ABOUT FUCKING TIME SCRAP AND DELTA REMOVED. Metal was cool, but closepos were annoying as fuck. I hope a refined version comes out Season 4. They better not fuck it up.

As expected.

Was kind of obvious they were going to remove metal tbh, considering one of the new maps is basically exactly the same. All in all a pretty pointless change considering metalopolis looks tonnes better than practically every map they've made since.

Seriously, how do they get worse at map aesthetics as the days go by? =/

That said, their choices of maps to remove is actually quite sensible. So props to them for getting at least something right.

They really need to just start using some user-made maps though, there are some amazing maps out there, and blizzard can help themselves since ownership of anything made in the galaxy editor is forfeited to blizzard anyway.

Haha, I so agree. I think I like maps based off aesthetics more than general balance tbh

Something that really bothers me is if they are balancing the game for the absolute highest leves of play why are they leaving the chance for close positions? i really cant think of anyone who would want close positions. I really think they should bring in a veto option for close positions. Also i think i should be able to veto as many maps as i want, so if i want to only play tal darim altair every game i should be able to


You should do custom games on Tal'darim Altar all the time, then.

I have absolutely no idea why Metalopolis is removed and maps such as Backwater Gulch remain within the pool. Its a shame becauase Metalopolis was my favourite map and (imo) the most balanced of all the maps.

YUSS!!!
DQ... GONE
Meta... GONE
Scrap station... GONE
SLAG PITS.... Aww ): I win a lot on this map lol


It’s among the least balanced maps currently in the ladder pool, and along with Scrap Station (also being removed) and Tal’darim Altar, has a heavy (60%+) bias toward zerg at the highest levels of play.

LOL. BTW i LOVE that Tal Darim Altar is one of the most imbalanced maps in the pool. The community has been bitching about the maps since release and when gsl made their own maps the whole "grass is greener on the other side" thing made everyone want them. Turns out their terribly imbalanced. Lol.

But It's still my favorite map. (: Even though I am a terran player. Lol.

Honestly, as time has gone on Meta ment from being my favorite map to my most hated one.

It's over a year old, and it honestly is pretty bias'd towards Zerg.

Removing Metal seems odd, but if there really is a 60%+ favoritism to Zerg at high levels then I don't know how we can argue about it being removed.

I mean, if there was a map that was 60%+ Terran favored, I'm sure every Zerg in the world would go nuts until it was removed (as has happened in the past).

So happy Metro was yanked...it was getting so boring. Plus blizzard was right...it was imba for zerg even in close spawns. While close spawns made expanding tricky for zerg, it made expanding for terran and toss even more difficult so zerg could still keep its expansion advantage.

Gulch is way better than Typhon since the ramp change IMO, it's like 4 player xel'naga.

As for metal I saw that coming every since those images leaked of pro's talking about close positions to David Kim, with kim saying that they'll likely remove maps with imbalanced close positions from the pool.

Its ok that Metal is out, good reasoning by Blizzard.
Would hope for more 2 or 3 player maps. I don't think the new maps provide that much 'variety'. The maps tend to get pretty similar.

Will post on the new maps after I play them but I have to say I think Blizzard are just failing more and more when it comes to ladder, they don't look good at all.
