Well see what happens with time, blizzard needs to be taking out a lot of the maps on ladder and getting some better ones, steppes and delta are still horrible for us zergs

So Terran was already OP on this map and by the looks of it, Blizzard is favoring Terran even more. CC --> PF = GG if it's held long enough. (sigh) However. . . maybe Zerg can utilize this to its own advantage, hopefully

Just hopped on to NA Bnet to find Jungle Basin gone from the map pool? At last!

Can we hope to see another map in its place soon?

I don't want gold minerals in this map, i just want it gone =[
But the re-working is a step in the right direction for Blizz.

it's a bad change, or not really helpful, but at least it shows MAYBE they can hear people saying 'this map is godawful'

i dont understand, if blizzard removes Jungle Basin why they dont remove maps like Steppes of war-_- .... i think jungle basin is more "balanced" than steppes of war is.

Although still imbalanced for zerg I liked this map as it is very easy to bum rush another player as 90% of the players will choose to fast expand, making a baneling bust all-in quite easy to succeed. (as of now, people in Plat don't really scout that much, haha)

The gold will probably encourage the players to FE even more. Yikes.

Both Jungle Basin AND Shakuras have been removed fro EU

I liked Shakuras, why did they remove it AGAIN?

Meh...I don't know about anyone else, but I would just rather they spend their time making new maps instead of playing around with the old ones...

I disagree, taking a third as Z is alot safer than on JB, and the T third doesn't suddenly give him a platform to attack all other bases quickly.

Regardless, I did untick JB on SEA with the new gold, the base really doesn't help that much as it is still as venerable as the other expansions, and if you do manage to take and hold it, if the T gets the usual middle base and PF's it, they get a free gold behind it and deny your 4th.

it's an illusion that comes from the fact that imbalances on SoW come out early in the game while JB becomes imbalanced only after P/T reach a critical mass.

yeah i just played a game on Jungle Basin today and i was really puzzled to see that it's been reverted back to the original. the new expansions on both sides are gone!

edit: i play on the SEA server

So what about Shakuras? Is it in the mappool or not? Sorry, can't check right now.
Thanks in advance.

Shakuras is up. Atleast on Euro, but I'm fairly sure it's up on all servers.
