How is slag pits a macro map, it has 1 expansion and then the nearest one is covered by rocks and the others are really far away, seriouslly shakuras is 1000000% better than that map.

(4)Shakuras Plateau

This map we decided to remove for a different reason. There isn't a huge problem with this map, but we felt there aren't enough interesting features of this map. The natural expansion is easy to take and defend; there are only two possible attack paths only one of which is generally used, and main bases aren't easy to harass. For a change, we wanted to replace this relatively plain map with something new.


The fact that is one of the reason to substract Shakuras Plateau make me sick.


blizzard should add more destructible rocks to shakuras so the map has its "features"
or they could add maps where you only have your main minerals...so people never even think of expanding -_-

slag pits a macro map, seriously blizzard? hahaha thats just plain stupid. sorry but it is.

imo they should have kept shakuras, fixed metalopolis so you can't spawn close position anymore and add an own terminus-re- or crevasse-like map to the pool. i agree that they shouldnt just implement maps from tournaments, but i would really appreciate if they'd look at them and embrace the good features of them and then make their own maps based on that. need more sc1 like, big macro maps

Slag pits is just 4 player steppes, close positions are RIDICULOUSLY close, even closer than steppes >.<

Blizzards definition of macro map = incredibly difficult to defend natural with a third further away than mains on some maps and spawn positions (if you spawn close position on slag pits the two mains are closer than thirds are).

We may need a unit that does extra damage to destructible rocks...

Also, PF on Backwater's gold? Seems pretty sick...

LOOOOOOOLLLL
2)Steppes of War

Again, we wanted to reduce the number of rush maps, and Steppes was the most rush-friendly rush map we decided to cut. It's not that we don't like rush maps, but we have learned over the course of season 1 that two-player rush maps are generally more one-sided than four-player rush maps. For the ladder map changes, the rush possible maps we'll have will be four-player maps only.

Hahaha cannot believe they took out shakuras.. I saw so many good games on that map.

The new ones all look pretty meh and have some features that are bound to be abused in the future. When will blizzard realize that the community is much more able at creating good maps than blizzard themselves?

The reasoning for taking out shakuras just kinda goes to show blizzard don't want sc2 to be a macro oriented game but rather a "let's do our 1 base timings and see who comes out on top!!!" game.

Can't wait to be tank pushed through the corner sloping down to a plateau with multiple choke points right beside my natural on LT close pos.

I look at these maps and I realize that I will be favored on most of them against zerg if I play a certain style, but as a player I like to macro :/ I see no way to just expand when the surface area to defend my expand is so big so 2 rax is what i'll do

Shakuras gone... for reasons of being a macro map... uhuh.
Typhoon peaks does look interesting though.
Shattered Temple... certainly an improvement over LT.
As for the other maps they will probably get opted out on but owell.

The new maps are awesome, the desert one is a bit tricky as zerg, especially against a siege tank play, thanks to those cliffs :|

Slag pits could be a rush map, but it is still better than 2 players short maps, at least you NEED to actually scout to be successful at rushing, and as a defender, if you scout in a decent manner, you can very well prepare for it.

So, this new map pool is actually a pretty big step forward in comparison to the old one.

I'm wondering why they took Shakuras out, it was my favourite map in the Blizzard map pool.

I just played a game on the new Lost Temple, and I don't really like it
The single Xel'Naga is only useful in cross position games and the choke at the natural is a lot bigger so it's harder to defend. LT was nice before because you could use about 3 FF's to defend from your natural.

I didn't see this mentioned

Blizzard says the company plans to add "a couple more new maps to the official ladder rotation in the coming weeks, including a user-made 1v1 map that is currently being featured in the Global StarCraft League (GSL)."

Maps aren't that bad guys (not all of them at least). Play em first and then compare them to what they replaced. They are larger at least. The pit one of whatever is pretty horrible though.

Blizzard: "Dear zerg players: fuck you."

How can they be so fucking oblivious of how their own fucking game works?
"We really like rush maps." Rush maps? Maps where the one race that just happens to incapable of rushing automatically looses?
