Good changes. I am also for removing watchtowers, especially those that provide vision of basically everything.

I don't think removing watchtowers from all maps is reasonable, but ya, some maps just don't seem to need them. Abaddon Blaze is one of those maps IMO.

I really like this map from what I've seen of it so far, however I do hold the opinion that close ground spawns could probably be eliminated.

About the towers, I think maps are succeeding without towers because the metagame is very stable these days. I can't think of any major new timings that have been introduced lately and the scouting required to react is pretty well understood. The towers will be very important in HotS for mitigating the wild west of new types of attacks. Not really relevant for this map in particular but I just wanted to share my two cents. I think it's a fine change here.

Towers are cool, a token tower in the centre of the map that does exactly nothing except giving you 5 more seconds to respond to an attack are useless. If you add bushes it adds some strategic element of ambush which is kind of cool.

I feel towers are best used in combination with los blockers or high ground to create an interesting strategic position.

You can never go wrong with forcing cross spawn, as cross is always bound to work out (unless a map is REALLY messed up). That said, one of the key interests with this map is the presence of adjacent spawning locations. In Wings of Liberty, we've nearly eliminated the concept for anything outside of huge, 160x160ish maps, which I think is a real shame.

While some maps, like Antiga Shipyard, had to be forced into cross-only due to abusive terrain features and consequential rush distances (you only had to travel half the width/height of the map to start elevating into an opponent's main), the only time that's an issue here is when someone accidentally expands toward their opponent. We did see that for one unfortunate game during the recent iMpulse $100 tournament, but that player quickly corrected themselves after getting punished for it (though it was too late for them to salvage a victory in the end).

I wouldn't mind a super large map that has all spawns but cross spawn to limit the rush distance, would be an interesting twist.
