I've been feeling similar feelings to you, although I've been less involved in the nitty-gritty stuff. If I ever make another map it will be after I divorce my feelings for SC2 from my feelings about the maps. I still enjoy the act of tinkering in the editor, and if I get another map going I'm sure I'll enjoy it, but historically my passion for SC2 has been tied to my passion for maps, and vice-versa, and I realize that's doing me no favors these days.

There's still D3, Hearthstone and Overwatch keeping me occupied, so while there is the one miss, Blizzard is still mostly hits for me. I would like to enjoy SC2 again though.

It honestly feels like some of you guys from the map cave are just trying so hard to push this "woe is me" narrative that everybody hates you and nobody will ever appreciate your work and you're all just being blocked, but nobody is willing to analyse why. I've told Kantuva specifically as well as a couple other mappers that I am more than happy to set up players to test maps that any of you guys make, to help figure out balance and kinks, and in the months since LFM, literally not a single person other than Alba and Avex, who already talked to me prior, have asked for anything. You guys don't seem interested in improving your methods, and frankly it shows.

I don't bear any ill will to any of the guys in the map cave, and my offer still stands, but from my perspective, it really looks like you guys don't want to change anything and are content to just keep making the same mistakes and publicly whining about it when it doesnt go your way.

Some of us are still kinda ballin' it, but this statement is not unfounded.
