YES! Metalopolis is back! I'm really content with the map pool now! The two maps that I'm not a big fan of is of course Nezarim and Abyssal. But I can always veto them

Thanks Blizzard! :D

Best change ever

I hated searing crater, typhon peaks and backwater gulch... they were horrendous maps. Now there are less maps and they are (the most) balanced maps blizzard made... I would've still liked that Blizzard take maps from the gsl, like dual site and/or terminus re.

I think the map pool this season is great!

We can ladder like we're playing in a tourney!

This does eliminate some strategies in close spawns by air/land though...but good map pool nonetheless :D

This is cool. I wonder if the plan was in the works before Browder's interview with TL at Blizzcon...

Wtf why would they put back metal? It was a terrible map for TvZ before, now its basically impossible since there is no close spawns....

Happy about the shattered temple close spawn removal though, I think it was a little extreme.

They actually removed all of the maps that I had vetoed before

I didn't think I would veto any maps, but I ended up vetoing Abyssal, Nerazim, and Antiga. I didn't mind those three maps last season but after laddering, I just felt so good when I got Metal, Shattered, etc., but felt really "bleah" if I landed on one of those three. So, while not the worst maps ever, I had to veto them. Now when I ladder everything feels just right - I'm really enjoying this pool.
