But the map pool sucks. They know it and we know it. And even if they actually are dumb enough to think its fine, then we have told them over and over it isn't but they don't listen.

exactly! they worry about the 1v1 player base dwindling away, yet they make us play nerazim crypt and that fire map that is no fun. pure arrogance on blizzard's side.

Please, blizz, bring me decent maps. 
|
I'm specifically not laddering because of these maps. It's extremely unfortunate how unfun these new ones are compared to the not-so-balanced-but-oddly-fun-to-play maps of 2 seasons ago.
Really hope Blizzard starts devoting more resources to map pools, as there are so many great ones being used in tournaments that they could easily incorporate like Tal'Darim.

blizzard has made 3 decent/good maps but only for hots ... =/

Any news on when Season 4 opens ? also, new maps please..

what's wrong with Nerazim crypt? I love that map!

i want metalopolis to come back

Why do people want Xel Naga removed? It's completely baffling to get rid of arguably the games most balanced and fair map just because it's old. It would be like removing Python or Fighting Spirit from the BW mappool.
Sure I get the logic, it is pretty old (unless you compare to any of the commonly used BW maps) but why would you remove it when you have trash like shattered clos pos, narazim crypt, backwater gulch, etc etc.

booo, so boring.. i dont like the actual map pool that much , they should at least take out close positions..

XNC is very, very good for Terran in TvZ. The positions are short enough that 11/11 is a nightmare to deal with and counter-attacks are very difficult, the natural is open enough that if the T just gets a ton of hellions, there's nothing the Z can do to stop a drone massacre, the gold can be taken while the T is pushing towards the Z, and the gold's position in the center of the map commands the major counter-attack paths into the Terran base. People don't want to dump it because it's old--the GSL still runs Metalopolis--but instead because it's just bad for Z in the current metagame.

Is the symmetrical design an inherent must?

If a map isn't symmetrical, there are positional imbalances. You want it to be as fair as possible, yes?

Are you too lazy to look this up? The season starts this Tuesday.

I'd like to see close positions on shattered temple removed, and searing crater removed altogether.
The map is so incredibly bad (3 entrances to the natural). Whenever I roll it (which doesn't happen any more, because I vetoed it), I 1-base all in. Only option in pvt.

I agree, but not because of the reasons OP stated. I just don't like most of the Season 3 maps, and I've only got 3 vetos. I would like to see some more interesting 1v1 maps (Test Bug would be epic!) and the addition of Crevasse and Terminus. Guess we'll have to wait for Season 5 :-/
|
Rather disappointing, so many good maps out there used in tournaments right now that would be much better than the current ladder pool.
|
Does anyone know when season 4 begins? approx.
