After seeing what an amazing map peaks of beakdu was we can only hope they port over crazy critters with some flying rocks.

In all seriousness, the problem isnt that there aren't good maps, the problem is that blizzard is being so damn stubborn chasing buzzwords like "stream lining" and "making it easier for the casuals" to support maps like slag pits which should never have been put in the map pool.


If anything these awful maps should serve as a warning as to what is a hood idea and what isn't.
Solo operative, right?

I was just watching Hydra vs Stork on Pathfinder.
Talk about a retarded map.

Just shows how a delicate thing map choice is for tournaments when even OSL in 2011 has such a map.

Love Crazy Critters!

Blizzard should implement a system ASAP in which community maps can be voted on or in some other way selected for the ladder, with blizzard oversight if necessary. Makes sense for them too... they can spend less work making maps and researching (if they do at all) map balance

Blizzard could then concentrate on making fun/creative maps (ie, not worry about balance too much) like crazy critters, the island maps that tons of newbies want, and unsymmetrical maps.

But im sure most of the maps chosen for the pool have to be chosen for all skill levels and blizzard wants control of that.

You know, when I read this I assumed it was a friendly jab making fun of the Blizzard map making team.

Then I was disappointed to find that it was intended to be a soapbox for, "Guys! Give them time!" (Unless, of course, I've horribly misread something -- if so, Hahah! Brilliant!)

I don't know where you've been, but other map makers have been shelling out some quite "nice maps" by today's under-developed standard. This is in stark contrast to the content Blizzard gives us, the maps met with a unanimous groan.

Blizzard really, REALLY needs to get their act together when it comes to map making if they intend to subject us to their work for the rest of SC2's lifespan.

Perhaps you made some edits since then that made it more clear, but the number of people on the first couple of pages that didn't realize it was a troll as soon as they saw map #1 is disturbing...

I got a kick out of this! Nice job!

Lol. Awesome post. But I am disheartened by the number of people that couldn't see what you were getting at. I'm just going to tell myself they only read a few words before posting or that they are counter-trolling in order to not feel too bad for the fools.
