Arkanoid fucking sucks. It's just plain godawful and boring. Blitz seemed to have balanceissues the first season, and now it may be more balanced, but less fun. Desert fox again look like another godawful map. Longinus looks fine I guess still. They're replacing a decent map like Tau Cross with DF or RT? Okay, I can see that the new peaks has played out it's role, but it provided some decent games as well. | ||

Isn't Boxer supposed to play Reverse Temple in the MSL Survivor Round 1? OMG what's wrong with me. First the DoGGi thread and now this. I got the shared maps wrong. Shared maps are Longinus 2 and Reverse Temple. Oddly, they were chosen because of their balance.... (it's odd because Longius was a T favored map, and Reverse Temple looks shady to me) So it actually looks like this OSL: Longinus II, Reverse Temple, Neo Arkanoid, Hitch Hiker MSL: Longinus II, Reverse Temple, Blitz X, Desert FoX | ||

To me it looks like one huge imba waiting to happen, interesting to see how pros adapt. Yea, I also wondered why they decided to do the naturals in the old LT style with it up against the cliffs rather than the updated LT. That can't help balance any. | ||

None of the better players ever did it. | ||

None of the better players ever did it. the difference is y ou were on low ground there, high ground gives you a bigger advantage, you wont even need an ebay. And good players did it a long tim eago, and then it stopped because protoss players figured out how to stop it with goons and such, and tvt it still worked just not early game | ||

Perhaps they think it's more fun if game are decided due to positional and racial imbalances instead of skill, but I surely don't. It's not like it's a casual pub map anymore. | ||

With the old LT there was issues with ramps since they could only face two directions. With this remedied, I don't get it why they don't just mirror 12 and 6 "correctly". Perhaps they think it's more fun if game are decided due to positional and racial imbalances instead of skill, but I surely don't. It's not like it's a casual pub map anymore. its not always decided due to positional imbalance, it just dictates how you play sort of and that can be fun. | ||
