 I'm terran, I love KR for it's size and layout, though at the same time can't vote for it since they really need to do something about the nat cliff(gold cliff I feel is fine, gold comes at a price ). So yer I voted best for LT. Really love that map, gives all races some potential, cliff for terran, lots of ways for flanks around the middle for zerg, lots of sneaky places for toss + easy FE for zerg/toss and island for terran.DO is my most hated because it's just so shit to play. Meta I also hate, but it's more about the darkness of it(same reason I disliked incineration) though I think the nat should not be so wide open even if the general theme of the map is open areas. | ||

DO is more like a fun map, bad for competitive, good for spectating. Steppes is alright except its really small. I hate LT just because of that cliff. I've lost a ridiculous # of games just because of backdoor on blistering(i hate this map). Scrapp is.... same as DO imo. Kulas was imba in zvt. As zerg, I hated this map. Incineration zone.. this map was so ridiculously imbalanced, thank god they took it out quick. | ||

Steppes of War - TvZ is also horrible, way to easy to just push to the lower ground near the expo and siege up (you can hit the expo) Scrap Station - Hate it, too many narrow pathways (somewhat favours myself as I play Terran but still bad for balance) Blistering Sands - easy to break backdoor... just no... really forces aggressive 1 base openings I really think the current map pool has too many narrow spaces/pathways, I think a lot of balance issues can be attributed to the maps | ||

they had at least lt in it for a while, but took it out. now there's pretty much not a single decent map | ||

However, I always liked Lost Temple, though of it to be a straight forward map with multiple possibilities. Even though Metalopolis is considered the most balanced map, I honestly really dislike the map, especially since tanks can hit high yield from the watch tower. Valleys can be really annoying against storms, colossus, fungal growth, and tanks as well. | ||

Worst: Desert Oasis. Horrible map. The natural is vulnerable from two wide open fronts, the mains are too vulnerable to drop/harass from the back cliff, and the ground distances between the basis are way too far apart for a 1v1 map. | ||

Is it because your minerals/gas skyrockets to 2000 when you're on 2 bases? | ||

The maps Desert Oasis and Scrap Station promote air rush battles, which I think is terrible. Scrap Station is hard to expand on and devalues macro games. | ||

LT would be equivalently balanced if they took out the tank/thor cliff. Considering I'm zerg I feel I'm pretty neutral when it comes to map balance discussion, since I did vote DO as worst map | ||

on LT its impossible to fast expand because of that cliff. on KR its also impossible because reapers/thor/blink stalkers will kill your expand. the other maps are so small that terran mech is much too strong. there is often no way to surround the mech forces. | ||

i like 4 player maps rather than 1v1 maps (being a terran player and not liking to be cheesed/rushed the shit out of) worst: Desert Oasis, the natural is just ridiculous, followed by Blistering Sands and that fucking backdoor | ||

That said, I'm assuming Incineration Zone wasn't on the list because it was removed from the final portion of the beta, but for most of it I had deal with that god-awful abortion of a map. So that's my "write-in" for worst. | ||

 ). But for now I like scrap station because it promotes different strategies but unlike desert oasis it doesn't shove it down your throat. It also deters rushing a bit and I love that. I don't like kolas ravine because the whole map has no real flow to combat. It can lead to macro games but it normally feels like the whole map is cluncky with the way high and low ground is, and the cliffs just don't make it fun. | ||
