Not a big fan of many of these, but I'll say orbital shipyard is my favorite out of the bunch

Dusk feels old school, I get a Shakuras Plateau vibe from it, which is nice, because I loved shakuras

Ruins yields my highest win rate but I find Dusk the more standard of the bunch. I like Dusk despite my low win rate on it. As a Zerg though.. Orbital is my least favorite of them all. I find it really hard to defend a fourth base vT on that map.

Honestly, These maps went into the right direction. But I feel that it's becoming a trend, where they are going to the bathroom, and deciding whatever comes out is a map.

I really hate saying things like this, but c'mon. Back rocks(to your main) on a 4 player map with LARGE spaces at every other base. I stand by my statements and vulgarity to them.

i'm surprised so many people like dusk towers. it's very linear and very turtly, with 1 ground path to the enemy, and 1 location where you can effortlessly defend 4 bases.

for my "favorite" map i can't decide between ulrena, central protocol, and prion terraces. none of the maps in the pool are particularly well made (they are blizz maps after all), but these 3 each all push the boundaries of mapmaking in a big way, which mapmakers have been wanting from blizz for a long time. so i have to give them points for creativity and originality, even if the execution falls flat.

ideally lerilak crests would also make the list for experimentation with a 2 entrance nat, but it's just so terribly executed, with significant rotational imbalance, and minimal effort put into decoration and appearance.
vibeo gane,

How is Ulrena scoring so well :S

Maybe it's just that original Steppes of War exhausted all my desire for "one of those kind of games." That or scrap station.

Dusk Towers is my favorite map in terms of aesthetics, but Ruins has given me some of my best games (win or lose) in LotV so far.

Got to say though, the map pool is pretty farcical at this point. This is what happens when Blizz designs all the maps in the pool.

Not a fan of Ruins of Seras.

I really like Central Protocol, I hope we see more maps with the same tileset.

I'm liking Dusk Towers more and more because it seems like every game I watch on it gets really funky.

Dusk Tower's ledge on the 4th is fun to abuse with tank, lib, scan as T.

Dusk Towers -> Orbital Shipyard -> Prion Terraces -> Ruins of Seras -> Ulrena -> Lerilak Crest -> Central Protocol
Tossup between Prion and Ruins but It feels like Prion is less abused by mobility. The last two I voted out of the map pool.

Central Protocol is visually appealing, but awful in design.

Reserving my judgement until more games but so far Ruins of Seras imo.
Feels like Shak Plateau with features in the middle of the map.

Ulrena is a really good map for widow mines on choke points but there are two other routes to get to ur opponents base so adepts and zerglings are really good here because of mobility

I like Ulrena. The rest of the map pool is either uninteresting, or just imbalanced.

A lot of the reason is other maps being terrible for T and especially P sometimes

Ruins of Seras is the most "standard" map to me, with 4 postions and not inner expansion, a small ramp from main to natural, etc.

All in All I feel it is the best map to play, followed maybe by Orbital Shipyard...

I have to admit I voted Ulrena just to see if it would make me the 1%. It's around my 3rd as a preference because it still gets me pumped for some reason ^_^ Apparently people actually find it an appealing map after all!

I understand this poll is around for so long because the maps were, too. But maek a new one already! Eg. "What building should get a new unit to produce?" or "What unit should be buffed?" or "Which foreigner is gonna win a map at the next Blizzcon Global Finals?" or "Who is the best foreign Terran?"
