Here's something interesting. I played a while with DQ un-vetoed. I probably played 50 games in mid diamond without getting it. When I finally got a game on it, I was really surprised. I was sure I had vetoed it. So many people veto this map you rarely have to play it even if you don't veto it (in my region and approximate MMR).

I'd also add a note to the OP. After you click to submit your petition on the main page it takes you to the donations page. It's clear that you don't have to donate, but it's hard to tell right away whether you have to click somewhere else to finalize your signature. I almost closed the window without actually adding my signature because I thought it was already confirmed.

Give some instructions. You'll increase the number of signatures you get by eliminating human error.

Browder has said that they don't want ladder maps to be too macroish to scare away low level players. I wouldn't have my hopes up.

If that truly was the case then they could just have different maps for low level players. No they have a pride issue. They like to think that their maps are equally good because hey, they put effort into making them. What they fail to realise is the decisionmakers in the mapmaking team does not have nearly enough game knowledge to contribute with good maps. It's not their fault but they need to stop being stubborn and start listening to the community.

Wow, first map is soo pretty, with an interesting expanding pattern depending on spawns.
Also, like the rocks in the middle of the 2nd map.

I would love to see these maps on ladder one day.

Signed

Also, I wonder if you could get someone to spotlight this so everyone on TL can see this, we can reach almost 10k on our own

This is amazing, I've looked at these maps for like 10 minutes, I can see some minor problems, but they are by far better than the Blizzard maps.

i think we need better maps, it makes NO SENSE AT ALL to hve maps like xel naga caverns where its imposible for zerg to take 3 bases while at the same time its very easy for the others to get 3, 1 of them gold , and hold the middle.. its so easy to deny a zergs 3rd.. just siege of ff, kill the 3rd and back down.. also, theres no way to defend your 3rd or gold, THE CONCAVE IS FOR THE ATTACKER !!!!

Hysteria has so many easy bases, no

edit: they both do, double no.

I'm curious why you think that's a bad thing? In my opinion it's a plus

Someone throw this on screddit and wellplayed too!

I'm also sad that Eighteenth didn't make it in... but I don't know if we're ready for another 3-player map after Testbug and Xel'Naga Fortress, even if Eighteenth is my 2nd fave to Hysteria.

Wow! I really like Sanctuarium. I wonder if blizzard would consider this?

Blizzard ladder isn't probably going to add any maps until they are "proven" much like Tal'darim is a non-Blizz map that got included after the positive feedback it received in GSTL.

I'm okay with this, the Blizzard ladder doesn't have to be the /most/ cutting edge. Consider that people may only play a couple games a week, I'd rather not have them have to get used to the fast rotation of tournament map change.

So basically: if you want maps on blizzard ladder, get them in big tournaments.

The chokes are too easy to defend so early, a turtling terran could very easily take 2 extra bases and probably go unpunished. it's not quite as bad on sanctuarium, but yeah.

With the proximity of expansions, once a push happens and a base goes down, it's highly unlikely the push will able to be stopped.

I'll sign but there is no way in hell blizzard will listen to us. I would recommend playing Not The blizzard Ladder(essentially iccup for sc2)

There's so many GSL maps that are nice, yet the only one that's used is tal'darim. The ones I'd especially like to see on the ladder are dualsite and bel'shir beach. It'd be awesome to have more 2 player maps on the map pool. Especially if blizzard wants casual-noob friendly maps, well 2 player maps are decidedly simpler because of only 1 possible positional spawn.

Honestly, does blizzard really think 4 player maps are the way to go because the argument of noob-friendlyness when regarding 2player vs 4player maps is pretty simple.
