Its hard to produce the perfect map, since that doenst exist if you look at the races. If you ask 50 terrans, 50 toss and 50 zergs seperately, you get totally different results. | ||

Although SC2's mechanics don't really allow worker skipping. | ||

Also, against terran when they do large drops of 2+ medevacs you have to send such a large army to kill it. With stim and med evacs sending too little can be fatal, sending to much means it could be a diversion to snipe your natural. Either case can cost you the game, losing key tech in the main or losing your natural. Mutas are just difficult because they keep you pinned and allow zerg to become greedy. The only anti air splash is storm, which takes a long time to get out so your stalkers will then be free to push out. Phoenix and blink stalkers can deal with it, if zerg goes for that huge muta ball however storm is the only really cost effective way to deal with it and be able to move out. It just costs to much to make that many cannons, stalkers and phoenix which wont help you be aggressive when they have a giant ling ball too. | ||

e.g. 4 way symmetrical in every way, rotation symmetry, LT/Metalopolis type. Although it's kind of boring since no one will pick rotational symmetry even though it can potentially be worked very nicely into a map. and then rush distances from main/main and nat/nat. | ||

I think you kinda nailed it... the amount of detail put into a (good) map is far far more than a poll can determine. These polls are more like "What are the features of the ideal map?". By the way, Lost Temple and Metalopolis are reflection symmetry. I believe they used this symmetry to avoid lawsuits over maps looking like swasticas (happened in BW). Their new map Backwater Gulch uses rotational symmetry, but is asymmetrical in the middle two golds; curious? | ||

Some things never change macromacromacromacromacro. It's probably just because there are so many SC2 maps that have such fast games already. A lot of people want something different I'm not surprised at the polls either lolCall the map "Team Liquid Request" | ||

People want to take their easy bases, then make a huge army, and then smash it into another huge army. Where's the finesse? I still love Lost Temple's cliffs  | ||

Judging by the number of anti-cheese threads we've seen, I'd make an educated guess and say that most people don't like to worry about any sort of hidden plays, trickery, all-in builds, or anything other than "standard macro" strategies when they actually play the game. Of course, it's amazing to watch when Boxer or other pros would do interesting things in SC1... | ||

Ontopic, it seems the perfect map is like the opposite of Blizzard typical map, which does not surprize me very much. Seriously, something like terminus RE is REALLY good to me. But turning the gold into normal expos and removing rocks will benefit the map. | ||

all zerg can do is build an early pool while protoss and especially terran will benefit alot more from exploitable map features like highgrounds at the natural, places to hide proxy pylons and buildings, etc. but in theory those are nice things to have because they make a boring map more interesting | ||
