So basically even GSL maps have this problem. Perhaps a simple fix would be to allow geysers and mineral patches to be placed out of the grid, and whatever square they are on count as occupied.


ive thought of this back in broodwar because it had a problem similiar to this, this would fix it


Hm yea didn't think of it. It would probably have been harder to fix in BW, they should take advantage of sc2

That's not the point. The point is that Blizzard should fix these things, or put more time and effort into making maps so that these things don't happen. For me, it's more a matter of "seriously, Blizzard, you couldn't have put more time into making your maps perfect for me, the consumer", rather than "OMGWTF IMBA IMBA IMBA!!111!one".

No, the point people like you are trying to make is that you will go through any lengths to prove your own unjustified bias. Somebody in this topic even pointed out the imbalances in GSL maps, but you all continue on the Blizzard hate train. At the end of the day, you'd just as likely piss all over Daybreak if it had a Blizz stamp next to it.

To be fair, the overarching design ideas of (almost) every Blizzard-made Map in SC2 has been absolutely terrible.

And that was what, 18 months ago? Most of their recent creations have been at the very least exemplary. Of course, criticism is due in many cases, but no more than what would be required to many community maps so many people would supposedly die for.

Blizzard, please take a look at this. Positional imbalance is the easiest thing to fix.

So what you're saying is "Stop acknowledge the flaw and do nothing about it". Good call brah. Maybe we shouldn't be mean about it, but there definitely needs to be pressure to make all aspects as competitive and professional as possible. This isn't WoW. SC2 is a huge, growing eSport, and if Blizzard is as smart as we sometimes give them credit for, they'll cater to that.
