No. E-sports, tournaments, organizers, and players want competitive 1v1 maps. There are a few people, who are merely players, who say "we want more team maps." Which one sounds more demanding? | ||

Beside the cycle theory, I think that trying to make 2v2 maps might be fun and new no? it is a completely different thing then 1v1 maps, and that is interesting to balance. Since there are so little 2v2 maps, you can easily create a unique map that has cool features, and is still better then the current pool! you can experiment alot if you like, since your almost certain of getting a decent map out. At last there is always a demand, even if small for competitive 2v2 maps, since there are already small 2v2 tournaments, and of course there are the clan wars which require a Bo3 series of 2v2 (atleast the ones I played in), so if there will be good 2v2 maps, you will have a place to publish them, and you are almost certain to get your map in! | ||

Although the layouts aren't great, at least there are a decent amount of bases. Rush distances are similar to most of the current 2v2 ladder maps, but on the higher end of the scale (think Discord, not Boneyard). I don't know, just an idea. | ||

Well, except for High Ground.) Although the layouts aren't great, at least there are a decent amount of bases. Rush distances are similar to most of the current 2v2 ladder maps, but on the higher end of the scale (think Discord, not Boneyard). I don't know, just an idea. I think High Ground might work for this if you just changed the middle a bit (no gold bases, make it less death-trappy) | ||

As you see it is a cycle, you bring good maps (no need for excellent maps like in 1v1, where only the best maps are used), and then people see 2v2 has better games, then there is bigger demand since there are more tournaments with 2v2 and it goes on.

I agree. And I am a 100% sure that there are 2v2 map designs that would produce interesting games, but what blizzard has in their polls is very far from that. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=309673 Unfortunately most of the maps in the current 2v2 map pool feature close rush distances with wide open naturals. I wish Blizzard would consider just increasing the size of 2v2 maps, I think this would go a long way to improving the league. If map size was increased, then we wouldn't run into the "You have to have center control to take a third" problem that most 2v2 maps have. There's many maps, like scorched haven, where one team having a third excludes the other team from having a third. I do not think that shared bases are a necessity for macro 2v2 maps. Half of the current 2v2 ladder maps where present in season one. More than anything, this shows that Blizzard doesn't really care about team games. I was once a top 8 masters 2v2 player, but now I hardly even bother to play 2v2s, because of the map pool and meta game. | ||

 it is has almost no texturing for right now (Except for a cave I colored  ) so don't be harsh on me. Here it is:+ Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/EqzwI.jpg) I have a spot for 2 more expansions for each team, but I don't think it is really needed. Anyways the playable bounds are 188x164 | ||

The middle might be a little too open though. Also maybe through some minerals at the top and bottom centers where there is nothing there. I would really have to play it to get a better feel for it. | ||

Anwyays about the middle I though since it is a 2v2 it better be open, but if after playing it, it seems very open I will change it. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.mediafire.com/conv/e29131267ff2121d3a88da3cd1e0e816275e2cf71d9c3e3c68b10c0a3034b89d4g.jpg) This is my 2v2 map. I'm not an artist so it doesn't look that good. Regarding the map size and style; it has two easy naturals, thirds and was constructed with an anti a click one base mind set. It is hosted as "NightbreakLE" or "Nightbreak" (One of the two) Again, i am not an artist so i know it looks pathetic compared to the maps in the map pool but I wanted to make a map that was more macro oriented and would maybe help a 2v2 game go past the 10 minute mark without having to take your natural expo after you have one based for the first 10 minutes. Feedback is appreciated! Thanks, rndmMusliM | ||

I'm worried that defender's advantage might simply be too great with this setup. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/UvA9Y.jpg) | ||

One more thing, what is the distance between the natural ramps? it seems awfully short... | ||
