+ Show Spoiler + Including Genius bossing it up with 12 carriers I look forward to more maps like that in the future, instead of the two base all-in maps we have now. Hopefully we can figure out maps well enough that we can get our own Fighting Spirit. | ||

How important maps are in bw is actually one of the reasons I don't play it still. I go back and load up iccup every so often and when I don't feel like playing on python every game I don't know any of the maps :[ | ||

I don't think balance is really the main reason metal sucks. It's more that we've been playing on it for a very long time and every other blizzard map sucks in comparison. Which is sad, in a way. | ||

In my opinion this thread is counterproductive. Stats just say it all. The stats talk better than anything else and offer the best arguments for any point anyone wants to make so I don't understand what this thread wants me/us to talk about. The maps that are out now? Why are they imba or not imba? New maps that are not yet known? Race balance? Overall i guess OP just wanted to tell us maps matter in e-sports. The biggest problem related to maps is directly linked to the infrastructure blizzard gives us, so we can't do anything about that. Im not trying to say anything negative on purpose about anyone/anything but I just don't understand this thread. Maybe I'm just stupid. I apologise. | ||

I think that maps might have an even bigger effect on balance in sc2 for reasons such as balls ect. Wide open spaces vs narrow alleys make alot of difference. Most maps today are pretty narrow and a change of that would be interesting, if it works is another questions. | ||

The OP only posted some light trivia about maps and some stats and unconciously encourages us to start trolling each other based on race. While terrans will ask for smaller maps, zerg will ask for larger ones and protoss will say larger ones but with alot of chokes. After that everyone will just troll each other while screaming that collosus is imba in chokes, terran is imba in small maps, zerg is imba in open large maps.

This sort of map analysis has a fairly long tradition in BW as it is often thought that better maps was the last piece that balanced BW. The difference is how well certain races did was often dependent on whether the maps themselves were balanced. Some really terrible ones got put in and were pulled after one season to be never seen again. Of course, what was even more epic was when a top player would dominate on a map not favouring their race. | ||
