The GSL put Typhon in the map pool, and I think it's arguably the best Blizz map. Backwater is improved, and there are players who like that kind of map. Slag is....funky. Catz says it's ludicrously pro-Zerg, by flipping the game from getting expos to denying expos. If nothing else, it's an interesting experiment. Even the maps that weren't popular or fun taught us useful things by existing. There was a period where people hated Xel'Naga Caverns and loved Delta, after all. | ||

So yeah, I will still veto Backwater gulch and Slag Pits. Tal'darim Altar is surely a nice add for the mix and it makes me personally happy to see that Blizzard atleast tries to listen community (bunch of complaints and arguments why there should be GSL maps also). THANK YOU! | ||

And of course I can't complain about the change to the natural on Backwater. I don't really mind the map as it is now aside from the difficulty of holding that spot, so yay! I'm disappointed to see Slag Pits remain in the pool. I don't like to write off maps as terrible, but damn, that map is terrible. | ||

 I like that the 3rd on Taldarim Altar has rocks, but not so sure about the double gas, we'll see. New Shakuras looks sweet as well :> | ||

So taldarim altar LE is a shitty map only because there's one set of extra rocks? You always find a way to complain. I my opinion, these changes are great! Shakuras was my favourite map anyways and backwater was unplayable before, now you can at least expo. just give blizz a bit time, I'm sure they will add more good maps until all maps are perfect | ||

Seems like Blzzard finally found a map pool which is a compromise for mos of the players and due to the fact that u are able to vote down 3 maps, the pool should be fine for everyone (not just in theory). I'm more the kind of harrass oriented player and still having troubles in lategame especially on very big maps. But since there are some smaller maps too this should be fine. Still like the choices for the big maps very very much. Let's get it on! | ||

And ofc really happy with TalDarim. Still dissapointed about the fact they keep maps such as Slag Pits, Delta Quadrant and Backwater Gulch on there. I assume they'll be removed and we'll get Terminus LE and Crevasse LE sooner or later though! | ||

I still don't understand blizz' obsesion with people not making thirds, that's kinda the moment in which games start getting the most interesting. You can't really punish greedy builds on that map as Z/T because it's so huge. | ||

What could possibly motivate that, it's like they're saying "Well okay we'll implent 1 GSL map, but we have to make non-sense changes just because otherwise we had nothing to do with this map". Ridiculous. | ||

But wtf Blizzard, now you added Tal'Darim which is really cool... but then you change stuff significantly so first of all we can't play the same strats the pros play on this map and second the pros still can't train this map on ladder... what's the purpose, really... (if they made it smaller at least... that would have been a logical change since even the mapmaker himself thinks it is too big) | ||
