Ludicrously Unbalanced Maps

Does anyone else enjoy playing on really ridiculous maps? Obviously for competitive purposes, maps need to be as balanced as possible, but every now and then it's really fun to whip out some crazy-ass map and give it a spin. For example, not too long ago I took a UMS Battlecraft map, removed all the units and triggers, sprinkled minerals and gas throughout, placed 8 starting locations and called it a melee map. Playing on it was good times, even though some positions were disadvantaged; some start locations were on islands, or blocked off by mineral patches. The pathfinding was nightmarish, there was no room to build, and everything was in tank range of everything else --- but that was fine since we were playing TvT. It was a blast. Anyway, just something to think about if you ever get sick of playing on Python or whatever.
(PS: Looks like I don't have that map anymore, but the effect is pretty easy to recreate.)

EDIT: This is a pretty stupid thread so it might be happier in General, I dunno.
May the BeSt man win.

Why not just play that Seven Sins map. That was was hilariously awesome. IIRC someone actually owned a min patch >_> I'm not sure if we had to mine it to kill them or not.

I can beat any protoss on (8)Zerg Flyer Full

I think I could even bet money and play a BO5.

That's like the most imbalanced map ever, poor protoss cant even build a single probe : )
I have returned

at first I thought you came up against one of those "1v1 obs" games on b.net. Where it's UMS and the creator gets 99999999999999999 gas and minerals. I came up against one guy doing that, and kind of figured something was wrong when he wall-d in completely when i scouted him first but surprisingly won the game. (what a noob).

There was a map that resembled the world- that was kind of cool to play.
The seven sins one is also pretty awesome.

We should hold a Blizzard Maps Challenge. Some of those maps are just insanely ridiculously poorly designed for modern play:

Hah! Power Lines made me laugh. Took me a while to figure out what was wrong with it, though.

Chain Lightning looks kinda cool if you ask me.

It'd be nice if people posted links to the maps like Grand did.

I think thats what it was designed for. It probably has a UMS setting, right?

Obviously in a FFA battle it would suck. Not much expo's either.

I think that'd be a fun game though. ^^

If your partner is Z and your P/T, that could kinda suck. Force him to build the opposite way, I guess? lol

Yeah! Unabalanced maps are great fun to play, I especially like maps where the starting locations are 'unbalanced/different' like one might have a ramp, another is wide open, one is an island, ect..makes for some really chaotic/creative play

@GI: good taste, 3/4 of your picks are my favs! (dont care for meltdown). I love playing zerg on trench wars, getting fast speedlings/burrow. Then hit the enemy from both sides of his base, burrowing/unborrowing as his units try to save their buildings, haha. So fun ;p

And three kinddoms is kinda what I was talking about with start locations, but I do like them even more unbalanced then that^^

(PS you forgot the map names for the last two ;p)
