The awful state of the current map pool is purposeful. It's not ignorance on their part, it's just that they believe that being able to take a third base on every map is a bad thing. I doubt Blizzard ladder will ever change, and for that reason, it will continue to be worthless. I'm sure you guys on the mapping team have seen some of the alternative ladder systems like NTBL popping up. Rather than trying to convince Blizzard to alter their mindset, it's probably better to support ladders that actual users have control over. | ||

Fact is, people reject Blizzard maps simply because they're Blizzard, and embrace community maps (even awful ones) simply because they aren't Blizzard maps. I wish I could give an anti-signature to this petition. It's one thing to create maps and hope the community embraces them, it's other to insult other peoples' (Blizzard's) work in order to promote your own. | ||

So you're saying the community maps are good enough to appear on the Blizzard ladder? Awesome! TL mappers thank you for your vote of confidence. ^_^ | ||

Meh, you could tell the maps of the top Korean mapmakers apart from Blizzard maps. They tend to experiment more (Less minerals at some bases, rich geysers) and allow for generally easier expansion and longer rush distances, along with less rocks across expansions. | ||

But if you could see which maps allowed close spawns, it would be pretty easy  However, I agree that Blizzard has put out decent maps, aside from DQ, Slag Pits, Scrap Station, and close positions Metal and Shattered. With three downvotes, though, my games as a Zerg turn out okay for the most part. | ||

The defense is that you can veto the maps you don't like but there are not enough vetoes sadly. If anything, you can expect the larger maps (like tal'darim) to be changed or removed. I doubt their mindset will change sadly. They do have a reasonable defense though. If their big concern is lower level players, maybe they should consider adding maps that are for diamond and higher players only. That way the lower players aren't overwhelmed and the higher up players still get what they want. I personally would love for a larger map pool. | ||
