i'm not going to bitch about balance because i think that's stupid in general, plus TvZ is still a strong matchup for me (60% wins over the past week in NA and EU masters).
nevertheless, trying to play TvZ on a map with an overlord shelf outside my natural pisses me off like nothing else (except DT drops but that's for another post). they seem completely unnecessary since the speed buff and they give zerg very useful scouting info with virtually no risk until 10+ minutes into the game.
i hate these things so fucking much that i have put together these highly professional infographics demonstrating why i think the natural overlord shelf should be relegated to the starcraft mapmaking compost heap with such inspired ideas as the cliff at the natural on lost temple and the low ground between main and 3rd on old TDA.
since the popular blogopshere is mostly just assembling vapid numbered lists these days, i present the most egregious offenders in countdown form. note that i am using a carefully calibrated 'f' to 'fuuuuuuuuuu' scale to rate each map, where more u's indicate more rage on a log scale.

3/5 for your rage. 5/5 for your unwillingness to make a single viking. :D
Thanks for making our lives easier.

As a fellow terran player I'd also like to post my well-reasoned thoughts on this matter.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Vikings are for dumbasses, Gimp is for winners :DDDD
In all seriousness vikings = stupid and take time away from making precious medivacs all 90000 of them over my deliciously marine heavy army MWUHAHAHAHA

At least terrans can lift buildings for spotters, toss has to wait for observers or stargate.
|
lol.
This was one of those good, funny, harmless sorts of rage posts. I enjoyed it.
You could make these for the other races too, easily for things like Scans, or Observers.

Haha, loved the penthouse comment in no.2.

They should just make Overlords cloaked like observers instead.
|
Excellent blog. 5/5 for rage and hate. Die Overlord scum!

LOL - "As if this map isn't long enough already, any cheesy rushes have to hike the fucking Oregon Trail."
I see some players lift off a barracks to kill the overlord - before you swap addons, maybe?
|
I thought the blog was ok, until I looked at the pics. LOL, great job!
mad mspaint skillz
Maps should have these spots better identified, like a heliport or overlord parking space 
|
As a Zerg player, I fucking LOVE Overlord shelves.
Had me laughing at the nature preserve thing 
|
So much rage in those pics ahaha :D 5/5
Also yeah, fuck overlords.
