So now the ladder will be locked 2 weeks every 2 months, I was gonna accept that, because we'd get new maps. Now I'm really pissed though.
Etc.

Wow, didn't Blizzard get some partnership recently with the people formerly known as iCCup? I hoped that they would be able to bring in some better maps with their mapmaking talent.

The good news is that I don't have to veto any new maps. Backwater Gulch, Searing Crater, Abyssal Caverns, I shall never play you.

At the very least, BRING BACK METALOPOLIS.

Yeah, makes absolutely no sense. I hope they improve how custom games work greatly with the expansion. They have said that customs are the tool for the highest level practice, not ladder, because they want to keep ladder equally competitive at all levels when it comes to maps. This doesn't make any sense, they created this elaborate system to differentiate players by skill and match them up against people close to them and they seem to have abandoned it. YET they keep quoting statistics for balance from the highest ladder leagues, which as thy said is not meant to be really that good for practice and is not really competitive(except in some hidden fashion for some blizz invitationals).
On another note, who fucking benefits from bad maps and bad spawns on maps. How is that better for the lower leagues is beyond me.

what i dont understand is that they dont have to even make the maps themselves... they can take maps from iccup / esv or from the gsl. Boggles the mind

I don't see why they can't just add two new maps :\, it's just boring playing the same maps over and over again.

As long as the maps with statistical imbalance are still up voted, and maps that are of higher quality but the player may not like are down voted, blizzard will never think the maps suck just because the competitive market complains.

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.

Meh, it's like in WoW: Cataclysm where Blizzard has just gotten lazy and know people will buy their product regardless of effort put in. Maybe it's Activision pulling the reigns (after all, they work together and share the same philosophies it looks like).

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.


Relic anyone? their WH40k games are pretty awesome.


DoW1 was a great RTS with awesssome epic units

DoW2 was a piece of shit aborted fetus

Ugh... Isn't the whole concept of new seasons to keep the game fresh? This doesn't change anything, so why even introduce a new season?

I really hope they revisit this before season 4 begins and throw in a couple of GSL maps in there.

Disapointing overall.

Happy that Tempest is gone. Was really hard to secure a 3rd as Terran or Protoss. There were also some cheesy places to put siege tanks so Zergs probably hated that map as well.

I liked Khaydarin Depths though. Use a couple of Reapers to break the Gold rocks. Then have your ally expand there while you harassed with the Reapers. A gimicky strategy but a fun one all the same.


But definately having no new maps for 1vs1 is sad. I don't understand why Blizzard seems to be so against using community made maps. :/

Very pleased with Blizzard's decision not to mess with the map pool, the ladder is extremely balanced and fun to play on, excepting searing crater, abyssal caverns, nerazim crypt, typhon peaks and backwater gulch, but thats all!!

i really just cannot understand this, even david kim is GM he must understand right? maybe it's just browder or some bureaucratic issues that are making things inefficient

i mean it must be really easy to just get on, switch taldarim with daybreak, switch out some of the maps (hell keep searing crater if u want, just switch out xel'naga and/or backwater and/or shattered with some new maps or even just put metal/DO back in...)

Where can I find pictures of the new 2v2 maps? As mainly a 2v2 player, I'm sad to see two of the few decent maps go. The new ones better be good.

Peronslly i'd love new maps, however, knowing Blizzard it would be 1 half decent map and 3 horrible ones so i'll settle for what we have now.

If I am thinking of the same thing that contest was only for custom UMS maps unfortunately.
