I cant stand python. If something is not done soon I might just quit starcraft. How can ANYONE play on the same map again and again and again and again and again et y infitum? Not only that, but map is basic, simplistic, and just down right ugly.

It sucked when it started, but it sucked even harder when it spread like a damn virus.

please good god why do they have LOST TEMPLE 2.4 as a MOTW? LOST FUCKING TEMPLE? What makes it worse is that there are about 10x more LT games then Destination or Byzantium games! PLAY THE NEW MAPS PEOPLE

Well newer replays on LT are rather entertaining, so it's not all bad.

I can understand that python becomes boring in the end but Blue Storm is very interesting as a map. And anyways iCCup is a ladder so they need people, that s why they wont remove popular maps

You realise if they remove python something will just take it's place and you'll end up hating that because it gets over played too right
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I have seen much more better maps then Python, maybe its because you're so used to it, I think it sucks because of the pathing of the map and MANY things, its far from being BEST.


Actually in my opinion python has some of the best pathing around. Many of the new maps have fucked up pathing due to cool tricks like having areas blocked by mineral patches. Python doesn't have any of these.

In any case, luna is terrible and I don't know what the FUCK iccup was thinking putting lost temple into the maps of the week this past week, but python and blue storm are good maps.

Seconded; Python mapping is pretty good. Luna's is horrible and annoying, often splitting units on those side ridges. bleh

wow u guys are fanatics. Just deal with it, join the games that aren't python luna or LT if you're so serious about this map problem. They aren't bad maps, they're really good maps and the most playable, which is why they are so popular.
How can anyone shit talk LT? it hasnt been mainstream for the past 2 years. The strategies you can use on this map are so diverse and different from the maps we've been playing for the past 2 years, it's a nice change.
I admit, python isnt my favorite map, but who cares if everyone else plays it. They have good reason to, it emphasizes the basics and theres no serious imbalance. So what if they play it, thats not stopping you from joining motw games.
Basically most beginner to intermediate players don't want to have to learn 5 new maps every season, they'd rather master the basics on a solid map and work their way up in skill from there. There's no reason for people to get mad at that fact. You can still have fun just avoiding those maps.

Python is the very definition of a standard map now, which is kind of cool, but it also makes the games really kind of boring that are played on it.

They cant just ban maps. They try to encourage the use of different maps through MOTW in order to get a better mix. IMO it seems to be working

The only mistake they make is having these overplayed maps (andro python luna lt blue storm, the middle 3 especially) ever ever be motw. They don't even exist in the pro circuit anymore, so why should they be even allowed over much better maps of the past (rov peaks bifrost etc). If blue storm/andromeda are overplayed, whatever, at least they are current. At least they do this with longinus, which I'm happy for. But practicing on Python/LT/Luna is just gimping yourself overall. Mass mechanics can be practiced better on other maps (andro colesseum othello etc), since they are more reflective of the current setting and you won't have any transitional problems.

Having Python as MOTW was the stupidest idea possible. No other map appeared on the list during that week. If the trio existed but counted for less points and were never motw, everything would be fine.
