The map itself, I like. Close positions, however, make for such awkward games. I don't mind having rush maps, but ambiguous maps that you only 1/3 want to veto are just unpleasant. | ||

I don't mind having rush maps, but ambiguous maps that you only 1/3 want to veto are just unpleasant. I agree with you but i'd rather play steppes of war than close positions shattered temple. Because at least you know its going to be a short distance to the other persons base and there is most likely going to be a rush. With close positions on a map it's just stupid. The map could be a very good map close air / cross positions but close positions its bad. | ||

Seriously though they talk big on e-sports, but they take steps to make ladder a joke. No pro trains mostly on ladder unless they have to. | ||

Uh, Anyway, guess this is kind of bad. I'd rather have a fresh map-pool every season too. | ||

The lack of support isn't surprising at all. It's not just Blizzard either, Bioware has also begun to degrade. ID has been going downhill for a long time now. PC devs aside from Valve (who hasn't put out that much either this generation but still quality stuff) have been going downhill this gen. Blizzard feels like just another average developer honestly. You just don't get the same amount of care or content in the games that you used to. WoW is marketed to every possible thing that can breathe now and SC2 isn't being worked on because they want to rush an expansion out as quickly as possible to gain sales....as quickly as possible. Guitar hero/CoD style. Not a fan of Blizzard anymore  . That's how I've felt since WoTLK. | ||

I know i know, excuses, but you cant deny that this is their biggest year in that they will release 2 expansions and 1 new game (Diablo 3). I rather they focus on HotS instead of the current game, balance or maps | ||

There are plenty of noobs out there who don't down vote these maps -> thats the source of the problem, don't blame blizzard, blame the ignorance of the common sc2 player. The competitive scene already uses different maps, and the 99% of ladder is made of "common sc2 players" which are in return who buy the game and keep blizzard making profit so Blizzard won't change maps just to please the 1% of hardcore competitive amateur gamers in b.net I'm happy with the current maps, as zerg i have veto on searing, backwater and thypoon peaks, just because I don't like playing on them (too many chokes) but Nerazim and abyssal are good for me.
