If you're Blizzard that's basically the same thing. | ||

I may submit something, but I don't have anything new, and I don't feel compelled to make something anymore. It has nothing to do with me, it's the game that's changing. I don't even make maps (have been interested in trying for years, just never did for what ever reason) and I, too, have noticed how the game is changing just from looking at the new maps. As far as map making goes... which SC2 changes would you say most affected your enthusiasm? | ||

Mostly the insanely powerful air units that render terrain features meaningless. But that's if I had to single out one thing, the state of the game as a whole is something I care about, and my love of mapmaking is connected to it very naturally. If one suffers, so does the other. As such, both are pretty low right now. | ||

If someone submitted a macro map that happens to also have cool high yield usage in the macro category, but it turns out that there are four better macro maps, but that if it had been submitted in the gold base category it would have made it? These categories seem unnecessarily restrictive to the judges. Maybe there will be only 2 good high yield usage base maps, submitted, but more good macro maps. Maybe the fifth rush map will be better than the maps in the other categories.The judges should have free rein over which maps to select, while of course paying attention to the categories outlined by Blizzard; they shouldn't be forced to choose X of this, and Y of that. Add to that, that "haven't seen before" is mostly up for interpretation, and that I don't feel that a map with "cool high yield usage" should necessarily be a map pool mainstay (more something that is nice to have once in a while). It's nice to have categories I guess, but they would have done better as recommendations than categories. I only hope that the judges will get flexibility in numbers per category and moving maps between categories if necessary. edit: Also more importantly, where do middle-of-the-road in between 'rush maps' and 'macro maps' go? If anything that's the most common type of map we've seen. | ||
