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) | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||

Sometimes I play destination, tau cross, even lost temple. But 99% of the games I host, are on python. | ||

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. | ||
