Clearly the new maps haven't been around for long enough to both weed out bad ones and come up with completely new ones. The 2v2 change is good even though that format will forever be a joke.

Always look forward to new maps in the pool when a new season is announced. Sucks there aren't any. Even if it would have only been blizz maps thats better than nothing

Yeah, but they should have removed The Ruins of Tarsonis. It's a joke map. However, 1vs1 has much higher priority.

I wish they would add more maps and get rid of some of the old ones too, but I think I am in the minority in that I do not think good tourney maps=good ladder maps. Definitely don't think they should just take the gsl mappool wholesale or anything like that. Some of those maps are really not that good.... (Dual Site, Bel'Shir, Crevasse would be awful on ladder. Well, they are just kind of bad in general)

I'd love to see some of the tourney ones though, like how they put in TalDarim. But seriously, they should add SOMETHING to the 1v1 map pool every season. Regardless.... not doing so is just sort of lazy.

Well this is shit. Good thing they announced it so close to the panel so we can shit on them for it.

We need hero's at the panel brining up all the stupid stuff they are doing and make them aware that we care even if they don't ;( Maybe we should start a list somewhere... yes..
A list of stuff to print out on overly large papers and give to blizzard..

I have nothing against keeping old maps even though I hate them, as long as we don't have 50% of map pool consisting of stupid maps. I feel like I need 5 votes instead of 3 just to vote idiotic maps and have no choice when it comes to strategy/race advantage. I wish, I could understand their thought process behind this ...

We also wanted to focus on maps that start 2v2 teammates closer together at the beginning of a match.

Two bad news in one. No new 1:1 maps and then two possible shared base maps in the 2:2 pool. Not that the removed maps were any good and they should be removed but this shared base shit is going too far. They should add some of the 1:1 maps instead or well any map to make 2:2 like it was in BW. Every single 2:2 map is pretty much shared bases anyway.

And blizz should logically be sitting on stats for all maps and could just remove the one that seems to have the most blance issues or the least popular map and replace that with some good map from GSL or whatnot. Then every season replace the worst map again and again and before we know it we'll have a really good mappool.
