If you spawn top/down, no. and you can always break the rocks to the third, which is also a low ground, while the Tal'Darim third is not | ||

Yeah, they're adding rocks - but they also enrichened the expansion they're putting rocks over. You don't have to like the change, it'd just be nice if people could be happy about all the changes we're getting, instead of just whining about the one questionable decision Blizzard are making. The problem (for me) is that they could be doing the right, and best thing, by doing NOTHING to the map and adding it as is. But they GO OUT OF THEIR WAY to fuck a completely fine map. If they did nothing to it, there would be no whine, here, just praise. | ||

I agree that it's a shame the map pools are different than tournament pools, but i'm ok with that now. The ladder maps are good enough to practice overall strategy and mechanics. It's pretty easy to find practice partners for non-ladder maps these days now that chat channels and irc are pretty active. | ||

Shakuras is definately an improvement too. Tal'darim Alter, what can I say? It's awesome to see this on the ladder. Of course blizzard had to change it a little to make it their own, and what could be better than some of blizzards favourite thing in the world - destructible rocks. Good decisions by blizzard, the map pool is looking WAY better than it did a month ago. | ||

As for vetoes it will be delta, backwater despite the changes and a tossup between slag and scrap station. Slag can be a free win or uphill battle depending on spawn positions, and i have always hated PvZ scrap. | ||

Play across leagues would make this really weird. I think a better alternative to your suggestion is to work in bigger maps for everyone (which is what blizz is doing, I wish they wouldn't rockify them while doing so though). | ||
