I'm okay with python. If you can do well on python, you can do well on almost any map that's out there.
Learning the basics is good, and the right pace to start for players that are between C- and D-

I never play Python anymore even if it means that I'll be scouring game lists for like 5 minutes.

Well, I play Python and other rather "plain" maps a lot because it narrows down the strategic part, which is ideal for rather low players like me. I don't feel that I can compete on tricky maps like Outsider yet. By the time I'll have become a more accomplished player, I will go for the rather uncommon maps as well. Until then, it's Python all over

You talk about 'plain maps' yet there's a huuge difference between Python and say, Andromeda, Tau Cross or Colosseum.

Learning to play on different maps (well, you can stick with the more normal ones, shit like Battle Royal sucks) allows you to understand why different strategies work, in what scenarios, and how map dependent your gameplay really is. Imo it increases the rate at which you understand the basic strategy of starcraft (by general I mean stuff like when should you aim a timing attack or when to expand, really basic stuff)

Actually, I've found it difficult to find games that aren't destination being hosted.

As someone who can't host games it's:

24 Destination

31 Python

17 Medusa

8 Colloseum

And everything else is 6 or lower. Pretty much every game on Destination was made by a Protoss.... Actually, pretty much every game in general was made by a Protoss, with maybe 15% being other races.

Almost every Blue Storm game was hosted by a Zerg for me, but Destination has been pretty well distributed for me in races.

I've only played one Colloseum game that was hosted by a Zerg.

So considering that BW had the Lost Temple era and then the Python era which is still pretty common nowadays, what would be the most dominant map as of now? Python is still indeed overused but I'm assuming that's because there's no map that's better? What makes a map good anyway?

Balance.
Variation in strategies.

But to make a map popular, all you need is for standard strats from previously popular maps to be viable on it. It's also important that it be in proleague... If a map is in both individual leagues, and proleague, it will be popular.

I like python, and I almost always host it.
Sometimes I play destination, tau cross, even lost temple.

But 99% of the games I host, are on python.

That map is python.

People also refuse to learn any map besides Python from D- to about C- ... it's depressing. It doesn't even take that damn long to learn a different map.

Oh.. and python is AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL.


I know but what does that have to do with protoss?

strangely over-sensitive much?

It was just a joke about "diff map." "fuck"


I dont get it either.
I mean, the title...
Why is it "Oh, Protoss"? Python doesnt favor protoss in any match up. o_O

I dun dislike python. I think its an ok map, and the 2 "islands" give you some nice choices of strategies.
I much rather if people would still play LT as much as they used to. lol
Im glad the Luna fever is gone, now that was a repetitive map.

I hate python, the maps is so fucking old now too and it's still the most popular map after what like 2years? Seriously, the map is so fucking boring and 1 dimensional.

I've been playing 95% GG lately and have had decent success with finding opponents.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)
