Another taldarim forced 4gate on an otherwise brilliant multi base map? I loved that map looking at it, but the realization that it has no ramp is soul crushingly bad for no real reason. Double choke, cant forcefield, and even if you could the lack of lack of vision would let you break any robo play with warping past forcefields. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/42hQn.jpg) | ||

Good thing about non-Blizzard maps is that they can change it. There needs to be a ramp...it breaks PvP not to have one. If maps are discredited for being broken in non-mirror matchups (eg 75% TvZ), they should be discredited for major flaws in mirrors as well imo. | ||

But it is a shame that every map must have a ramp for just one match-up when all the other ones work fine. Maybe they should look for a creative solution to the problem. (Random crazy idea, destructible xelnaga tower nearby that blocks opponents warp ins around your base and blows up after a set time. Only spawns in pvp matchups) | ||

Only spawns in pvp matchups) Its a shame, but blizzard have shown over the course of the last year and a half that they have no idea how to rebalance 4gate. They increased research time, made units take less time to build from regular gateways, reversed the change for everything but sentries, lowered research time again, made immortals have 20% more range, changed ramp vision and probably other shit im forgetting, they wrote a post like they came up with this magical 4gate fix back before the 140-180sec nerf, and then had to undo it all on PTR because toss was 15nexusing every matchup and still holding everything thrown at them. Without the ramp pvp is doomed, with it, it is often painful to watch and play because of coin flippyness between openings... People are innovating now (SaSe) but it is a very difficult matchup to work with, and without the ramp there is no hope. To quote HuK, "You cant do anything on this fucking map" in a taldarim 4gate situation where he killed his opponent when he threw down a twilight council at like 8-9 minutes and got slightly disadvantaged in stalker count | ||
