Balance Prediction: Toss Favored (generally) Terran Favored (depending on positions) Zerg favor? (no high yield will be interesting) | ||

I wasn't so much trying to point out some sort of Terran imba on this map, but Terran has units which really expose the flaws of this map. However, as a Zerg player, I won't be playing this map anyway - so I really could care less. I think it's a great map... for it's pure comic genius.On October 07 2010 12:17 intergalactic wrote: Oh well. A thread like this won't change blizzard's mind, and in the meantime, you just showed all terran players on TL how to abuse tanks on that map. Most would have figured it out eventually, but that's still a strange way to complain about imbalance. I figured it out in the first 5 seconds that I looked at the map overhead picture, and I don't even play Terran. I'm sure I didn't reveal anything to the Terrans that they wouldn't have immediately discovered. On October 07 2010 12:28 Pekkz wrote: I tried 3 games and didnt get the close spawns on this map. Looks like it aint possible from what others are saying aswell. Do you know if people are only getting cross spawns? Horizontal is almost as bad, maybe worse, because they can range your actual mineral line + 1 gas with seige from behind the rocks. Then there is the nuke...  Who knows, maybe with some maneuvering they can even range your CC/Nexus/Hatch from that position.Can anyone confirm that you only get diagonal positions? Diagonal and horizontal? Or can anyone debunk the theory that you never get vertical? | ||

Seriously people, There will be spots on every single map ever where Tanks can be put to hit something that you don't want to be hit. | ||

Seriously people, There will be spots on every single map ever where Tanks can be put to hit something that you don't want to be hit. Your complete lack of understanding about the game and the problem here is honestly mindblowing. Please don't post if its going to be garbage like that. That does not contribute anything to the discussion whatsoever. | ||

Is the position easy to reach, does it open for counters? Are the positions easy to reach? The backdoor horizontal seige / nuke position and the nat-nat seige position don't even require medivacs. The tanks literally just drive over. Of course, it requires scans or air to get vision. So that's an important consideration. Do they open for a counter? In the nat-nat position the tank that ranges your opponents gas also covers the front wall / ramp to your natural. Pretty safe as far as seige positions go. And in the backdoor position, your opponent has to break down the rocks or walk across the map, through your front door / base and then kill the tank. | ||

Ever wonder why most bw maps have unpassable terrain behind/around the minerals? Yeah. | ||
