Macro-oriented my ass. Macro oriented doesn't mean you *cannot* be attacked early anymore. People should stop getting angry when people want to counter a quick expansion with some early attacks. If you have few units, it seems like a good time to strike ^_^. | ||

Close position Slug is closer distance than fucking Steps of War, I kid you not, go try it for yourself. It is also completely impossible for a zerg to overlord-scout his opponent in a timely fashion due to the positioning of the main entrances. You can overlord-scout the side of your opponent's base but he simply won't have anything there. | ||

At least steppes had a ramp... | ||

I liked Shakuras Plateau though :/ But, I am looking forward towards playing on the new maps.

Expansions are spread out and thus easily harassed by medivacs or god forbid mutalisks. Protoss doesnt have that many defence options so i feel we are pretty fucked. I find you wrong on that actually. I faced a Terran on that map, and it was really easy to fend of his marines and siege tanks. I also expanded quite easily too. | ||

And I can see myself getting massively sick of close positions on these maps very very quickly. | ||

Having a "plain" map was actually a nice change for a map pool full of maps with gimmicky shit. It missed a gold mineral expansion too, something that blizzard in their retarded ways wants to get in every fucking map apparently | ||

That being said I'm excited just to have new maps at least. If it takes another 6months for gsl maps to be added though it's gonna be a disaster. Edit: also disappointed shakuras is gone. Last map i would have wanted gone tbh. I play random so i just like fun maps and don't mind so insanely much small imbalances. | ||

 )) kept DQ removed shakuras which every race loved and wanted to play on.. smart move.. really shakuras is not as interesting map as SLAG PITS, NOT!thank you blizzard for "better metalopolis" aka slag pits )) it just cant get to my head how can blizzard compare metalopolis to this crap map ofc for people who actually play the game it takes 5 times to play this map to understand, that map is one of the worst ever created, but probably 5 times is too much for blizzard to test map, better is to waste time and to create nice description of map which is far from reality especially easy to defend early helion harass and 4 gate as zerg on this "better metalopolis" ) and nooo its not good to add non blizzard maps(btw that are there already GSL/ICCUP maps) because it would brake game! "amazing maps" make this really amazing game into cheese, 2 base play, 2 base all in fest. Keep the good work blizzard, your map makers are just amazing!!! | ||
