Get balanced maps. Period. I like the idea of RoV instead of 815 but i dunno if its balanced. N i love island map but again i dunno any balanced ones | ||

Give it one round so that we can all become familiar with it and play on it then you can change it next round. People who have been playing BW on and off for a while might've played 815 before and are already familiar with how awful it is to play on that map. | ||

And keeping a disliked map for an entire season won't sit well with players, as the community tends to be a bit impatient with change. sorry, seasons.

I've never played on it before but I like the idea that its not a standard map, that it promotes non-standard play. I also would like to play on as many different maps as possible. | ||

You start with a main. 9 mineral patches, 1 5000 gas geyser. Cool. Leaving the main you have a ramp. The ramp allows these units to pass through it: Drone, Zergling, Hydralisk, SCV, Marine, Medic, Firebat, Ghost Probe, Zealot, High Templar Every other ground unit in BW is unable to walk through this ramp. This means that all macro buildings other than Barracks or air production need to be built outside of your main unless you want to have an airdrop fleet that costs as much as your army. Leaving that travesty behind, you have a natural expansion. Natural expansion only has 6 mineral patches, no geyser, and is completely wide open. Alright... what about the other bases? Every other base is an air expansion with 6 minerals and 5000 gas via 1 regular geyser or 2 half-geysers. Wtf is this 2 half-geyser shit? We aren't here to play SC2. Ahem. So what does this all mean? I'll leave balance aside because people can make their own conclusions via TLPD stats and VODs. My opinion is that all of these features make the map not fun to play, especially for low-level players. You made a Dragoon in your main? Sorry, that guy is gonna be useless until you spend 200 minerals and a lot of APM shuttling his fat ass out. You have a build predicated on a 2nd gas? Have fun spending a few hundred gas to secure an air expo unless you want to sneak a main. You only have 100 apm? Well, half of that is gonna go to transporting units around in dropships. | ||

I'm not sure what everyone else likes but I think they'll make for some fun scrappy game. Ya, that transportation bit is annoying and I agree with you there. I still think several games on it then having a vote can't be a bad thing since it does force a different style of play but that's my opinion  | ||

As for RoV, it's far from being balanced in that Zerg owns Protoss on that map... Not that I mind... >.> And Lmaster HAS talked about taking out 815, so why're we having another rant/debate about why this or that is wrong...? | ||
