There are a couple thing bothering me about the current ranked/ladder maps

1. The Colosseum Map, you probably already know that, there is Zerg creep on the very narrow choke, this means that Zerg can put down proxy sunkens without a hatchery, this in my opinion, is very bias on Zergs favor.

2. There are some Maps; Ground_Zero_2.0_iCCup, CircuitBreakers, Overwatch, that does not allow proxy buildings at all because there are things in the way.

what is your opinion?

My opinion is that map balance/factors are not the main reason you are losing your games.


i wasn't talking about my losses, please do not stereotype

I know how to beat the proxy sunken, i was just giving my opinion

You were asking us for ours, not the other way around btw. Opinions are like assholes, in the sense that even 1100 MMR players have them.


ye well it was quite off topic

btw ive just started ladder, i have made it up to 1356 so far with a 52% win rate

Jokes aside that's pretty impressive given your first post's advice. You've progressed quickly.

somebody already came up with the idea of different maps for different Ranks. The better your rank gets, the maps will get more complex.

You guys are douchebags lol

Every map has advantages and disadvantages. Where you can build buildings is one of these, but it isn't the most important one. As you play and learn more you will see other benefits that different races get from each map.

I can't speak for each map, but sometimes when areas of the map are unbuildable it is more about nerfing terran mech than preventing proxies. Terran players like to build turrets to support their armies and sometimes it can make terran too powerful on that particular map so, so part of the map is made unbuildable.

Neutral creep can be used for a few things, but on a map like Colloseum, it is so that zerg's can defend both their natural and main with the same group of sunken colonies. Otherwise Zerg players would be forced to spend extra money on creep colonies, always use 3 hatch builds, or use unusual strategies every time they played on Colloseum. Even though the neutral creep is meant to help Zergs defend, it can also be an opportunity to attack with a forward sunken colony. Usually good players can defeat this strategy though.
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?

Cant a maps sum of advantages and disadvantages be something that we can rightfully complain about? Like, Colo for instance has a weirdly designed and cramped main base. Annoying as shit for terrans and protosses, and given the map isnt well loved for other gameplay reasons, I certainly think its fair for anyone to hark on collos main. Mediocre map, bad feature...

I too find Colo very annoying in TvP because, without a ramp and with that highground right outside your choke, it's always a real fight to not die to a (proxy) 2gate, the build gets even stronger than it is by default. I tend to speed up my siege-mode to do well against it... but then you can't do anything if P just goes for that in-base 12nex which, conveniently, is not really bunkerable.

Still I don't down-vote any maps because A) for the challenge to play a disadvantageous/disliked map, the pressure to adapt and B) you never know when the training on exactly such a map might come in handy.

Getting 2 Fac high ground siege contained is equally unpleasant IMO so it balances out.

i think i remember playing colo around the time that a lot of Terrans seemed to switch from doing a lot of 10/11min ~100 or 120pop pushes to often turtling to 200/200 with upgrades -_-
there was some cool space tileset 3 player map that i haven't seen in a long time can't remember name. Why it's not around anymore, probably because natural expos were quite open so you can't do the usual wall in so it doesnt work in the end i guess^^ it was a cool map pretty popular at some point
i like colo but it's quite awkward as P vs Z especially ofc.. lul. (seems you end up kinda having to canon wall-in again). and you can barely attack T ofc

Jaedong playing against Bisu rn on his stream, it's a must-watch! Current score is Jaedong 0 - Bisu 3.
It's an 'unknown' toss player but pretty much every pro and the entire community agrees it's Bisu after watching the playstyle and analyzing sim city/hotkeys on a replay. He's quite good!
