Seconded.

Metalopolis, Taldarim, Cloud Kingdom and Metropolis have no place in the map pool. Daybreak is a welcome addition though, that map makes up for the rest of the ladder's failings in my opinion.

The maps the community goes through painstakingly to balance, edit, tweak and find cleaver solutions to complicated problems over the course of several months from various creators to get the most balanced and fun maps for competitive play. Only to get their work shat on by Blizzard in less than a week.

Good god Blizzard, revert your crappy changes, they aren't helping anybody.

Blizzard shouldnt cater for the casual gamer. Why should those who take Blizzards game seriously, have to adjust for those who play the game at lower levels (and more than likely play the game A LOT less). If anything, those in lower leagues, should have to adjust to those in the higher levels. Balance maps from the top down, not from the bottom up.

Since I would get warned/banned for making a comment like that, you could at least give us an explanation. They aren't doing everything right, but I don't see any horrifying news in my opinion.

Excited for Daybreak... not sure about the other two maps, look like Terran nightmares.

Wow, metro and daybreak were balanced in part of those cool things (6m1hyg and creep tumor). I just feel blizz is just picking and choosing maps and making them ladder friendly, even if it imbalances them.

Does Metropolis have any spawn restrictions, such as no 'close by ground' ?

Will be so much easier for Terran on Metropolis to take the island expos which now only have rocks blocking them.

Wonder if the map(s) still have some tiles read "GSL"...

A lot of complaints going around in this thread. Indeed, the map pool could be better. However, it could also be a lot worse, and in fact it has been much worse in the past.

The days of Slag Pits, Steppes of War, and Kulas Ravine still seem like only yesterday for me. I, for one, welcome these ladder maps even though I dislike their changes.

Only close air and cross, yeah. Just like Metalopolis and Shakuras.

This is the best map pool we've had by far. You just can't please anyone sometimes.

Hate train picking up passengers!

I think it's good blizz is finally making the ladder pool moreso like a tournament one, I'm just not liking these weird little changes like the 6m>8m stuff.
