Wait, I understand everyone likes Metalopolis, but wasn't it removed because, even with close positions in, it was still terribly imba in favour of Zerg, according to Blizzard's stats? Now it's back, with the close positions gone. Doesn't this mean that the balance issues will be made worse with the new version?

I don't really hate Typhoon Peaks as zerg because it's not impossible. You can win if you outplay your opponent.

2 close spawn maps now


Ive never noticed anything wrong with typhon but people always complain about it. Anybody care to elaborate on why they dont like it.


As protoss, the natural is open as hell, it's really hard to simcity it against z. Also with horizontal spawns, defending more than 3 bases is quite hard.
ModeratorProtoss all-ins are like a wok. You can throw whatever you want in there and it will turn out alright.

Thyphon was really hard for me as protoss against zerg. It allowed them to macro up really effectively while leaving me really open for muta/ling play or 3 base mass roach/ling. I dunno I just didn't feel like I could macro enough on that map without being crushed.

Searing was obivous and backwater was horrible against terrans. I am VERY pleased with the map pool. Not 1 map will be vetoed.

Its a labyrinth of chokepoints so basically terrible for any melee unit or any short ranged unit, and a playground of happiness for siege tanks and colossi.

Aww, I actually like Typhon Peaks.
Oh well at least I don't have to play on Backwater Gulch, the most annoying PvP and PvT map to play on.

I like metalopolis but I don't understand why they bring it back without close-spawns when it got removed for balance reasons previously (because Z was at 60% at all skill levels including close spawn).

Oh well it's still a great map. Overall good changes for zerg hehe.

That was before 1.4, wasn't it?

I'm guessing they think that balance problem is now fixed.

Narrow ramps all over the map. Easy 3rd base for Protoss and Terran. The Narrow ramps make sentries, colossus, and tanks really strong on that map.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

Take a look at SC2 Korea for Metal and you'll find Zerg isn't actually that amazing on this map. In fact, I am certain it is a Terran map. It has a gold base, and Terran can deny his opponent's gold. If Terran plays this style, it is very hard for Zerg to win.

Whatever maps you feel are difficult for you.

I personally find TvZ on Shattered Temple to be an unpleasant experience, but other Terran players are going to probably veto Tal'Darim Altar and Metalopolis.

Your pick really.

The wide natural combined with the ramp position makes it awkward for Protoss openings, especially against Zerg. Also vertical spawn positions with the rocks in the middle leads to a lot of strong tank and colossus style games. It's also just one of those maps where people will sneak expansions because of the out of the way expansion locations. It's not a terrible map, but it's definitely not my favorite.

Amen.

Forcefields were obnoxious as hell on BWG. TvT wasn't much fun either.

Typhon was by far my best map for TvT.

Got placed into Diamond was well! Pumped!
