I have a winning record on KCK, still hate it so much that I banned it. Just doesn't feel good to play on, and I think there was a reason why 8 player maps hadn't found their way into the map pool.

Frozen Temple is okay, I guess, but feels bad as Protoss because of the surface area on your main and how difficult the third base is to take.

Invader is an awful map. Don't really know what else to say.

I think Ruins, though, is great. It's not as absurdly difficult to take a third on as Frozen, but a very hard pressure from your opponent can still make things dicey when taking a third. I also like that once the four bases on the choke are taken, games on Ruins usually end up turning into crazy long macro games. Natural is a bit awkward, but I still enjoy it.

Frozen temple is quite nice, the rest is pretty bad. I banned both korhal and invader but I have to keep my last ban for Prion Terraces so I kept ruins of endion even though it's not the greatest map.

What's with star2 maps?
Seems they're hated more than not.
There's so few liked maps.

Ruins is kind of playable as protoss, so that I guess.

I like frozen the most. For all matchups, I really like drop play ZvT on ruins. Though I feel like invader especially with the bugged gold makes me sad.

I'm not even going to vote. I wish blizzard was stop trying to be so fancy with maps. Not surprising that the most defensive , maps again wins polls. Frozen temple will be voted by terrans and zergs, Endion by protosses.

I actually find them OKish, at least playable, except for KCK which is a joke.

Korhal fucking blows. I like the other 3 quite a bit, but Frozen and Endion are my favs.

Frozen feels pretty nice but expanding past a certain point is weird

Endion - pretty good, but the map and UI has a bright orange tint that makes it annoying to play on

X!!

Ruins of Endion feels like, as Tasteless would say, a boxing match in a phone booth.

I like Frozen Temble and Ruins of Endion is alright. Hate the other 2.

The maps are symmetrical based on Unit Balance in battle, etc.....
but I wonder if play on assymetrical maps wouldn't still work out.

Frozen is an interesting map, especially with the rocks at the third. Other than that, the maps aren't great, I'm confused how Prion stayed in the map pool, it's just so bad.
