Where are the destructible rocks going to be?
They're connecting all the mains with back doors, and blocking the path with destructible rocks.

Every game is just speedling/zealot or speedling/hellion. The best 2v2 games also happened on Twilight Fortress, War Zone, or High Orbit. With these new maps, the average game time is less than 6 minutes. I've had almost only long macro games on the new 2v2 maps. The distance is long between the bases, but most of the ramps are tighter (except on two of the RSG mains) than other 2v2 maps, and potential 3rd expos are better placed than the old maps where one player on a team often had to get a badly positioned 3rd. I've longed for some teamplay maps where your bases aren't ridiculously close, it makes games a bit more like in BW. RSG is horrible though. | ||

Pretty much nailed it. The fact that Blizz honestly thinks the small choke was a "bad" thing worth getting rid of shows just how little they know about how most of the community (who cares enough) wants the matches to play out. God forbid, the small choke to the natural actually was some sort of defenders-advantage....

Hmm...I think it's not that easy. Against zerg I'd thumb down shattered temple, but against terran it's now more playable because abusive ledge-drops are gone and the third in the corner allows for an easy drop-defense (you only need to protect the third and will catch every dropship trying to get to your natural). | ||

Slag Pits - sucks, should be removed asap Typhon Peaks - is interesting, but up and down position is too easy to march in the natural through the destructable, in TvZ especially New Temple - is good, but a bit scary vZ cross position. Shakuras should be brought back | ||

Why would they remove Shakuras Plateau and not Delta Quadrant anyways? All of my most epic ladder matches were on Shakuras and they removed it. Not quite sure of the reasoning. | ||

Typhoon is a failed attempt at creating a decent macro map like the new GSL ones, I mean, compared to what it could be, it cannot compare, and Slag Pits is basically Metalopolis with closer positions, an open middle, and repositioned high yield expansions. I like the new maps. I think they are a bit of a concession to the players who want the larger maps, like those used in the GSL. Though I don't think this will completely satisfy all, I think, if given time, the maps will prove themselves to all. | ||

The natural is acutaly really easy to hold. Xelnaga's Natural is harder to hold. The only issue i feel with this map is Top Bottom. The back door route blocked by Rocks makes for stupid games where Collosi and Tanks Rape. | ||

Aside from the slag pits, I think overall, the change brough fresh breath to the ladder. | ||

And what is this fetish with destructible rocks? They should be a flavor adder in a -few- maps, not the defining feature in -all- the maps. | ||
