I think shattered's close positions are worse than metal and the macro games aren't as good. Poor metal, Blizzard finally took the grandfather map to the nursing home to retire

While I'm not sad that Metal is gone, claiming it's zerg favored like they did is fucking bullshit though. Maybe it is on the ladder, where zerg players MMR is lower than it should be because of the other bullshit maps, and when playing on an actual balanced map the zerg players true skill is allowed to show.

TLPD, both Korean and International, which is based on an even higher level than whatever they think the highest levels are, says it's pretty damn balanced. And they usually play fixed versions that are even more 'zerg favored' which really means 'not extremely zerg punishing'.

You are totally a secret #1 skilled grandmaster gosu only being held back in plat/diamond/low masters/whatever by a map pool that is heavily favored against Zerg.

Don't let anyone tell you differently ;D

It is a sad news that Metalopolis is removed. I don't like any of the new maps. To be honest I don't like any maps that were presented as new for the first time and those presented now: Slag Pits, Backwater Gulch, Typhon Peaks and Nerazim Crypt, Searing Crater, Antiga Shipyard, Abyssal Caverns. They are all the same, standard, boring 4 players maps. Probably only Shakuras was original in many ways. In my opinion "original" sc2 maps were good in this meaning that every and each had something special, something original, I always new there is a few special ways of playing on it.
Blizzard seems to believe that those new maps can be divided into rush and macro maps? Seriously? I mean, SERIOUSLY? Boring maps... Bring back Metalopolis, give us more GSL and some ICCUP maps and stop uploading your own. They suck!

Ok, Metalopolis is kinda old (good, but old)...but why the fuck they take it out AND leave a shitty map like Backwater gulch?!!? It blows my freaking mind.

This thread makes me realize most of the SCII community just loves to complain. Let's give the new maps a shot, they are a lot better than the last ones Blizzard made, and honestly metal was not very balanced.

I'm happy about the deleted maps. Actually now there's only 2 maps i dont want to play on, just Backwater Gulch and Close Position Shattered Temple. All 4 removed maps were reasons i hardly played on ladder the last few weeks.
