For them to add maps like this then remove metalopolis makes no sense. I wish they made a damn 3 players map. But most of all i wished they didn't take out metal.

Metal was one of those maps that got me into the game because I loved how the map looked and wanted to play on it despite not knowing a fucking thing about sc2

Metalopolis gone is a really bad thing, and the new maps don't look so attractive, I still wonder why Blizzard doesn't bring the GSL maps to the map pool. Lets see what will happen.

Atleast they got rid of scrap, DQ, and slag pits though.

They got rid of Dairy Queen? Blizzard, whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!

I'm all for mixing up the map pool, but I'm still gonna miss metalopolis. =(

Backwater gulch ? Typhon peaks ? Still a shitty mappool, any 1v1 map are better than those stupid uninteresting and unbalanced things they call "map".

Great changes. Many people are whining about taking out Metalopolis but come on, give Blizzard a break. They are finally removing Scrap Station AND Delta Quadrant, excellent. If statistics indeed say it's imbalanced, let's believe them on this one. Besides, it's refreshing to see new maps. I am afraid I do have to thump down at Tal'Darim because PvP is just horrible (you have to 4 gate), even though I like the other 2 matchups a lot on it. All other maps now seem to have a ramp you can block with 1 FF (unlike Scrap, which was the main reason I thumped it down in S2).

How the FUCK can you give someone a break when they remove a map for a reason, but keep another map (shattered temple) in the pool when it has the EXACT same problem. It just goes to show their fucking incompetence.

Maybe because meta has been around for a year now and still shows problems while shattered has only been on around for a few months and Blizzard wants to see if given more time the current data will change. Calm down.

That's the most stupid logic i've ever heard in my life. Shattered temple shares the same problem as metalopolis what part of this do you not understand? Look i'm trying to be nice here, but it doesn't take a genius to understand this.

I really don't see how my logic is that far fetched and I really don't believe it's the most stupid logic you've ever heard in your life either. I'm not saying I don't understand the fact they have the same problems. I think giving a map that has been around about 1/4 the time as meta more time in the pool to see if it keeps following what their data is telling them now much more of a reasonable answer than just throwing it out only after a few months of play.

Do not troll me, I'm really not in the mood. You know as well as i do, that before shattered temple was re visioned, It was the lost temple. Also you should know Lost temple was released as one of the first map in Day 1 beta. You also know blizzard's reasoning behind removing Metalopolis and if you have an IQ over 75, You will understand the same reason should apply to shattered temple.

So i say again, Do NOT troll me. I'm really not looking forward to playing shit season 3, on shit maps. I'm in a bad enough mood as it is.

You actually don't classify the changes they made to Lost Temple as big enough to warrant a new time frame for gathering data on it? If you honestly think that then...idk I'm dumbfounded.

You are dumbfounded, that's exactly the problem.

Yeah remove one of the best maps in the game as long as it isn't close positions. And keep backwater and typhoon, holy shit. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot Blizzard.

If Metalopolis is biased towards zerg, and according to Blizzard the game is balanced... then surely it means zerg is UP in every other map? :p

Other than that I agree with the removal, first of all I never thought it was that good, and it had more than enough time to shine.

Not sold on the new maps yet, but I guess we'll see!

Meh. I kinda like Metalopolis, but I think losing Scrap, DQ, and Slag Pits is worth it.

At first I was like wtf about Metalopolis as well but they're right it's been in the map pool since the beta and we can use a change. That plus the imbalance towards Zerg makes me fine with it.
Plus three other horrible maps are gone so we can just veto Blackwater Gulch and Typhon Peaks now!

It's funny because TLO was just mentioning that Metalopolis should be taken out. I liked what he said in the Grubby tournament, so I'm not going to re-write it. I, for one, won't miss it.

I'm happy they decide to remove metalopolis, i know I'm an exception but the close pos is ridiculous, paths are small, b2 is wide and hard to defend, the main is a very free space for drop and there is a big place to protect bl from agression.

However I don't think metalopolis deserve to be remove if close pos is removed while blackwater gulch is still here.

I thought it was obvious that metal was heavily zerg biased. Didn't think that was the case for tal darim though.
