I don't think Arid should be considered a serious competitive map. My memory is a little hazy but I think blood bath had a longer rush distance and a more defendable natural. Okay that was a joke but wow, thanks for removing the two maps I had vetoed Blizzard. But I'm pissed you gave me at least one new map to veto. Final edit: They should take a hint- it's not that there are SO MANY MORE zergs on the ladder than T/P. It's all Zergs veto the same maps that put them behind before they've made their first worker! Naturally Zs play mostly the same maps and T/P veto maps for the exact same reason. Therefore: Buttload of mirror matches because most players tend to agree which maps are bad for which races. If you're making maps.. that are bad for a race...  | ||

Seriously, since FFE is out of the question, I'm forced to x gate expand or tech- the problem is that zergs know this, and they simply take a fast third while keeping on top of scouting me, and the ridiculously covered and close third means pushes or tech cheeses are much more likely to fail than usual. However, in the games that I did manage to get my natural up without being significantly behind, I was able to take a very fast third myself as well on only 2-4 gates and defend it easily to gain a bit midgame advantage. IMBA map for PvZ for sure, because most FFE builds revolves around a mid-game push or some kind of tech that forces the zerg to stop droning, but since the 3rd is so easily defended my zerg opponents have gone up to ~70 drones when my pushes hit and defended with ease due to the terrain, whereas they would have otherwise died or lost their 3rd on another map if they didn't stop droning at around 55 supply. I play random so voting down is not an option - any ideas on approaching PvZ on this map? I'm thinking of some kind of hardcore turtle build with an ultra-fast 3rd and heavy upgrades, but zerg macro and larva inject facing ZERO pressure... doesn't seem too viable to me. | ||

The entire map is ridiculously good for early aggression. I don't think Arid should be considered a serious competitive map.

I took one look at the nat and baneling busted on it, insanely bad map; the match-ups are too dependent on maps as it is without these pieces of shit in the pool, oh well, they'll never see competitive play but it makes you wonder about blizz's competence if they think that maps like these are suitable in any regard | ||

Last time I made Ultras in a PvZ I lost 5 maxes armies with superior upgrades. It's true you build Ultras if you want to lose. Mainly beig the fact that most smart Protoss will retreat to their base when they see Ultras and the Ultras just melt to blink stalker when you're forced to engage Witha max army; since it's better for a Zerg to do such a thing it's just Ultras get stomped so hard by almost any Protoss composition except heavy zealot. This is why I now go Muta every game. | ||
