Can someone explain why cliff surface area is such a big deal. It's way more complex than that. I feel like I missed something or everyone is overreacting.

Not trying to pick on you fatam I just wanted to bring it up. <3

It's a personal preference thing. Rain vs. Parting a few days ago in WCS Asia is a good example of why it can be dumb. Or to go back a bit, check out Genius vs. Naniwa in last season's GSL (in both instances the map was Cloud Kingdom). Blink stalkers get a little silly with too much surface area to play around with, and people tend to go blink stalkers most of the time on these maps, which can make for less variety in games.

But some people don't have a problem w/ seeing blink stalkers all the time, so like I said it's just a matter of opinion.

blink rush will become even more prevalent in hots because you dont have to go robo, momshipcore gives you vision. ive been experiencing the pain of this the past week in the beta :[

I guess that's something you can criticize on every second map. What's important is how far from the cliff is the mineral line, and how fast can the defender move between main&nat compared to the attacker.

This is more how I feel. There are a lot of subtler considerations that affect the dynamics of blink as a tactical and a strategic choice. I think maybe people who aren't intimately familiar with high level pvp overreact to seeing a whole army jump into a main base? idk.

It's definitely true that it can almost force players to go blink, which should be avoided ofc. However you have to reflect that if you prolong the part of the game defined by blink harass / contain, you begin to open up more variations in playing without colossus. Although I wouldn't want the latter at the cost of former, but a happy balance is great.
