As a protoss I don't like this new map pool at all. The thirds are quite spread out on several of them with lots of space around them which makes defensive posturing against stuff like mass roach busts difficult. Tank pushes seem quite strong on some of them (the third on the disco map comes to mind. It has that narrow choke they can park tanks outside of). I don't know if it's just the tile set or what, but my FPS on that disco map is also noticeably lower than on other maps. It was the same for turbo cruise so that makes me think it is partly the tileset. | ||

OK im not alone, yes it's the tileset that lower the fps and i REALLY hate it, plz mapmakers consider it when making a map dont go with 50000 particles effect or whatever because it hinder lower end pc and i just veto maps litteraly just because of this ( turbo cruise and disco exactly like ben ). | ||

So since Mass BC and lategame Zerg are broken, protoss is gonna suffer on the following months/years/centuries I'll set up a tank flank, then kappa. Siege tanks seem almost useless for offence, too far to travel and too easy to get flanked and surrounded with lots of open spaces. Even good siege locations when you finally get there seem sparse. Maybe drops are ok?? | ||

It currently has no flow. + Show Spoiler + While I'd tend to agree that Disco Bloodbath's middle lacks flow and results in excessive (48 seconds) rush distances, adding an opening like that absolutely wrecks the map. Most of the other passages lose their purpose and armies just run straight down the middle. | ||

It wants the players to use the outside so it disallows traveling through the middle. Other maps see movement around the outside and still have a path through the middle. You need both to make the map dynamic.This is what gives it no flow. What pushes movement to the outside is the big army in the middle of it and the fact that the bases are out there. You don't need to restrict the middle so much. Maps with passage straight down the middle (e.g Catalyst) generally try to make it so there's a tradeoff to going through the shortest path to avoid completely invalidating the passages to either side of it. Here there's very little reason to go anywhere other than through the middle (excepting for backstabs and runbys). | ||

This is usually avoided because of automatic pathing - two armies would naturally pass eachother and lead to basetrade scenarios more often than not (except at the highest levels). | ||
