I even think a six month period as prodiG suggest is too long for a map to stay in the pool. I'd much rather have it be like 3-4 months max. I'm feeling Shakuras and Tal'Darim are starting to get really boring and they need to be replaced in my opinion. And I think GSL is doing the right thing updating the map pool so often, it makes the game a lot more interesting. Also it creates something new and excitingly unknown about a new season if it's played on a new set of maps. Announcing a new season with new maps is exciting for me as a spectator, makes it feel like something a bit more significant rather than just an exact copy of last season. If all seasons are played on same maps, whats the point in having new seasons? | ||

Have you made it your life long goal to piss on everyone else's achievements in the mapmaking community? Everytime I see you post it seems to be some form of smug snide remark at someone being rewarded with something that you weren't. If you want to be respected or appreciated in this community you need to get over your stupid entitlement issues and accept that people will be rewarded for more than just their dedication to mapmaking, and that just because you've spent X amount of hours or whatever the fuck doesn't make you automatically entitled to the respect and adoration of the community. TL;DR Grow up. | ||

I stand by what I said. If there legitimately are people out there who think this "is one of the best maps" then the community's baseline for map quality is at an all-time low and the fact that it's so hard to get custom maps into tournaments is completely ass-backwards. + Show Spoiler + On November 27 2011 21:51 funcmode wrote: Quit mapmaking for 6 months -> get a community interview.

Almost every ZvT a map is played on Xel Naga or Shattered Temple, I just feel like the MLG map pool is really boring and generic with so many slightly adjusted ladder maps in the pool.

If all seasons are played on same maps, whats the point in having new seasons? I'm inclined to agree. The main reason I suggested six months is to ease people into a format where maps are constantly being changed. 3-4 months would work great but at the moment that would be such a drastic change for the community the backlash would be huge. | ||

Indeed lol, I think its only you. Metalopolis is one of the best Blizzard maps- we have a TON of community maps that are much better. | ||

I doubt the only one, but it's just not that great a map and after a year and a half, I'm fucking sick of it | ||

I kinda see people wanting Metalopolis to stay in the game not because Meta is good, but Blizzard map makers are terrible and simply aren't improving, I mean after all the time they've had to learn about map making they decide to bring out slag pits, people are scared because new Blizzard maps could entail 1,000,000 new ways to abuse siege tanks. If people knew that GSL/ICCUP mapmakers were making the maps it would be a completely different story.

There's this place called battle.net which is full of posters like you, I think you'd fit right in. | ||
