I wonder if anyone else has had this problem or if I'm just crazy. I was playing a game on Antiga Shipyard, and there was an automaton chilling in my base. It was at my ramp and I was trying to wall off with my barracks, but the bot was in the way, and it wouldn't let me place my barracks where I wanted it to. I had to wait for the bot to move away shortly after before I could start building. Here's the screenshot.

I believe that is Chill bot

It's called Rockapolis

Its called Rock.

Its an island map with just 1 big destructible rock. When you destroy the rock, all the terrain disappears and thus concludes a tie, making this the most balanced map possible.

On Nerazim it seems to be nearly impossible to take a fourth base in PvZ...

To streamline the complaining process, I've developed the following template for all complaints:

I can't believe Blizzard put <Blizzard map> into the map pool! It is so biased against <race you play> because of fundamental flaws such as <too big/not big enough/too many chokes/too much open space/too close of rush distances/too long of rush distances/too many ramps/not enough ramps/third base too hard to take/third base too easy to take/color of map is all wrong>. Instead of fixing these glaring fundamental flaws that even my <grandmother/grandfather/pet/newborn baby> can see, Blizzard tries to fix maps with gimmicks such as <Xel Naga watch towers/High Grass or smoke/Destructible Rocks/Gold Minerals/Random jab at World of Warcraft> Even <Blizzard map that used to be in the map pool that just a week ago you said was the worst map of all time> was better than this!

<GSL map/iCCup map> is clearly a superior map due to <opposite of whatever fundamental flaws you selected above>. <irrelevant race bashing comment, preferably with elitist attitude and posting of your rating and league>.

one of the best posts!
antiga really sucks, there are several bugs on it and i just don't like the tileset used on it.
rest of the maps look good, especially for protoss^^

The new map for Season 4:

Rock Labyrinth

The entire map is just a flap square that has no features other than open ground. However, there are destructible rocks in every single piece of space on the ground so it is impossible to go anywhere unless you break the rocks in a pathway to where you want to go. Until you break the rocks to make a pathway to your natural, you are stuck on one base. This will encourage macro play and help to keep less experienced ladder players from feeling anxious, knowing that a 400 foot wall of rock protects them from their enemies.

I really hate the fact that the ladder map pool is almost completely different from the map pool used by all major tournaments. I find it much more enjoyable to watch tournament games on maps that I'm familiar with; and I enjoy playing on maps that I've seen pro players play on. It annoys me that Blizzard can't get its act together and make maps that are acceptable to major tournament organizers.

Thanks man, now I can complain with ease.

I can't believe Blizzard put Destructible Rocks into the map pool! It is so biased against Destructible Rocks because of fundamental flaws such as Destructible Rocks. Instead of fixing these glaring fundamental flaws that even my Destructible Rocks can see, Blizzard tries to fix maps with gimmicks such as Destructible Rocks Even Destructible Rocks was better than this!

Destructible Rocks is clearly a superior map due to Destructible Rocks. Destructible Rocks

They took out the destructible rocks blocking the thirds on Nerazim and made them normal expos instead of gold. That map is super solid. It's rotationally symmetrical, has an accessible 3rd that's not totally free, and has medium/long rush distances across all positions. Honestly I can't find much to complain about.
