Jungle Basin is slightly better but still small and seems way too similar to other 2v2 maps. This is a complete and utter joke if these 2 maps have really been added to the pool and shows how completely out of touch blizzard is with this game. Blizzard can't be out of touch with a game they created can they? Personally, I'm looking forward to trying them both, now I don't need to veto Kulas I can veto maybe Lost Temple as I'm so bored of that map, it always ends up especially in TvT games that last like 50 minutes whenever you're not on short positions. I always used to veto DO and Blistering Sands as I always found them really annoying, then veto'd Kulas instead of DO when they added the rocks. | ||

So how should new maps to be added to ladder? By changing/replacing 4-5 maps (always more than veto option) to force players to play those maps. Now players can easily veto new maps because they don't know/like maps. Yet again I am referring WC3 ladder map pool changes, same thing happened. 1-2 maps was changed, everyone/most vetoed those maps because those were new maps. Same old maps were still played... Of course I have faith that Blizzard won't make same mistakes again  I agree with this. Hopefully they wise up eventually and learn from mistakes they make. | ||

Not to mention that rocks are imbalanced by design - they are significantly more difficult for zerg to destroy in the early/mid game than for either protoss or terran. On a different topic: I wouldn't mind Jungle so much if zerg were designed with 2base play in mind. Unfortunately there is very few 2base strategies that can even be remotely successful for zerg. Blizzard either need to buff zerg in the early/mid game or give each map an easily take-able third base. Anything less is by nature an imbalanced situation. | ||

I am glad they are changing maps though. They need to do this way more often. | ||

Unless they remove the "ICCup" out of the name and give ownership and credit of the map to blizzard, this most likely won't be happening. They already gave up ownership of the map. You can't own anything created with Blizzards editor. | ||

It seems to me you could just expand around the outside, destroying your own back-door rocks, and control the center hill. Air harassment could be painful, though; but it's arguable as to whether that's a bad thing or not. It just makes things harder to defend and also zerg needs the quicker 3rd and it's tougher for a zerg to take down the rocks than toss or terran. | ||

1. WHY THERE ALWAYS MUST BE DESTRUCTIBLE ROCKS?!?!?!11?!!?! and 2. Why they don't listen to the community and add Crossfire to the map pool? Thanks | ||

Jungle Basin there's basically no reason not to fast expand. Interesting and dynamically different from the other maps. There's multiple attack paths kind of similar to Xel'Naga Caverns. Shakuras I'm not 100% thrilled with after one game, but needs more testing. It's a really oddly shaped map, and will produce completely different games depending on spawn positions. | ||

They need to do this way more often. I agree, of the maps floating around the custom pool, I would have preferred Agria Valley to this Jungle Basin nonsense  | ||
