I unvetoed Tal'Darim lately just to give it a go again. I then proceeded to die to 3 mass muta builds on it and remembered why I vetoed it in the first place (All that open space around each base is such a pain). I love the 4gate PvP on it but that map is still really dumb and needs to go.

Considering their entire balance team have been doing nothing but focusing on HOTS i am honestly not surprised that they choose to do this. They got plenty of stats from a crowd that matches ladder to some extent. No time wasted developing new WOL or playtesting community maps when you got all the stats in the world for these very easy to port maps.

In addition to priority problems, I think it would be weird if they added new maps to WoL that aren't in HotS. You kinda gotta think of it as adding new maps to both at once, just that they had to wait for a new season to start to introduce the WoL ones. It would have been better for them to add actual new ones we haven't seen in HotS yet either to both ladders at the same time, I suppose, but that would have required more maps and it doesn't really matter.

While it feels a bit disappointing that we don't actually see new maps, I see the benefits of it as well. If players (pro players in particular) have the ability to already know and understand the maps before HotS comes out, then they can make better games since they can focus on utilizing the new units and abilities and not worry about the map so much.

After thinking about it, I think it makes sense. The problem I have with it is that these maps aren't very good.

In HoTS TvT is actually really good on this map. Lots of drop area for bio against mech and nice chokes for mech against bio.

It's a pretty decent map, but I always feel removing the norhtern tower would do a lot of good for this map. It would open up a lot more attack paths/drop possibilities in late game.
I like that they add HotS maps, we will get them anyways in March, and this way the map pool changes more gradually.

I think its time for a 3rd party ladder to rise up and replace the Blizzard one ------- before they kill their own game by insisting on making their own ladder maps.

The way they insist on making the middle of every map un-passable due to watchtowers is just annoying.



If there's really enough demand for it, I don't see why a ladder set up like the original WGT wouldn't work.


It's a huge load of work.
WGT, PGT, etc had tons of people dedicating their time to it.
If there would be a ladder like PGT, I am sure, everyone would use it. I just dont know if it's possible with the way SCIIs works

My biggest hope for HOTS is that blizzard will hopefully take a better involvement in the community maps - blizzard relationship. We have tons of community maps out there that they could add in to the pool for a season to help test out, but often will go several seasons of not adding a help or add in their own bad products when the community will make it for free

This is extremely disappointing, with so many new maps and features that are out there made by the community, GSL and other tournaments, blizzard implements mediocre maps. The only map that i like the most is "backwater complex", due to the team expansions. Other than that i am not impressed.

Just when I thought about coming back to sc2 for 2013 XD
I'll just stick to dota and thank you blizzard, you surely know how to make your game even more brainless every patch you release
one dimensional straight forward map with xel nagas that cover every attack path? yo-hoooo, FUCK YEAH IT LOOKS LIKE SUCH A GREAT IDEA DUSTIN LET'S THROW THEM IN
This is so disgustingly stupid I don't even know why they keep doing this job, they are awful at it and there's no denying it.

The 3v3 Ladder Map Pool

We need way more maps like these in 2v2s, 3v3s, and 4v4s...

Also I don't understand why people complain about the new maps being HotS maps.... Anything is better than Tal'Darim and Shakura's.... Especially after the 2 years they've been in the pool...

How do you mean? Arent the majority of teamplay maps like these with the exception of 3:3 maps...until now that is. I guess if you like to play like 1:1 in teamgames (I hate people like that) and dont want to learn any team strats Backwater is great. Twisted wern is kinda interesting with it's BW styled middle but fortressmaps are extremely broken and there are already 90% of teammaps. Counter? What is that? I have seen countless games being decided by counters but thats impossible on these new maps. Going to tumb down these unless I'm going to troll and go for BC's or something.

EDIT: Meh I only got one veto left after this change.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.
