The solution to this is simple - stop playing blizz maps in tournies. When blizz sees $10000 tournaments without a blizzard map in there maybe they'll get the idea. | ||

I honestly think they just don't understand. They probably think it's cool that spawns are different, like it adds flavor or something.

Kind of like all the Broodwar tourneys that exclusively feature user made maps? Blizzard wants to dumb the maps down for the average gamer, and we can't really expect to blame them for that. The competitive Starcraft II community makes up a small percentage of all those who play SC2. | ||

Blizz has said they dont want difficult maps because of beginners, but several of the maps in the map pool directly contradict that. DO and kulas are much more difficult maps then what the community wants in the map pool. | ||

The spacing between the rocks and the bushes is quite a bit different. You can't have a spotter pylon and then add 2 gateway sized buildings and a cannon to damage the lings and you have to complete your wall off with units. Of course if there is a better way I'd like to know  ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/JagOK.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/0cZlH.jpg) | ||

which makes almost no sense to me..not only is it not difficult to play on maps with wide areas but why would they design their maps around the beginner..that's what novice maps are for | ||

On blistering sands, Terran can wall off with an addon and a depot (with rax ofc) on the lower position. On the top they cant. This is pretty big if facing a 6pool, for example. | ||

On the top of blistering sands you can wall off with one Rax and an addon at the base of the ramp :D | ||

But because that is ludicrous, it would be even nicer if add-ons could be placed on either side of a building. | ||

On topic, I have noticed as that some spawn positions are more difficult to wall off then others, but I had no idea that the map imbalances were as large as shown here. This seems like very sloppy map making and I believe what many have written that blizzard is not very good at making maps. If I can ask a little different question, many of you mentioned ICCUP maps. I was wondering since I have never played Starcraft 1, well, I have but I was like 10 years old and didnt understand a thing, what makes a good map, other then the obvious that all spawn locations are equal and without the major flaws shown here. Are there any of the 1v1 maps in the game that are "good" maps? | ||
