http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/9/99/Temple_of_the_Preservers.jpg This map has the same problem but worse. You can hit the main mineral line from the gold expansion which is a 10 minute run from your base to get at, AND the tanks are hard to get at there. This happened to me and it was a sad day -_- | ||

But yeah we are all 1v1 Top Masters and GSL fanatics on TL.net apparently... Any mention of playing anything other than 1's is met with insults here because apparently that is not actually part of the game (Or so they say). | ||

Id like to think Blizzard staff members would like reading through the biggest foreign starcraft community that has a good quality control, and that they would notice this post. My reason of posting here is also to alert fellow TL'ers who play teamgames like me about this abuse, whether they would veto the map or use the strategy is up to them. It's not about a nice community but you simply will have more luck that Blizzard finds it on their own forums rather then another one. | ||

If you do get the position where you can be sieged from the gold, break the rocks near your ramp asap and play a more defensive/offensive ready opener as the distance from your ramp to the opponent's nat suddenly just got a lot smaller. I generally prefer to just rush 2 port banshees to prevent this kind of crap from happening, and also giving me a chance to harrass the island expansion very early on | ||

I love it because it actually allows a macro style(Kinda) but I don't like many aspects of it. Love/hate relationship. I hate when they don't allow every player to have a natural. When they put 1 players natural in the middle of the map... I always try to veto those ones. | ||

I can see his point, but then again, it's 2v2. The land of mass void rays and all-ins. | ||

Mod can you please switch it to "[2v2] Abuse on Desolate Stronghold" so people who cant read the [2v2] part wont have to think Blizzard just brought back 5 rax reaper or some shit?

Arakan Citadel and Green Acres  Both look like awesome macro maps but always have one player missing a nat. | ||

this game and the company is so focused on "esports" that they are forgetting that ppl actually play this game for fun. they can atleast make decent maps for 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4s. FFA map pool hasnt been touched since beta. infact i remember them saying that 8v8 FFAs would be possible. i miss the epic FFAs of BW. if they are not going to focus on this part of the game then let the community handle it because they obviously dont care enough to even try beyond half assing something. | ||

Wah wah wah WELL DONT LET THEM SIEGE UP AT UR OWN CLIFF THEN PROBLEM SOLVED GGz I love how the quality of replies instantly deteriorate to Bnet level once its not inside the Strategy Forums. So to reply back to you Hey, go eat shit alright? I won that game too because the protoss player decided to spend 2000 minerals on a failed cannon rush that dealt less than 500 direct damage. And yes, its a bloody whine post because Im whining how Blizzard is fucking with teamgames. If they want to include teamgames and have ladder statistics on it they should at least work better on it, not make it worse. The next time you make a post about losing to some rush, how would you like it if some 2 bit schmuck told you to just "defend properly, make more marines" and nothing else? Jackass. | ||

We aren't blizzard, we can't do anything about it, and its 2v2s so most of us don't care, take your whine somewhere else. Oh, I made a post that has a high potential for Blizzard staff to read on due to TL being the largest Starcraft forum, and also to warn/inform TLers who play teamgames about it. Oh you dont care about 2v2? READ THE FUCKING TITLE. GTFO. I specifically added a [2v2] so only people who care about teamgames would visit/read. If you dont care about it, why the fuck did you even reply to it? | ||

Most of 2v2 maps are still the equivalent of Lost temple for 1v1. They're just lucky the 2v2 community is much less competitive and less vocal about it, but they suck as much. No comments... | ||

I NEVER see mass void rays at any number of multiplayer. I am diamond/masters so maybe that is why but yah... There are some rare odd builds that work due to it being hard to scout four people | ||
