Look closer.

And thus all zergs will downvote this map. Get on it Blizzard!

Wow...can't believe they missed that. I hope they fix it, those two maps are a good deal better than your average blizzard map.

I'm glad that Blizzard realizes that Nazarim Crypt and Abyssal Caverns are bad maps and will remove these ones. I just wait to make a judgement for the two new ones. Anyway Antomed Valley seems to be a Zerg/Protoss map in which Terran will struggle against a 3-4 early expo economies.
Let's wait and see.

Wow, that first map looks like a really great protoss/terran map!
If the spawns are as I expect (the postitons where there is no backdoor rocks), then protecting a third is so much easier
|
well when they fix that point of the map,..so easy for a zerg to get 4 basesand has easy access too all of them shame..
|
Wait so Xel Naga is going to be in the map pool for a fifth season?
SIGH.....
|
I also think the big hole next to the natural would be really annoying in PvT when a terran just flies his vikings over it and shoots at your colossi with you unable to do anything about them. Also if zergs gets broodlords over it it's instant GG in PvZ.
Edit. Talking about Arid Plateau obviously

My only hope in a decent map is our TL map (which ever one that is, but many of them are better than the two official blizz maps)

You mean the same holes that make chokes that are perfect for Force Fields?

Let's wait and see. I just fail to understand how everyone says that those maps are bad... Can you please provide good feedback ? I find them wayyyyyy more playable than say Xel'Naga Cavern. From Zerg's PoV...

"Zerg's PoV" says everthing :D just kidding.
Maybe if they just made Abyssal Caverns as a automatic cross position map it could be a good one. But Nazarim Crypt is just bad. This kind of tongue as ur main base where u cant see anything in early game, a map too little for a 4 spawn possibility, and so on. It was like Backwater Gulch... Just an awful map. But that's still my point of view.

So much complaining in this thread already.... have any of you actually played the maps before you started QQ'ing about them? Are you also the same guys that have been crying for new maps since the start of season 4? LOL, does anyone ever do anything that you approve of!?!?
|
I didn't like the two maps they're removing anyway so I'm quite happy
|
Looking at how unispired tilesets they use makes me a sad panda. Probably they dont want to deal with the backlash more colorful maps would create, and kill esports obviously.
|
OP needs to add Blizzard's explanations on why they make these maps.
|
I kind of feel sorry for the TL map winners to be compared to "Blizzard Standards"
|
AHAHAHAHA. That is actually hilarious. ♥ Bunker rush tomfoolery.. I hope Blizz fixes that before the Season starts.

I'm pretty surprised by that too. They're adding in another 2-player map, so I would have thought they'd remove XNC rather than a 4-player map in its place.
