Blizzard proves their incompetence when it comes to mapmaking with every new season. Akilon Flats is just a terrible map, in HotS as well as in WoL. Still no cross spawn on 4v4 maps, still no neutral supply depots, still joke maps such as Comdemned Ridge in the map pool. Just adopt the GSL map pool FFS.

Akilon is nice, but Newkirk is just plain weird. Half of the map is not used and the action will gather around the lower XNT in the middle. Am I the only one who thinks that protoss will have hard time securing 3rd there?

About GSL or Kespa maps: meh. Maybe Caldeum and Abyssal city, definitely not Whirlwind. Maps that are getting larger and larger promote deathballism too much. We need more intense maps that have features that promote early and midgame aggression. Cloud Kingdom does this, Bel'Shir beach did this, but maps like TDA and Condemned and Metalopolis are just too damn huge to be especially attractive. Too much empty space to travel and too much time for opponent (read: zerg) to pump out all the units needed to deal with the aggression.
I play children's card games and watch a lot of dota, CS and HS

lol, you obviously don't know maps very well if you'd prefer TDA over just about anything other than steppes of war, delta quadrant, or scrap station.

Blizzard should stop making maps its just wasted workforce. Just delete Taldarim and Shakuras and give us whirlwind or one of the Kespa maps, it isnt that hard. Why dont they see that they really suck in the map department?

Akilon flats seems like a very interesting map, but I'm afraid the natural ramp is too large, just if it was a bit smaller it would been great. But like that, it's hard to ffe on the map. I like newkirk district less, not sure if it's because the map is poorly designed especially with the watch towers most people point out or just because I lost on it a lot in hots.

Everyone who wants to can play them right now in hots, and has been for a while. People don't even hate because of the maps themselves, they hate because blizzard continues to ignore the obvious. There are people in korea who literally get paid to make good maps, there is an entire sub-community all about making maps, yet they choose to let whatever incompetent person at blizzard continue to make maps and they put them into a ladder pool they themselves said would be made more tournament like, I don't see any wol tournaments with the 2 new maps or condemned ridge. Yet I do see maps like whirlwind or abyssal city or even the new kespa maps being used.

But hating obviously doesn't do shit otherwise we would have a good map pool by now, so lets just get some people to figure out how to run a private b.net 0.2.

THANK GOD THANK BLIZZARD they are getting rid of Ulaan Deeps (map had broken strategies) and Monsoon (should never have been brought back in the first place)

That being said, Twisted Vern seems pretty bad at first glance. In many cases the distance your opponents have to go to get to your expansions is almost the same you have to go. That is just stupid design.

Backwater Complex looks fun but seems to also suffer from short distances and ambiguous base syndrome.

The 1v1 maps are.... uninspiring. They had so many good maps to choose from and they decided to just throw these two in, I doubt we'll see them stick around for very long. Its about time they got rid of Shakuras and TDA though, just because they were getting stale.

Nice that Shakuras and Tal'Darim are gone. I don't know what I think about the new maps, but I guess they'll help the transition into HotS.

Colour me excitement.

Edit: I'm glad Blizzard is continuing to produce maps. It's not like they refuse to incorporate community maps into the map pool, they just mix them in.

I think this is better for diversity, even if it isn't perfect (which is why downranking exists)

to bad blizzard rarely inputs community maps. Last one was what daybreak and cloud kingdom which are pretty old now.

I would like to see some of the Kespa maps (Arkanoid!!). They look fun and promote really really different playstyles.

The last ones was Daybreak and Metropolis.

The latter being such a faillure may explain why this havn't happened again.
