What i don't understand is why blizzard establish a system where users can vote from a set of like 20 or so user maps used in tournaments (i.e. Daybreak, Cloud kingdom, etc.), which can determine a majority of maps used in the map pool, and the remaining two or three can be blizzard generated maps?

It's great in every other matchup though. PvP shouldn't ruin it for everyone.

what? there is nothing wrong with the ladder system.. sure GM might be a mess according to some, and it probably is, but the match making in itself works like a charm.

"better ladder system", "better maps", "better achievements" That's so descriptive!

You should be making your suggestions heard on the bnet forums. I think you'll find many likeminded folks over there.

Would love that but it won't happen.

I think it's probably better for them just to swap 2/3 out and put 2/3 in. People probably don't want to learn an entire new map set, although I wouldn't be too bothered.

I am not sure who this 'people' is you talk about. Most people on ladder on a level that they do not really 'adapt' to the map. And the people that really are on a level that adapt to the map, probably have heard of these maps/have played them.

I agree it won't happen though. /sad.
I love.

I think having such short seasons takes away from the beauty of ladder. I'm not a pro player, I'm competitive and I want to get top of my division in gold, but that's virtually impossible with the current season length because I don't have as much time to play as the top in my league. :S I don't know, maybe I'd be open to a 4 month period instead of a 2 month...

That doesn't make sense... No matter how long the ladder will be those players will still be far on top... If that season was longer, they'd get way more points than you, possibly worse than the current one...
Unless you mean you don't even have time to finish your bonus pool ? If that's the case, then i'm not sure you'd want to play ladder at all :/
Better stick for tournaments and such.

here is to hoping they figure out GM league and stop fucking it up.

like that'll ever happen
you see maps like arid plateau and you realize blizz dont give a fuck what the community wants

either that or they are just incompetent

Doesn't matter. They purposely make maps "imbalanced" so the lower level players can find them more entertaining to play on. Imagine as a new player, you play on a long map each time with a lot of expansions. It can be quite intimidating. So they incorporate maps like Arid Plateau in order to make it fun for all. If you dont like a map, you have veto checks because higher level people dont like short rush distances (save teran)
But lower level players like to "rush", it seems. So yeah, if you are higher level then you have veto checks to cross off the shitty maps, but you can cross out the long rush distances if you are a lower player.
But, as it turns out, even the pro maps arent that good. Taldarim is a bit suck-ish. As a Zerg player I can say that. You cant get brood lords on that map.
Anyway, maybe the maps will get balanced as time goes on but there will always be 1-3 maps that are purposely imba.

Everyone gold and above adapts to maps to some degree and some players who are below that.

People like to play on maps they're familiar with, some change is nice but most players do not want an entirely new map pool every season.
