EPTPlayed a few customs on the shakaras map, it is utterly and absolutely terrible. Even for 2v2 (which it looks like it was designed for) it just plays terrible.

It's absolutely disingenuous to harp on ridiculous minutiae and distort the argument of another person, especially in the guise of "helping them play". I didn't ask for advice. its a starcraft forum. if you post saying essentially "I have to wall to beat 6pool" then people are going to try and help you, but you lashed out against every single person who tried like a toddler who doesn't want help with his fingerpainting. fine we wont help, but we're certainly not putting your replay on the refrigerator. | ||

Even friends I play with that abhor DO have given it another shot to positive avail. Blizzard... I just don't know. | ||

1) The mapmaker scene makes a ton of better, more fun, more balanced maps 2) If you don't want to search around for maps Blizzard introduce a voting system ingame were people are able to vote in one or two favourites every week 3) Stop your facking misuse of rocks. Yes the koreans came up with some great maps where you can open up new paths in BW but it isn't just the placed rocks/buildings but also the time it takes to break them open that makes the map worthwhile!!!! | ||

This isn't the strategy forum, I didn't ask for your advice, and I didn't say I have to wall to beat 6pool in every possible situation. I wasn't even talking about 6 pool in general, I used it as one possible example where wall-ins are necessary. My general point was that early toss and early terran need to wall in against early aggression because their unit production takes ramping up (because they produce out of buildings and not larva). Once the queen is out, Zerg has full one-base production capability. Zerg also has spine crawlers, which are basically cannons that don't require a forge. On maps with close rush distances, terran will be crippled if not defeated by zerg all-in cheese if they don't start a wall at their choke. That's by design. That was my argument and maybe you'd be better served if you at least read through the specific conversation you were jumping into if not the whole thread. | ||

Although I admit that DO was nothing but cheese fest after the patch. (In gold league) | ||

I hope tournaments change their mappools as fast as possible to own / iccup maps, because it's getting shittier and shittier. | ||

... Blizzards ideas about maps are: "fast-paced" "action-packed" "Multiple entrances to your main" "small and tight areas". This gives great entertainment value. But does it really? All it does is promote short games, cheesy all-in play and zergs having low win ratios.. Who wants to see Cool lose in the prelimins beacuse Ghettoboy84 proxied 2 raxes outside the backdoor of his main? I want maps that promote the better player to win, not the player who does nothing but all-in cheese play. | ||

Just my thoughts. I hated DO before the patch but now I really liked it. Just when the map got more fun they are taking it out and then they add two of the strangest maps in the map pool. Shakuras might be pretty cool though if you really cant spawn next to each other. Lots of expansions .) | ||
