Impossible to say without generalizing a lot, but a rough estimate would be nice :p I can beat the AI most of the time and am still learning.. I'm ranked in gold. When I play Hard AI, I usually beat it no problem. Very Hard beats me a little less than half of the time. So I'd call Very Hard around Gold. | ||

I am a Zerg player I hate metalopolis. People say it's the zerg favored map, but I think this is a fabricated myth. 1/3 of the layouts suck for zerg. Being vertical positions is absolutely terrible for expanding. Worse than any other map in the pool except maybe DO. Then on top of that the main is a wide open layout with no real choke. Defending it vs timing pushes with spine crawlers is really difficult and will easily run you a couple hundred extra minerals at the very least. I also notice this in top players. Mid beta every zerg would counter-pick metalopolis. Later in the beta I noticed it much less so with Zerg picking maps like Steppes of War instead. Perhaps it was because of things like downvoting a map, but typically I'd expect maps like Kulas & DO to be down voted. I remember when someone published win % for each race on each map based on ladder data. Metalopolis was one of the lowest win %s for zerg. Later revised data had it at an even win %, but it still seems like it's no better than the other maps for zerg. Anyways not topic worthy, but I felt the need to shout that I'm a zerg player and I hate playing on metalopolis. Xel-Naga caverns is even worse =/. | ||

Personally I like the 4 player one, but really dislike the 2 player one. Both of them have increadibly open naturals, but at least on the 4 player one you can destroy the rocks and take that base as your first expo if you want. | ||

Open naturals seem pretty zerg unfriendly, but the 4 player map at least has that other expansion and the natural really close to the ramp. | ||

I had an idea that EMP should not deal "damage" to the shields but rather just "change" the value to 0. This is a very soft nerf and it would still make EMP a great skill. Does any1 agree with me? I'm unsure about the galaxy editor terminology but in wc3 the difference would be Damage/HP removal I think.. If that is the way it works right now... then I'm stupid ^_^ Do you mean it would be like when EMP decloaks a unit? The shields would go down to 0 for the duration of the emp, then jump back to full? | ||

Why not feedback the ghosts? Also, I think storms need a nerf and so do collosus, When the game is over, I decide to click on the collosus to see how mad I get, usually they have 20+ kills each, I was ahead the whole game and then they make 6 collosus and I get rolled. As for storm, they need to reduce either the size or have the same damage but longer duration.. Also, nerf banelings lol.. 2 banelings > 50 marines. | ||

I know what you mean, if you check out the competitive stats for the Beta, TLPD (http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-beta/maps/379_Metalopolis) TvZ is 66% (35-18) and ZvP is 39.5% (17-26) So, during beta at least, metalopolis was definitely not a zerg map. (TLPD only has 1 game on metal since release). | ||

Perhaps these maps just don't promote aggressive play. Lately I've been playing a lot safer and just focusing on my macro and building enough units to defend until I've maxed out at 200. | ||

Played 3 of them as Protoss and the last 2 as Zerg... unless Platinum doesn't mean much anymore if compared to Gold and below. | ||
