It's being used in a current tournament!
This is easily the best map pool so far. Hitchhiker is the only non standard map, it's semi standard but even so all of the maps are interesting.

I didn't say all the maps were standard, I just said that it is the most standard map pool so far, Imo 
Hitchhiker is really not that hard to learn, too. Its kinda blue stormish (+destructible buildings), but better imo.

Exactly
people don't like "new" or "oldie but goldie" maps because they're mostly lazy.
I understand the angle they're coming from, but I really dislike it too. One of the things that made BW so fun is that it had SO. MANY. MAPS. It Made for super interesting dynamic between the races (balance), playstyles, etc.
That's why STPL is the best league around! I'm getting the poor man's proleague vibes from it, and I think that was the overall idea in the first place :D

Well, I think that for completely new maps like Hitchhiker you need to play very differently and that leads to frustration sometimes so it's understandable that people don't like them. OTOH I rather have something like Hitchhiker than some weird island map that takes months to figure out. I'd also like to see more 3-player maps, those are interesting without being completely different.

It's not a completely new map though, it's over 10 years old.. it just was not used because we had many other new maps being made. Hitchhiker is seriously not that crazy.. I don't know why some people complain that it is a "shit" map . . . We had so many way worse ones in the map pool over the years.
and I agree that the more "nonstandard" maps can lead to frustration.. but BW is frustrating anyways, even when playing on FS/CB so it should not be a biggie :D
I think this is the best map pool yet, actually. Glad they didn't put Inner Coven or Tripod in..
And I agree about the 3 players maps. I wish Whiteout was used more.

From the first looks of the maps this was my reaction as well... And I don't think it will change.

I'm not sure what's not to like. 2 current tournament maps, La Mancha which is a great map, FS/CB which people like anyway and New Bloody Ridge which is a highly popular and very fun 2 player map.

Yeah well..
There are other maps than FS/CB/Sylphid/Gladiator = insta dislike to some, I guess.
Isn't this like the most standard/fun map pool since first Remastered ladder season? Am I crazy? Why so many people dislike it? Please tell us, guys.

wow, thx for seasons date info!

What ever happened to aztec as a ladder/tourney map? I used to love playing on it.
|
Seems like apart from map pool there's literally zero changes... Lol'ed at first post on battle.net hard:
"Thanks for 2x2 ladder" xD
|
I like that big yellow map, makes for fun macro games ammarite?
|
I have to admit, Escalade is pretty cool. Easy to claim standard 4-p map vibes, however it's way more complex (what with the different levels and all and the very long rush distances.
ASL games so far seem to confirm this.
Might be the new Sylphid for this year.

Removed my post as its quoted below, cleans up the page.

In korean but essentially the mineral amounts and positions changed for the most part. 1.4 is the newest version.

Someone should enlighten me what is the purpose of reseting ELO point? I have a feeling they blindly copied it from icc for no obvious reason.

It's something that happens in every game that uses ranked seasons.
Usually it's just a soft reset, though.

who is barcode ''jumpylion'' rank #1 right now?
this looks like another abuse/drophack 25-0 but 8 undecided??
sorry matched with him so it has to be on stream somewhere....

Tried to play the game. All of my menus disappear after alt-tab, can't see the enemy (name, race, mmr) or the map before the game. Can't unpause.
Back to Dota.
