IMO:
Added:Metropolis,Frigid Pass
Metropolis needs to come back to the map pool
Frigid Pass would need cross positions
Removed:Taldarim Altar,Shakuras Plateau
Taldarim Altar is disliked by all races because:
Zerg hate the rocks
Protoss hate 4 gate vs 4 gate
Terran hate the maps size
Sakuras Plateau is very large for the amount of bases outside the natural and the third that is not another natural is to open.

Maybe move the rocks on TDA to block the way from the natural to the third but not the third base position?
Shakuras is very good in my opinion, how is it large?
|
Removed: antiga/cloud/shakuras/taldarim are 4 maps that need to go.
Honestly all maps should just be replaced with GSL maps and I would be a happy camper.
|
They need to change the 2's, 3's and 4's maps up.. heck do FFA while they are at it.. one guy working for 8 hours could do that job -_- let the community design some..

IMO it needs to be re disigned so there is a base in beetween close positions and make the expo that is close by air but far by ground that is open needs to be moved.The map could be so much better if it was easier to take a 4th base

Why on earth would you remove cloud kingdom?

god no don't add metropolis. that map just produces really retarded games that end awkwardly since you can't properly kill someone.

OMG thats right,we do need team maps,we got a good 2v2 map but the one that doesnt have lava sucks so badly for zerg and is rush vs rush since its so bad.We need to change 3v3 and 4v4.

Just curious, but why Cloud Kingdom? I think its still pretty good. Totally agree on the other 3 maps.

Tournaments refuse to update their map pools these days with anything new/decent so unlike past seasons, we can't just point to the tournaments for two or three new maps they could add to ladder. Most of them are already on ladder or they aren't very good/balanced.
But there are some good maps we could cycle in from the community, for sure. Just lately, both tournaments and blizzard are looking to each other for map updates.

condemed,tal darim, and shakuras need to go, and i agree with metropolis but i think frigid pass is pretty awful

Why is that?is the middle of the map badly disigned so its harder to engage easily?

i just want creative, new maps that don't fall into the format we've seen so far. and to keep rotating shit in. not to mention 2v2 maps that have been in the pool since launch (what the fuck?).
-shakuras plateau, tal'darim, antiga
shakuras sucks because everythings a choke and there are no counter attack paths. antiga sucks because you cant take a fourth and distances between expansions via air can be retarded. tal'darim sucks all around because, as OP stated, each race has a different reason for hating it--and its all legit.
i'd also remove entombed because it's a larger antiga, only with rocks blocking your third, compensated only by an easier-to-take 4th. we're left with like 2-3 maps that we end up playing over and over and over again (awful).

I just want new maps with different tile sets. Get rid of the old maps. Map balance hardly matters below masters and maybe GM anyway.

I just personally hate the map. Hate the design and look of it idk just ugly to me lol. I just in general hate that map with a huge passion :D

could you please do that with a poll?
|
This needs to be made into a poll.
Tel Darim and Shakuras Plateau for mine.
|
all maps with 4 players cross positions, make entombed always cross or always vertical so its easier for z to scout. agree with the OP for the rest.
|
antiga might stay because it is still used in some tournaments.
shakuras has to go and tda as well.
i would like to get metropolis back, its a nice map.
