it is, being based even on what Cubes said. There are other maps like Breeze that need to be fixed, Icarus is perfect!

I think a lot of maps on MCSG should be re-tiered. I agree, Icarus needs to be re-tiered, but only after breeze...
Maps on MCSG that desperately need retiering.

Breeze Island: about 3 tier twos on the entierety of the map (besides corn)
Valleyside: All the tier twos are in literally one small section of the map, and the the rest is just tons of tier ones.
Moonbase 9: Same problem as Valleyside.
Teweran SG1: As far as I know, the only tier twos on the map besides corn is the double chest under the dragon.
Wyvern's Wake: If this ever gets re-added, they need to fix the insanely OP route. It's not just the Diamond sword and XP bottles that makes it OP. There are just too many dang Tier 2s.

I don't know if it's just me but I tend to have fairly balanced games on Icarus, it seems like there are many different routes to take and there are always at least five other people besides me with full or near full iron.

I've found that the tier 2s on Valleyside are actually quite spread out on my many adventures on the map.

One game back before I took the OP route that leads to the like 8 tier twos in one area I only knew about the tier two double chest in the 'A' building. I decided to search around the map to get a new route. I looked in what I would say was over 30 chests, traveling across at least half the map, searching around the borders, in houses, in cars, and in secret areas. I found not a single tier two. Even if they were pretty spread out, there is still the incredibly OP route that everyone goes.

I don't think I know the route you speak of ;-; however I do take a route with one double tier 2 and 2 tier 2s and no one follows me.

Yeah that's where I go, I found that there is another tier two near there and Lovelight's route with 3 tier twos (or was it four?) is also very close.

With the popularity of that route, it's almost impossible to get all the tier-2's entirely. Even if you skipped corn. If your lucky, you would be able to get 2-3 tier 2's but none more.
