It's very deceptive, especially since the Metropolis LE preview image is of the correct, adjusted LE version of the map with rocks on the islands instead of creep tumors. Why Rocks on the islands.. they're going to be next to impossible to take :S I guess it evens things up a bit in that Zerg can't build the base immediately after the tumour is gone, but Zerg usually needs more and faster bases anyway so why would that be a problem? I don't think I like that. | ||

Other than that, I like the map pool a lot right now. Metropolis is probably the most interesting out of the new maps, and also probably really hard as terran but meh. | ||

I don't get it, blizzard said they don't know how to make maps and therefore they just take community maps but then they have to change stuff. Why Blizzard? why? | ||

At least in broadcasted matches so far. Only in like really long games, and even then, those expoes are extremely hard to defend. I think the map could do without them. | ||

That'll still get downvoted. Two more left to take out, if I want. I'll have to play on the new maps first... | ||

Why are maps such as Metalopolis, Shakuras, and Tal Darim still in the map pool? These maps have been around for over a year and, there are positional imbalances on all three where X race gains a advantage spawning in a certain location. A prime example is close air spawn on Metal in TvZ, where T has opportunities to do more damage with his regular openers due to the short distance.
Maps have been changed so they don't confuse the casual players. This removes any sort of variation which also has an effect on balance. All maps are forced to have 8m2g at every single base and they replace any different type of expansion blockers with rocks. Metropolis had creep tumors blocking the island expo's now they have replaced that with rocks. This allows for Terrans to simply lift their CC and float and instantly start mining, no longer a need to bring an scv and wait for the creep to recede. | ||

Blizzard has a policy of changing maps to suit casual and new gamers. Having creep tumors, unconventional bases and random neutral supply depots will sort of confuse casual gamers I guess. But it's just a bad move IMO. It's not really that difficult to put a disclaimer in the map description or have players figure it out on their own. EDIT: But then again, given that they didn't even bother changing the two preview shots of Daybreak and Metropolis to reflect the changes they did.... | ||
