I'm kind of sad because the leagues are getting harder and harder as far as I can tell.

Just switched races so I went down a few leagues. There's people in silver that know what they're doing unlike the last time I've been there which was around season 1 or 2. Actually in Gold though so I might just get the best silvers.

I'm sad that Metalopolis, Tal'Darim, and Entombed aren't being removed in favour of new maps.

Metalopolis is stagnant and not very fun to play on, as well as being one of the least popular maps as revealed by the poll by Blizzard which decided to remove Shattered.
Tal'Darim makes PvP a 4-gate fest, and Mutalisks are the only thing ever made on that map for Zerg 99% of the time.
Entombed suffers from the same problems Shattered does: Imbalanced close positions, a choke behind the natural where you can siege up and it's insanely hard to defend if you're Zerg, and if you spawn cross positions it favours the Zerg heavily due to the wide-open middle which is just begging for an army of Ling/Baneling/Ultralisk to run(roll) in from 3 sides and kill your push that is moving out.

It's extremely frustrating to play on as Terran and Protoss against Zerg, and as Protoss against Terran. As Terran Zerglings and Mutalisks can kill so many SCV's if you don't look for two seconds, and it doesn't help that the bases are so spread out, and that there are two huge pathways where the Zerg can easily counter attack one way while the Terran or Protoss attacks through the other path. It's also heavily stagnated.

Yes. I skipped season 6 due to other priorities and when I came back for season 7 I had to re-do my 5 placements. Played a lot of low league players before setting back into Diamond.

Im trying to find where you found this information about these maps removal and can't find anywhere. Are you just making a prediction of which maps you think will be removed or was it announced by blizzard?

Also is the ladder locked already?

I'd like to add my voice to DaRKMaTT3r's - is the season locked already?

I feel kinda confused as the announcement was posted only on US battle.net blog, there is no word about it on EU afaik.
