I could be wrong on this but wasn't Xel'naga and Shakuras added in the middle of S1. So maybe after the map making contest is over or enough people bring this up at Blizzcon they will patch in some new maps!

Well if they did change it they would probably remove good maps that peopl like and replace them with shitty maps no one likes.

Just curious what your numbers are for "tiny" user base that still sees adverts after a year.
Compared to WoW? Your absolutely right!
Do WoW players make other people watch them at massive events online or offline? No!

Not ripping on wow because it will always have a spot in my cockles but I just want to know where sc2 is tiny in relation to blizzards other user-bases.

Well to be fair, with their shorter seasons we could see the map pool change only every other season and we'd still be getting updates to the map pool more frequently than we got in the past.

I'm not too concerned about this. The only maps that really suck in the current map pool imo are Backwater Gulch and Searing Crater and I have both of those vetoed already.

I'd love to see Xel'Naga Caverns and Typhon Peaks replaced with something more fresh, but that isn't something I'm going to be outraged about having to wait for.

The tiny user base is also making blizzard money from all the tournaments that top 5k in prices

I'm not really surprised, if they were changing the map pool it seems like a PTR or something would have showed up by now. But hearing it still sucks, haha. Shorter seasons doesn't even matter now unless you were near a promotion when the ladder locked or if you're dumb to think that division rank matters at all.

Seriously, who thought that anything else would happen?
Okay, I expected one or two new shitty maps from Blizzard but that's about it. Since release Blizzard has shown time and time again that they are so incompetent at making or implementing good maps that this should be no surprise to anyone.
If you expected anything different it's your own fault.

Sometimes I wonder how the game would look like if the community had a hand in balancing and designing the races...

Total shit, you need a selected few who actually knows what they are doing. Imagine for once that all the changes that the bnet forums want went through. Yea. All we can do is to make suggestions on what is imbalanced and then hope they find a good solution imho, which is kinda what is happening now. Except they are only listening once in a while, they also seem to care about silly things like casual players :/

More importantly, remove the shitty ones. Adding good ones would be nice, but right now there are so many bad ones that I can't downvote them all.

that is ridiculous. the only balanced maps are antiga, shattered (only with non-close positions, so i guess it doesn't count) and shakuras.

does blizzard even play this game? like seriously what the fuck?

Blizzard should just swallow their pride and copy the GSL map pool for every season. Newbies won't mind because they'll play whatever map that shows up, and everyone that are competitive or enjoy watching competitive games will be much happier.

Then GSL can cooperate with map makers to make good maps that will be used globally and everyone can practice on ladder, and everyone lives happily ever after.

im so disappointed and frustrated with blizzard and there maps sigh.. they are so fuckin stubborn refusing to remove close pos on shattered temp, and the many other bull shit things with the maps i could name more but i think u all know what im talking about, that is just an example, if blizzard would just use the mlg maps and like add a couple original ones of there own i would be very happy with that or like a few mlg maps, a few gsl maps and a couple of there own, and when i say mlg i mean no close positions and supply depots at the bottum of ramp to prevent gayness.
I mean litterally as a zerg player i will lose a game on ladder then get like 2 bunkered walled by a terran, lose that game and then outta no where happen to get shat temp next and spawn close pos and at that point im ready to slam my head into my keyboard repeatedly till i pass out and wake up and the game just be over, while i look down and see blood near my rectum from the close position rape i just received.

out of 750,000 on bnet, there are 13,000 sc2 games WORLD WIDE.

lets say each game has on average 4 people in it (1v1 more popular, team games not as popular)

that means ~52,000 people worldwide playing sc2. (most americans are home from work right now, 8pm on west coast)

~7% of people on bnet are playing sc2

is that tiny to you or do you want it even lower?

This is dumb, the sole reason they stated for having these shorter seasons was because activity on battle.net was higher towards the beginning of the season, and this was only because there were new maps in the 1v1 pool.

I explained that not very good sorry. I meant that a select few who actually know the game should work with blizzard on this. Pretty much like the gsl does it at the moment. They have a few hand picked mapmakers from the community and have them make awesome and balanced maps.

I don't want new blizzard maps, so that's fine (almost every single one so far has been utter trash, I don't need more vetoes), I want them to start finally putting community maps in there FFS! Season 2 they added tal'darim, then from there they just decided never to do it again?

Fuck you blizzard/activision, your maps are utter shit and I'm tired of you shitting on our map pool. Put some community maps in there FFS. Your stupid argument of "we want ladder maps to be separate from tournament maps" doesn't work when you use your own dumb, imbalanced, terrible ladder maps in your own blizzcon tournaments.

I'm so god damn sick of them 100% ignoring community concerns and just doing whatever the fuck they feel like doing.

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


Ohh blizzard why why, you should be going in the opposite direction. I just pray that one day we will get 1 maps with totally separate mains and that even have random spawn positions and then everyone might see the light of a good 2v2 match.

Probably pretty tiny, considering WoW is probably far-and-away the highest-grossing game of all time.
