The Shattered Metalopolis: Changes: - Rocks at the Thirds - Rocks at the Gold - Giant bridges between close air spawns so that the map becomes more interesting for rush fans! jk, I'm actually happy about the changes.. I wished they removed Shattered or Backwater though, but otherwise it's at least 1 close spawn less. Happy to see Xel'Naga staying there! | ||

It was the same in BW were many of the awesome maps still only had a lifetime of a few seasons before being replaced by something new. Partly to keep things fresh and partly to make it so the maps don't get completely figured out by the players. Don't worry; in the future players of SC2 will be able to play games on Metalopolis and have the same kind of nostalgia many BW players have for maps like Python, Destination, Medusa, Andromeda, and Fighting Spirit to name a few. Well said! And lol @ Zerg having 60+% win rate. I think back in the days when terran was OP they had like 55-57% and that mostly due to close posi. | ||

I think the "reason why metalopolis was removed" blue thread in bnet essentially proves that blizzard doesn't know what the f*** they're talking about when it comes to balance and can't actually analyze games...... they just look at numbers and make essentially uneducated decisions while staring at an excel spreadsheet with "weighted percentages at high levels" I'm sure when metalopolis comes back, it will have at least 12 sets of destructible rocks edit: so frustrated right now by this new map pool  Where are the excellent GSL maps? Why so many rocks!!!! | ||

REALLY glad Shakuras is still in. IMO it's the best map in starcraft 2 right now, and it was made by Blizz lol. | ||

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. | ||
