New HBR is so cool. How're you gonna take out a 2 player and a 3 player map for two 4 player maps? That's infuriating. | ||

Terran abuses tanks with the cliffs and bridges and maybe gets a new mech build that Zergs need to adapt to. Zerg gets a close 3rd gas making +1 speedlot much harder. PvT I dunno. Judgement Day, Zerg beats everyone like on Andromeda, and Protoss goes carriers vs Terran. | ||

The maps they removed are two of the finest maps that we have had, and they've been replaced with utter mediocrity. I mean, Roadrunner has a little bit of potential, but I don't see anything good about Judgment Day at all. Little potential to create fine games between them makes it all the worse considering the circumstances, since Outsider and HBR both seem to encourage very interesting sets. Somebody fucked up. | ||

I agree with those who feel adding two more 4-player maps at the expense of a 2- and 3-player map is the wrong decision. | ||

Totally expected New HBR and Outsider SE to be removed. Despite the new changes, HBR was overused and Outsider SE was still kinda imbalanced (and used quite long too). Looks like the only change in Roadrunner is the center of the map. I like the map pool change :D | ||

In fact, it makes a ton of sense. The new maps may not be as interesting as the ones they removed, but they may increase the percentage of good long games because of the cheese factor alone. Good call. That said, I almost prefer creative cheese to rote macro wars. I can see Roadrunner being something more than the very standard macro we're so accustomed to, Judgment Day seems standard/boring as hell. I'm sure it will yield some great games, but I just wish there were more in the way of oddball maps. | ||

- Wall-in at nat. - Small corridors, difficult to flank. Also 12 nexus looks pretty strong here as well. Meanwhile, Roadrunner looks like the differences between the 2/8 expos and the 11/5 expos might be a little imba. Guardians would be really strong in those 2/8 pockets, not to mention all over the middle. Lurkers on the bridges... easy flank and backstab capabilities. Zerg imba, imo. | ||

I dont agree at all, Judgement Day has a lot more easily defendable main, nat and min 3rd together, the 4th is alot easier to take and defend aswell. They LOOK similar, but I think they will be played out completely different. If you're going to compare Judgement Day to anything, Andromeda is ALOT better. | ||

Outsider Outsider SE Heartbreak Ridge New Heartbreak Ridge See a pattern? Huge numbers of ZvZs. ZvZ is bad for ratings (especially after the horrible OSL/MSL ZvZs last season), but they happen so often because most teams send out double-Zergs (instead of double-Terran or double-Protoss). Basically they're trying to kill Swarm Season before it kills Starcraft. I wish they'd get rid of Moon Glaive too, though. | ||

That being said, we definitely need some better maps for TvP. Roadrunner seems to be one, similar to Tornado. They put more water on them to make them effectively smaller, so Protoss would be less powerful. In fact, I believe that the game has evolved in such a way that 128x128 maps are too big for TvP and we need smaller maps to keep the matchup balanced. PvZ also gets a boost since Protoss really needs an easier to take 3rd base(not quite as easy as on Matchpoint though) so that they don't fall behind economically when facing the dreaded 5hatch hydra. Compact maps are the way to go. | ||
