Yeah... because Use Map Settings maps are where there is new mechanics right...? Please; just because they add more terrain and line of sight options, doesn't mean that the whole game is gonna suddenly turn into DotA. I think the line of sight obstructing objects and dynamic terrain types add depth. If you don't like it, then don't play maps that have it. Nobody is forcing you to play them... | ||

Am I missing something here? i guess you didn't get around to playing all the fun ums games in starcraft...there were so many and they were so wild blizzard had to in wc3 put in a bunch of wild starcraft ums games into the wc3 campaign... now they are just doing the same thing again i guess, only this time it'll probably be a lot better since it's the second time around that they are doing it. | ||

 Or if you could destroy a barrier/object that let the lava drain away and create a new access point, then it would really just be a 'prettier' way of implementing what's already on many proleague maps, ie. destructable stacked temples, or empty mineral patches. edit - actually, think about the way Outsider changes over time as mineral lines get mined out. Surely lava could create a similar dynamic. | ||

as far as progaming goes, I don't see any real application in terms of temporarily blocking mining. however having this kind of thing say in the middle of the map would significantly change the dynamics and make it a lot more interesting. | ||

Dynamic maps in general I think can add to the game if used appropriately. Currently we already have the game changing as time passes in a match, especially in response to tech. For example, in TvZ, when mutas appear, Terran often plays defensively during this phase of the match. Dynamic maps can also contribute to make different time periods of a match play out differently. As others have mentioned, current professional league maps already try to incorporate some changing-map elements with neutral buildings and the assimilator/geyser "thing". Dynamic maps will allow more interesting versions of such ideas, and in a more natural manner. | ||

I mean, you could say that it would mean attacking during lava rising is ideal because A: your opponent will have his attention split and B: He won't be able to reinforce his troops but... Then it's over, that's all the 'strategy' you added and it doesn't even sound interesting. Just a bunch of forced lapses in macro. Maybe if SCVs automatically went to high ground at the last second, or lava could occasionally block normal unit paths unrelated to macro, it would be cool, but just some dumb thing that makes you pull your SCVs every 2 minutes as an added kind of artificial apm is boring and uninteresting. Keep it on the Blizz maps for games with friends, but not in anything like Proleague. | ||
