I can think of two infamous ones: Battle Royal, on which teams just kept sending out Zerg users, leading to its replacement. Central Plains, on which teams almost only sent out Protoss users, leading to its replacement. Have there been any severely Terran favoured maps, for both matchups? | ||

Odd-Eye is probably the most Terran favored at 58% in TvZ and 68% in TvP, but the sample size on that one is relatively small. In modern maps, Allegro is trending towards passing 60:40 in TvP, which probably explains why Artosis considers it a somewhat decent map for the matchup. Pelennor gets a significant mention for Terran having over 70% in TvZ and TvP, but the sample size there is under 10 games per matchup. It was used in exactly one OSL back in 2004. Looking at statistics on old maps was an interesting experience, because the balance on some maps is very clearly a result of how the game was understood at the time the map was played. For example, Mutalisk micro. | ||

It's even worse in ZvP at like 68:32. Taking a third base is a struggle for Protoss on that map, and when it's finally done, it's just a mineral only. Edit: Ok, I checked on eloboard.com. This is how it is right now: Largo (the older version): TvZ: 55.2% PvT: 46.8% ZvP: 63.3% (!) Allegro, the newer version: TvZ: 51.9% PvT: 43.3% ZvP 59% Still a bit of a yikes ZvP, but the other matchups are within acceptable ranges. Still, too imbalanced in my opinion, because of the ZvP. PvT is also a little suspect. I'd prefer 45% or 55% at worst. Liquipedia has different statistics that show it as balanced except for PvT, which is very Terran favoured at 60%. Where does Liquipedia get its stats from? ASL only? | ||

This new 2p map for ASL: https://910map.tistory.com/155 Watch some ZvP's on it. It's downright cringe. | ||

I'd argue having some P > Z maps would be good given ZvP at least always felt so imbalanced in favour of zerg lol | ||

To defend against 3-hatch hydra pressure, Protoss needs to cannon up two locations. | ||

I've watched some games where Z just A moves shit randomly and wins by a landslide. It's an embarassing map. | ||

So it achieved what it was supposed to. Any one remember Desert Fox? And what about just overall cringiness? Demon's Forest? DMZ? | ||

Well, TvP was basically the race between the 2 push and the Carriers every game. Even putting aside balance, whenever a map forces players into that playstyle it always feels rather stale… Wasn't that map made by a non Korean? one of the usual suspects I seem to recall Yes.
