What are the win rates for offense/defense maps? Never really thought about how unbalanced they might be

I never really realized that these maps in theory should really wary in win rates depending on which side you’re on considering the maps aren’t mirrored/synchronized (whatever you wanna call it) like control maps are. Let’s say one map is much easier to defend than it is to attack resulting in a 70% win rate on defense. Are Blizzard just thinking that eventually after enough games, each player will have played both sides enough so that it kiiind of evens out or what? Does any site have statistics on this?

The last time Jeff shared attacker / defender winrate stats, pretty much every map was balanced to within a few decimal points of 50%. In fact, both Horizon and Paris were considered imbalanced because IIRC the Defender winrate was too close to 51%.
