Oh. Ok. I missed that when going through the OP. Dang, I feel quite foolish right now. Anyways, Blizzard's decision to make Shakuras a bit slanted is a strange decision. Then again, the map was originally a 2v2 map back in the beta, so it probably wasn't up to the standards of a proper 1v1 map when it was rather haphazardly first introduced into the pool. I don't think any proper community map-maker would make their map with so much imbalance and slant. The map has a decent layout, but these imbalances do seem disturbing. | ||

Yup. Hate that position, drop/air play against it is incredibly abusive. Can hit nat + main min lines and you have retreat distance? Crazy. They should just make Shakuras cross spawn only. Better and solves this issue. | ||

Right? in X situation,if one player can spawn with close distance to edge and other can spawn with far distance, it's imbalanced. (positional imbalance) | ||

Disappointing, but not surprising. It kind of reminds me the patch they released where the modified ultralisk splash would kill scvs repairing buildings... how do they miss something like that unless they've done hardly any testing? Obviously missing this Shakuras issue is understandable, but it's still frustrating feeling like it won't be fixed. Seriously, they could hire volunteers for $0/hr to fix the position map imbalances in their ladder maps and would have it done in a single day... I genuinely do not understand how these problems still exist. I'm just frustrated  | ||

Hmmm... this could explain why I have a lot better success with banshees sometimes. Nice find | ||

In fact, that is even more embarrassing because that is reasonable enough evidence that the change was never tested in a competitive game even a single time before the patch went live. And that's a really depressing thought. | ||

If you can spawn 10 and 2 or 4 and 8, then there's a problem. I'm not sure if the new blizzard shakuras enforces cross positions like the custom ones do. | ||
