Ok, that explains why Shakuras had to go! But honestly... just give us the GSL map Blizzard. -.- | ||

It is better than most of the maps already in the pool and certainlky better than all the new maps being added. If they are serious about this change I really wuestion if they even have the slightest clue what they are doing. Or if they are trying to balance the game by rolling dice and cutting random stuff wherever, just 'cause! | ||

If they changed it to long distance only, it'd be a very, VERY interesting map. Why is shakuras gone? I LOVE that map. New LT seems even easier to dominate the center as terran. nobody really cliff dropped anyways. Other than that, I like the new maps. But where are the 1v1v1 maps? Those were amazing in BW. Also, I prefer the GSL new maps to the blizz new maps. The GSL ones seemed far more balanced. | ||

Backwater Gulch: Natural is too far from main ramp. Additionally, two paths to natural from ramp up make defending natural against mobile forces almost impossible. 3rd base has a huge cliff next to it which is good... if you have siege tanks or colossus but terrible any other way. Slag Pits: You have no fucking third. No fucking third. YOU HAVE NO THIRD. Main is very small with a HUGE open area along the sides making long range units incredibly painful (siege tank push your nexus fromt he low ground?) Shattered Temple: I like this map, they opened up the middle making the play less 1 dimensional. They removed the ridiculous sight benefits of 2 towers by having a central 1. They removed the cliff which was retarded to deal with and didn't add enjoyable game play. I am not so sure I like the idea of close positions on this map but it is an improvement. Typhon: This map is decent overall. It is probably better than the maps it replaced but the natural is VERY open and there are so many attack paths, I feel like heavy expansion play is going to be problematic. Decent map overall. Summary: They replaced Jungle Basin, Steppes, and Blistering with Backwater Gulch and Slag Pits. Overall, 3 terrible maps removed, 2 terrible maps added so it is a net positive movement. I am not sure I like that Shakuras was removed considering that was the one map in the entire pool I felt played like a solid RTS map. edit: I have been spoiled by the map makers for the GSL, their maps are gorgeous, promote good gameplay, and are well thought out. I should be happier but I feel like I have been let down by Blizzard again. It is one thing to be wrong and change, but to be wrong and continue to be wrong. That is maddening. | ||
