Should Daedalus Point be removed from the map pool?

This poll is kinda flawed, it doesn't give any sort of time frame. Should it be removed for next season? IMO yes. Should blizzard terminate it immediately with extreme prejudice? No

I think the current meta has evolved from strategies that has been viable on standard maps. If all the previous maps would have had ramps like that then the small ramped maps would have been called unfair for zerg. P and T has developed strategies and a meta where they wall off because it was viable on those maps, I myself feel the zerg has had to evolve to handle the unfairness of being unable to wall in like other races previously.

In this meta however it is very unbalanced and I don't think it should be forced to be played in tournaments as important as code A this suddenly but I also think its important to keep evolving the scene. With maps like these early game aggression or all ins would be more logical then macro builds which the meta game is leaning towards at the moment.

I think a good direction for SC2 to go is to more towards playing the map than only playing the matchup. Protoss are having a hard time because they are used to just a few openers that lets them be safe (MSC!) and then branch out towards many different builds. Their standard starts don't work on daedelous though and that means loads of their builds cant be used or has to be tweaked big time. To that adds that no one knows how to really open "safe but greedy" like protoss has learned to do on most other maps. I think this is exactly what sc2 needs, maps where people no longer knows how to open or rather maps where its very unforgiving to just play like you do on all other maps, you NEED to evolve your play.

I really think having non standard maps is a very good thing, and even if Daedalus is not everyone's favorite map blizzard should continue trying out different types of maps.
