I don't understand why Blizzard really likes these destructible rocks? They are so bloody annoying.

As long as blizzard insists on keeping rushing every game and viable tactic, and littering every map with rocks we will never see a truly good map pool. This could be an improvement depending on what maps they remove, but honestly by the third season i would like not be saying "well these are less terrible i guess".

one and four i do like, two is named rush and for a good reason because you can just break rocks and do a 2base all-in by walking out your front door. Same goes for three, the rocks make one basing bearable, but breaking the rocks gives a strong two base attack a speed pass to your natural.

The fourth map could suck depending on how you spawn, one person could possibly have their third right next to the opponents main, which would really suck for both players,

As a very casual player I think these maps looks fantastic! the matter of rocks and layout is for the most a matter of adapting to it, and seeing new things is just great!

good work blizzard.

Map 2,3,4 look nice.

#2 seems like a 4 player Steppes of War, which is nice. I really miss Steppes of War

map #1 rant: Why does the logical third of every fucking blizzard map have to be a gold with rocks on it?

map #2 rant: not only is the map tiny and the natural far from your main, there are 3 possible entrances to defend, protected by (you guessed it) destructible rocks. Also, the logical third has a nice cliff for tank drop shinanigans. Also, there is a gold with destructible rocks just to make sure the map gets the blizzard stamp of approval.

map #3 rant: A new and improved metalopolis now complete with destructible rocks since blizzard heard everyone like metalopolis except for the glaring lack of rocks. Once again you have a 1/3 chance of having to bring your cheesiest rush strategy to the table. Oh yeah, a gold base with some destructible rocks for good measure.

map #4 rant: No destructible rocks this time! Just some destructible debris to ensure its not too easy to defend your third on the only "macro map" Also, miles of open space around the edge to ensure banshee's muta's and DT drops have a low risk high reward ratio.

Dear blizz, just let us have a tournament map pool. Everyone I know that is a "casual" bronze leaguer has more fun when they aren't having to play "rush wars" with their already poor mechanics. And many casuals watch the GSL and would love to be able to play on maps the pros play on. Why do you insist on depriving us of this?

Imagine the GSL map pool = Blizzard map pool...

I'd love to play competitive games on aesthetically pleasing maps like Bel Shir and Dual Sight. A boy can dream. -.-

They are all literally the same except with different skins and maybe the towers are in a different spot or gold 3rds are covered with rocks with alternative paths. What a fucking joke. The team maps are just bad and lazily designed as well. More shared bases maps? hahaha


No shared bases because ling/helion rushes are fun?

Good thing the community isn't in charge of map design.

Oh man, that'd be sweet... I've really lost interest in ladder because of all the bad maps. God it would be awesome to play on Terminus and Crevasse regularly.

I really like the way that they were going with shifted sky. air harrass and drops would work great. I just wish there was a third base.

the last one is a weird micro map. it looks like that based on the spawn locations, your third could practically be touching the enemies main.

The 1v1 maps look really fun to play on even with the rocks. When does season three start anyway?

Season 2 started on March 29th, so I guess June 29th?

Typical stupid people... think they know more about maps than people who design the game. If you don't like it, don't play. Pretty simple.
