Been trying to stop 4 gate on Backwater Gulch.

There's a backdoor, you can't defend with spines (or you need twice as many to hold both the main and the natural) and it's a small map size. Blizzard must have felt that Zerg was very overpowered against 4-gate or 2-rax and wanted to see more games end that way.

Argh, seriously, wtf I want to like this game stop being morons Blizzard ((((((((

As always, if these new maps were called iCCup Shattered Temple, iCCup Backwater Gulch, iCCup Slag Pits and iCCup Typhon Peaks everyone would be saying how great they are.

Should the maps be adapting to the players or should the players be adapting to the maps ?

TL general opinion seems to favor the first option, but I think people should be more open-minded about it and accept changes to their playstyle to fit some maps.

It seems people here are more interested in getting maps that are played the exact same way as in BW, rather than maps that are trying things and innovating.

Are Blizzard maps perfect ? No, for sure, but it's sad that they all get dismissed without proper testing and experimentations.

I've been playing a few games on the fourth of the 1v1 maps listed (i forgot the name >.<) versus zerg. I don't know if its because I am rusty or what, but the zerg seems extremely favoured versus protoss.

ZvP on Gulch is really retarded. Protoss cannot expand, because the layout of the natural makes sling agression extremely good. This basically forces protoss for 4gate, which in turn is completely impossible to hold off as zerg on this map: if zerg army is at the expo defending it, protoss will just skip it and walk straight into the main.

I got my biggest problems with Slag Pits, not only is 2rax all in with SCV's rly strong on close spot, and even if you hold if of you are kinda behind because u had to trow in alot of Drones your self. (I'm always time short for my Spine (5sec ish))

But a even bigger problem with this:
+ Show Spoiler +

It's such a save spot to siege up, and get fucked over, even worse then Incineration Zone

To streamline the complaining process, I've developed the following template for all complaints:

I can't believe Blizzard put <Blizzard map> into the map pool! It is so biased against <race you play> because of fundamental flaws such as <too big/not big enough/too many chokes/too much open space/too close of rush distances/too long of rush distances/too many ramps/not enough ramps/third base too hard to take/third base too easy to take/color of map is all wrong>. Instead of fixing these glaring fundamental flaws that even my <grandmother/grandfather/pet/newborn baby> can see, Blizzard tries to fix maps with gimmicks such as <Xel Naga watch towers/High Grass or smoke/Destructible Rocks/Gold Minerals/Random jab at World of Warcraft> Even <Blizzard map that used to be in the map pool that just a week ago you said was the worst map of all time> was better than this!

<GSL map/iCCup map> is clearly a superior map due to <opposite of whatever fundamental flaws you selected above>. <irrelevant race bashing comment, preferably with elitist attitude and posting of your rating and league>.
