3. Dominator

This map is the best map for wasting our time. Most games end after 25 minutes. On this map, you can't easily win or lose.

2. Radeon

It’s similar to Fighting Spirit, but worse because there's no center base. At least this map isn't unbalanced because of spawn locations.

All things to do on this map is take 3 bases, turtling at 200/200 and then combat in the center map like 2 children enjoying the game. And why do I have to play on Radeon map while I use NVIDIA GPU?

1. Fighting Spirit

Your spawn location affects the result of the game too much, which makes the map very unbalanced. How can you win when you spawn at 1 o'clock and your opponent is at 5 o'clock?

Your third base is very close to your opponent, but their third base is very far from you. If you take your third base at 12 o'clock, you won't have an internal path to defend, it's too unfair.

Remember, even your main base is still more vulnerable to drop than your enemy's. Fighting Spirit is absolutely terrible to play, especially on ladder.

WE ARE GOING THROUGH THE MOST BORING SEASON OF ALL TIME!

Someone doesn’t remember Blue Storm, where tvp would end up in draws half of the time because attacking through the middle was a complete suicide.

But yes, Fighting Spirit not being retired is baffling.

I still could barely understand your choice had you removed the term "all time" from your thread title. If you talk about "all time", well I would recommend Neo Blaze, and please tell me if you prefer this map over the ones you mentioned. There was a day we actually played on that. To me, this one takes the gold by a large margin.

Imagine if you will there was a way to discard ANY 3 maps you don't like (no matter how wrong ur reasons may or may not be)!?

I don't understand how 3 maps can affect your laddering? Unless there are other maps you hate.

For me it's great to see maps I know, because I rarely ladder. So if it's a completely new map it's confusing. I've had the most fun games on Fighting Spirit! It's quite balanced as far as the statistics go afaIk.

Also the GPU comment makes no sense to me, so please elaborate. ^_._^

Radeon is an AMD GPU so i think it s just a joke that the syntax somewhat murdered. It is the least extreme part of the post tbh ^^

If you know you need certain skills to play this great game, you will understand why we should compete on maps like Neo Blaze. Because if everything is handed to you easily, where are your skills?

When I was a kid, I used to type Show me the money in every game, I played Protoss to vs Computer. I don't do that anymore, and you?

Dominator and Radeon are statistically two of the most balanced maps ever made. They are great maps and create great games. Reallt unbased take to call them the worst. Players lose before 25 on dominator pretty much all the time. 25min+ games are factually more rare than ever with the present day map pools.

Oooh ur right.. Flew way over my head that one. I HATE logos on maps in SC2 cuz they are really intrusive. But that one I would have never detected it on my own.. Probably would not have affected me subliminally even.. ^_._^
