it would be neat if blizzard had a way that we could vote on the best 1v1 maps that werent in the ladder or have pro players pick 5 maps that they wanted in the pool and use that to add a few new maps in :O edit: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2743686312#1 suggested it \o/ | ||

If Blizzard makes new maps, I accept the challenge. Unless they dramatically improve their concepts, aesthetics, and balance, it'll always be easy to tell. However, the true point is to get good maps into tournaments, not just remove Blizzard maps. For example, the OP/Petition clearly states that there are good Blizzard maps like Metalopolis. This point is to remove bad ones and replace them with these community maps.

I wish I could give an anti-signature to this petition. What? How about XelNaga Caverns (one, if not the most popular sc2 map)? What about all of love for Shakuras Plateau? I don't hear anybody begging for them to be removed from the ladder.

When is Blizzards work insulted? Insult - in·sult/inˈsəlt/ Speak to or treat with disrespect or scornful abuse. iGrok only mentions in the petition that there are currently bad maps in the map pool. This is a fact of the map, not disrespect towards Blizzard. The promotion is justified; the proposed maps are much better than some of those in the current ladder. | ||

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. but the expansions are easy for all races. terran and protoss benefit from the chokes, and zerg benefits from not having to make a ton of units to kill some fucking rocks (I fucking hate rocks) in order to expand. you don't always have to punish an expansion, you can often just expand yourself I agree that the proximity of expansions leads to this, but so does having small maps and both of these maps are relatively large compared to some blizz maps. also, having far away, impossible to defend expansions doesn't help the gameplay much either since you're forced into low econ allins :S | ||

I didn´t sign this because apart from the Blizzard Map pool this seems like an agenda from someone to get their maps recognized, which is fine I suppose but I feel its latching on that people want tourney maps for the ladder and basically asks for their maps to be included in other tournaments. But I guess its hard for new map makers to make a name for themeselves, only iccup and GSL maps seem to get any recognition | ||

I don't hear anybody begging for them to be removed from the ladder. actually... xel naga and shakuras aren't really amazing, although they're far, far better than some of the other maps blizz has made. xelnaga is very, very hard to win zvt when terran takes the gold, and shakuras is full of chokes so zvp is pretty hard. that said, there are probably some zerg favoured ones in there that my bias is hiding (shattered temple maybe?) and the advantage given by the maps is very small. but they aren't perfect by any means. | ||

In fact, none of the Map of the Month maps are mine. However, I'm doing everything I can to promote these maps, because I feel like they are the absolute best that the TL community has made.
