A small victory against the tyranny of destructive rocks, but we must persist, we must continue. Not one stop backwards.

The game shoudnt be balanced by having rocks at the 3d all the time. And I thought zerg was suposed to be up one base vs the other races. Well if thats not true blizzard should balance that with the races not by fing rocks.
Idk why there need to be rocks and watch towers and useless grass on every map for no reason, instead of being unique to a few maps so its way more exiting. Besides the only one of these that even have inpact on gameplay are the rocks. Grass and watchtowers could also have impact if blizzard went a little fancy with them, but they dont, which is sad.

I hope in the future destructible anything will be as unique to a map as it was in brood war and watch towers, grass and collapsable rocks only add to that.

Zerg was supposed to be up one TOWN HALL vs the other races, because it's a production facility.

There should not be a god-given right to 50% more income.

Base doesn't mean income up. Three Base income against two will put the Zerg ahead. If there's no risk involved with taking and saturating a third mining base Zerg will just be at an advantage.

Only really benefits the zerg
I hate the 3 early base zerg style, too strong T.T

It makes for more diverse play. When a zerg can't take an early third, it usually forces the zerg to do some two base all in or the zerg must open two base muta or two base infestor. Both of the ladder strats are out of date so not blocking the third balances out the map.


You know what also makes for bad games ? Guaranteing a Zerg third within 5 minutes in TvZ . Forces the Terran to play ultra greedy or all-in like crazy but hey Zerg is more important than anything else i guess.

So nothing is going to change what so ever about terran play.


Probably because anything else is an autoloss against Zerg . There's no safe build that works in TvZ .

Please don't turn this thread into balance QQ.

my imagined dustin browder response:
"You know what? Let's make it look like we're taking out rocks. Then put them back in as a group of rocks. That's right. a destructible debris field, so I screw zergs over even more >:D"

I like this change =D
I play protoss because it's imbalanced. :D

This is stupid. I don't know why people are so happy, they must play zerg or play protoss deathball. 3 close bases with only one entrance, that has a small choke. You won't be able to punish a zerg for taking a quick third on this map with spines and queens at their choke. Defend, max or close to max on 3 bases, take 4th, move out. If they're going to take away destructable rocks, they should at least add another entrace to the base.


This will be the first map for me to veto. Actually, it would probably be easier to just switch to zerg, with how strong they are now. They'll probably be even stronger in HOTS.

Memo from Blizzard: "We understand from community feedback that blocking third base locations with destructable rocks is disliked by the majority of players. We understand, and have updated our maps accordingly. Third bases are now blocked by indestructable rocks.

Please keep the constructive feedback coming so that we can continue to improve your playing experience. Thank you."

Rocks at 3rd base are bad, but it's just too easy to take a 3rd now. Somehow I'd prefer rocks to stay, now I'll just have to veto this map.

Good move by blizzard--never seen destructible rocks removed before and it's nice to see them going in a direction that is even more community feedback oriented than before (when dealing with maps, that is)
How do you beat a terran who's hardcore turtling off 3 base? Flip him on his back and walk away."

Browder leaves his Blizzard home for a few days and this is what happens. Heresy!

Destructible rocks are an odd 'tool' to balance the game, but somewhat it works... Dunno what to think of the change.
You must gather your party before venturing forth.
