Most players get the bulk of their practice through ladder, so of course they don't want a different map pool. Even in the GSL where players play a lot more customs, the non-ladder maps are picked less. One way Blizzard could improve (though not solve) the situation would be to increase the number of maps on ladder to something like 11, so that tournaments could pick a subset of those maps for their map pool. This also allows tournaments to avoid significantly imbalanced maps. Besides with the increased prevalence of Bo5s in LotV, a map pool size increase would be welcome. | ||

Adding more maps to ladder might impact matchmaking? | ||

Since the number of vetoes is less than half the map pool every player has at least a map that overlaps with every other player. So you just get matched against the opponent and then it chooses a map both players have. | ||

And when playing mech its 100% neccesary that you have a critical mass of hellbats (+ widow mines?) so you don't die to Zealots because that gets snowballed very fast. It's better to have slightly too few tanks than slightly too few antizealot-units. So that might be a composition-adjustment issue that players needs to figure out. It will definitely be exciting to follow the scene and I am sure blizzard will make balance adjustments if mech is still too weak. | ||
