"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." SORRY, i bought this game to have fair matches, not interesting map features. I thought it was a troll but then i logged in... | ||

No kidding, I used to 2 rax FE and wall my natural and have some fun late game TvZ. Now I feel like doing a marine scv all in or 4 raxing every game because zerg can just do a run-by into my natural as soon as i expand or move out. | ||

What's the point of your post? Even if it's true and the maps do favor Zerg, this still makes the maps imbalanced and therefore bad. No matter which race it is, as long as one race is favored over another, it's imbalanced. | ||

No matter which race it is, as long as one race is favored over another, it's imbalanced. The point was that others were complaining that these maps are very bad for zerg. Oh well its the usual knee-jerk QQ here. Anything else would have been very strange anyway. edit: But I have to admit, the new LT looks EXTREMELY zerg favored now. I dont like using hyperboles like "free-win", but this might come close. But I think we should wait at least a week before making final judgements. | ||

Imo, making new maps, no matter how good they might be, makes no sense when the biggest tournaments use different maps. This seems to be very bad for the community and better players wont ladder anymore because it doesnt male sense to practice on different maps that arent used in tournaments. | ||

They have been on the PTR before. They aren't that new. | ||

It was great to play and great to watch. Most of the best games in GSL were played on it, as were most of the best games I've played on ladder. Do Blizzard not understand that the quality of a map is not defined by how many "interesting features" (lol?) it has but rather how it plays out? And Shakuras played out better than any of the other maps in the ladder pool. Maybe if Blizzard had just added an island with a gold expo, some destructible rocks and a couple of Xel Naga towers, it could have remained the best map in the ladder pool, while also satisfying Blizzard's ridiculous "interesting features" criteria. | ||
