even as a toss i love tal darim, i hardly ever get pvp on it ad some of my most awsome games are on it!. metal is zerg favored, shatteredgoodbye, never liked you much anyway, daybreak o boy you look nice, can we at least try tweaking entombed and korhal? on entombed perhaps make third ramp a mega ramp like on tal darim? as well as the path between the bases a little widder. korhal the third needs to be fixed obviously il leave that up to monitor because many people have voiced the correct concerns with that map.

il never understnd why there are never patches for maps, because i feel little changes to em can make em a whole lot better because at the current state im not seeing that much balance in all the maps, however a feel little changes could greatly help that i think.

I voted for Entombed Valley. Even though I play protoss, I just don't enjoy playing games on the map. Can't remember one fun game I've played on it. Same goes for Shattered, but I only had one vote.

Used both of my accounts to vote for Shattered. I hate that map. Though I can understand why all the Protoss on there hate it between 4gate and mass mutas. I'm super pumped for Daybreak. I practice that map a ton already when I practice macroing so I'm already familiar with it.

Also, as per usual the comments are gold.

Can all the people who hate close spawns (aka exciting games) just go play sim city and stop whining?

This one is particularly bad:

vote for cloud kingdom the map is absolute garbage. ESV has the worst mapmakers next to blizzard. Use GSL maps, screw awful ESV maps made by silvers and golds.

"ESV is bad, Cloud Kingdom is bad. use GSL maps"... *facedesk*

Actually I'm hoping they'll also remove close positions on maps like Antiga/Entombed.. but that might be too much to ask from Blizzard.

I really hope blizzard changes their mind about Ohana.

Ohana is so ridiculous. It's almost as if the creator couldn't whine more about Zerg's overpoweredness. Quick, we need to give rooms for Mutas to shoot so that Protoss can't punish Zergs for massing so many mutas instead of trying different ways .... =.=

Note: This is from the changelist where the entire changes that were listed were completely ZvP, fixed Zerg not having this and that. There's no, oh we should probably decrease choke size so that Protoss has a chance for a nice FFE.

if i had to pick one to remove based upon the 'options' bliz gave us to consider, i would more than likely go with Shattered....wasnt a great map when it was 'lost temple' and proceeded to be equally not as great as Shattered temple....

Although I don't have any MAJOR problems with any of the maps.. Shattered, Metal, and Shakuras need to be retired. Maybe Tal Darim as well. We're coming out with newer and better maps, and they're just inflating the map pool.

It was between shattered and metal for me, but I voted shattered. I don't like all of the destructible rocks on that map. If I want to take a fast 3rd as zerg, it has to be on the other side of the map, and can be very challenging to defend. On the other hand, securing a 3rd as T or P seems to be easier since the only way into to the 3rd is through those rocks, and the top of the ramp can be walled off with just 3 buildings.

These new maps are sick and I cannot wait to see shattered temple get removed from the map pool. Ladder play was getting a bit stale and some fresh new maps should help spice up the gameplay.

Daybreak is the best map out there right now! Shakuras, Metal, Cloud Kingdom are all pretty decent maps but Shattered defiantly needs to go!

To be honest I've never had such a big issue with Shattered as Z. Get a little creative and don't theory yourself to death trying to take such a fast 3rd, especially with how easy it is to defend the 3rd once you do get the rocks down. Surprised to see Metal with so many votes when there is crap like Entombed and TD in the pool just because people are "tired of it." I'd rather play the same old map as long as it is playable. I don't have enough games on Korhal and CK to say definitively. With 10 maps in the pool I wonder if we will get more vetos... I liked the idea of having fewer maps in tournaments, seems like Blizz is going the opposite way with ladder.
