All two dimensional (flat) maps (called projections) of the surface of the Earth have distortion. Several projections are used to create such maps and each is better for some uses and not others. There is no most distorted projection. It depends on the intended use for the map.
The Mercator Projection, developed by Flemish geographer Gerardus Mercator, was widely used as the standard two-dimensional projection of the earth for world maps until the late 20th century, when more accurate projections were formulated. Mercator was also the first to use and popularize the concept of the atlas as a collection of maps.
Mercator Projection : longitude and latitude as straight, parallel lines Conic Projection : a circular map made from a flattened cone, centered on a pole or other point Gall-Peters Projection : relocates standard parallels, narrows longitudinal spacing Robinson Projection : approximates a true spherical view of the Earth, except the poles Winkel Tripel Projection : an azimuth approximation of the world view, similar to Robinson The most widely used is the Mercator projection, the major disadvantage being its area expansions (areas closer to the poles appear larger and lack their true shapes). The Gall-Peters Projection provides a closer approximation of the relative areas. All flat representations of a spherical surface will create variances in "true" size or shape. (see image links)
The Winkel triple projection is a projection adopted by the National Geographic to better identify the golbe in its entirety.

The other popular map projections include the so-called "compromise" projections, including: Robinson Winkel Tripel Dymaxion (Buckminster Fuller) Butterfly Map (Cahill) Kavrayskiy Wagner pseudocylindrical Chamberlin trimetric Fine's cordiform
