How bout you fix Searing Crater next?  http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=254290#1 I took a crack at it, more major than widening a gap, but I think it turned out rather well.

I like the small touches here and there, especially the super ultra radical baller doodads and the broken pipe. Fixing the mains and thirds is just a bonus I think.  | ||

I still absolutely don't like this map without cross spawns tho: When you spawn with your blocked ramp at the third towards the gold it's way way easier to take the gold as a central fourth, which is really good for toss and especially terran (like the xel'naga caverns gold). So imho in certain matchups in certain spawning positions it favors the player who spawns lower left/upper right to much while there is -nothing- that lower right/upper left gets in return. One should be really careful about mixing rotational symmetry with a mirrored middle cause it doubles the amount of spawn possiblities and makes it that much harder to balance everything correctly. Imo this map doesn't do it right, so without forced cross spawn I will consider it a so-so map that we have to use cause of Blizzard's stupidity. I'm quite radical when it comes to discussing Blizz maps atm. Imo we should just let them be stupid and fail so tournaments switch to good (custom) maps faster. | ||

Imo this map doesn't do it right, so without forced cross spawn I will consider it a so-so map that we have to use cause of Blizzard's stupidity. having a rotational symmetry without fixed spawns creates an immbalance that is for sure. even worse though are central bases that are purely winner's bases which can not be taken at the same time by both players. winner's bases might be okay as a singular base, you have map control > you get the gold > you win, but adding two golds that are really difficult to hold for various setups (TvZ) create further imbalances. conclusion for me is that mixing two symmetries in the centre is not that bad actually, but having bad base setups there makes it worse. on the changes: i think it is good, but nothing big gameplaywise. I'd love to see bigger changes to blizzard's maps. we might see this in an upcoming mapping challenge. aesthetically a very well made map now. small and nice details and extra touches that make it so much better. | ||

in the other 3 locations this is not the case, and a protoss is able to do a tight walloff with a nexus forge and gateway, with a pylon powering from behind. im wondering if u could (if u havnt already) change the top right position somehow so that it matches with the other 3 locations. | ||
