They make me sad because in comparison to the maps we're looking at for season 3, these are absolutely amazing yet they will never get the same level of play time. True. I wonder why Blizzard always does such a terrible job at making good new maps. Anyway, great maps, although I doubt I will play them a lot (as everything is centered around the ladder :/). | ||

Sure it makes the maps pretty, but it's not good for anything. It causes positional imbalances, which, to be honest, shouldn't exist. I don't want to head into a game thinking "If he spawns in 1 of 3 positions I'm fighting a losing battle from the beginning". Please please PLEASE don't use rotational symmetry. It ruins great maps. i understand your concerns, but i don't really agree with that. while it does add a certain degree of randomness, it doesn't ruin the map, if balanced properly. if you have the option to expand both cw and ccw with having about the same distances between bases and the same openess, then it shouldn't have much effect on the outcome of the game. on the other hand, on a mirrored 4 player map it may make a huge difference in tvz for example, if your opponent spawns close positions or cross positions. basically, what rotational maps do is add the same kind of randomness to the mirror matchups, too. but at the same time you have alot more possibilities for map layouts. | ||

Take a look at MotM Sanctuarium for an example of a rotational map with minimal Positional imbalances. Rotational maps aren't always imba ^^ | ||

Delta Quadrant is a prime example of how bad rotational can be, but keep in mind that those are all very close spawns. On maps like Tal'darim, Sanctuarium, and Core Delta, they're much farther apart from each other. I think core delta is a wonderful rotational map | ||
