Why the hell are most of these maps negative in votes?

ALL of these maps are better than ANYTHING we have in the ladder right now.

When people vote for maps - DO NOT vote for things which are like maps in the current pool. I'm so fucking tired of easy third and easy 4th maps. I'm so tired of the same old crap.

FFS, vote for these! Most of these have great potential. The third should be awkward compared to what it is now. It should require a player to strech to defend it. Strech - but not too far. Most of these maps are like this.

NEXT - start voting for maps with things other than 8m/2g! Blizzard is pretty stupid for keeping that format. It's time to experiment ffs. It's time to do cool things. It's time to branch out. It's time - b/c the game can only get better from this.

People have become almost entitled to really easy thirds, lol. Maybe that would create more use for the nydus worm (that and removing the sound it makes).

IMO TDA, Shakuras, and Condemned out and Frigid Pass, Khaydaria, and Nerazim in.

Seen plenty of good games on Khydaria and Frigid Pass in the Korean Weekly. Would like to see GSL Whirlwind added in.

It seems like people are voting yes/no on maps just on the proximity of the third base. Have a look through them all, that seems to be the ONLY deciding factor.

Which is why map contests should be done by experienced mapmakers and never by the public ^_^

I feel you've put too many maps, I don't know if people will actually take the time to sit down and think about them.

I'm very disappointed in these maps. Most of them look fucking gorgeous, but thirds are impossible to take as protoss. Make maps where the third is some what decent for macro game protoss.

I don't need them to. They are not making the ultimate decision. This is simply a rough gauge of the public's interest.

Dragons of Eden looks Amaaazzzing! reminds me of Chrono Trigger and for some reason, war3 TDs.
Too bad Blizz will never use maps with different resource lay outs.

I think OP needs to trim down the map list, would yield better results.

side note: I don't think maps that aren't forced cross-spawn work well with sc2. Maybe Hots will change things.

Yeah I was just thinking the same thing about the forced cross-spawn. It feels like I've never seen a 4 player map that looked like it would play out nicely with all spawns enabled. That said, when I was looking through the maps in the OP I noticed a few that seemed pretty nice even with all spawns enabled. Unfortunately there were so many maps to look at I dont remember what they were called

If I made judgements about what to include here then I would editorializing and that is not my intention. I don't think I am qualified to make those decisions. Just trying to get the ball rolling here. I was also trying to convey to the uninitiated the effort being put in by the mapping community.

Then maybe they should all be posted in the mapmaking forum and can be narrowed down to a lower number.

Cherno looks so good in-game T_T

Khaydaria
Muspelheim
Spring
Vicious

...and a couple more all produced some pretty good games. I wouldn't be surprised if one day one of these maps takes a ladder spot.

Frigid Pass looks so OP for turtling Terran. easy 4 base with tanks.
some of these maps look pretty cool though, Titanis being my favorite map aesthetically.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

I agree. I am a fan of that map it fixes a lot of the problems that Crossfire had while maintaining the good parts.

Stop taking drugs, you make no sense.
There are absolutely horrendeous maps there, imbalanced as hell.

On to the topic itself, some of the maps that have gotten positive votes are too heavily favored to certain race. You guess what race that is.
