Odd to see people saying Blizz doesn't listen after we just saw them listening to a huge amount of community feedback. I can live with decent maps instead of perfect maps, if Blizzard is on point with other stuff which they've shown they can be.

I'm always happy to see new maps for team games, but 3v3 is the only that has a semi-decent map pool. 2v2 and 4v4 are in a terrible state.

Would it be illegal to create a custom ladder? It probably isn't something that hard to do actually.

They replaced shakuras with its clone, so useful.
For the other map wait and see, it might be a better surprise than expected but still it sucks when potential good maps are waiting outside.
Zest fanboy.

Condemned Ridge is clearly a much better choice than Abyssal City, Bel'shir Vestige, Bifrost, Caldeum, Grand Lagoon, Muspelheim, Planet S, or Whirlwind.

Just a reminder that the designer of sc2's most popular community map retired because blizzard sucks.

Which one is it? Shakuras and TDA are pretty hated these days. They're just not balanced.

I think he meant map maker. It took me a while to figure it out, too.

Akilon Flast is horrible from any perspective.

Newkirk is just bad, classic decent Blizz map, but still bad. Is pretty much like a bigger Shakuras with 2 spawn locations.

rofl... Seriously blizzard I don't even play WoL but why WHY do you guys refuse to use tournament maps?

Why would you add your own crappy maps?

Sigh to bad blizzard doesn't allow third party to do something because this is a joke. The fact it's going to be the same in hots with the map pool is kinda depressing to think about to :/.

Whirlwind is terrible/old/unpopular and Abyssal City is meh.

I'd much rather have new maps that I haven't played on/seen people play on much over the dumpster GSL maps that you named...

whirlwind is a pretty good map, it's shown some great games so far

Please somebody get us a private server. Blizzard is obviously as incompetent about maps as always. Like literally all they need to do is get someone to post a poll before every season to take two maps out and get two new ones in.

I really hope somebody figures out how to run their own b.net 0.2 server soon, because otherwise I need to get a friendlist full of people to run customs all day, as ladder is gonna be a huge joke. Didn't they say they wanted to make the ladder pool a tournament map pool? I highly doubt any tournament will adopt these shitty new maps (why the fuck are they still making maps anyways they obviously suck at it, the only blizzard maps still used in tournaments are highly imbalanced in some matchups), just copy the kespa/gsl map pool ffs.
Maybe that's where the group function comes in, how ironic.


Almost as ironic as not being able to find friends, or easily play with people around your skill level without being force into ladder and horrible maps. Funny how that logic works, right?

Seriously, you cannot justify the actions blizzard is taking at this point. You can give them valid evidence as to why they should fix it, but if they just continually ignore the community, as they have been doing, we're really only left with the depression that comes from being stuck with this set of developers and community leaders.

@Sumadin : Just because you see it coming, or just because it's continually been happening, does not make a horrible decision justifiable. It's still illogical and does not help further the community, marketing sales, or the social interpretation of those who are "supposed" to be listening to us at blizzard.
just for the record, i'm on this issue pretty much on your side. Bolded part in your post is exactly what i meant. Sorry for my poor communication.

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.


I think China has some sort of three party ladder based on pirate version of sc2? I may be wrong.

I wouldnt be surprised if GSL rotatated those 2 maps out of there pool for next season.


I actually would be shocked if they removed whirlwind. That map has provided so many epic games I just don't see GSL removing a good map that has shown so many good games in the few games played on it xD.

Is there a way to test these maps if you don't have HotS access? Or does anyone have a closeup on the naturals and their entrances with building grid to see how it's possible to wall off?

Hopefully I will finally be able to veto Antiga Shityard if both new maps are playable!

Edit: Oh they were in the client already. Just create a game vs AI if you want to try them out!

Also I don't understand why they are not removing Condemned ridge... Does anyone actually play it?

Edit 2: So I tested the map and both are pretty horrible imo. The naturals are just completely fucked uip, the map sizes and third placements as well. I'm starting to think Blizzard mapmakers don't even think about stuff like proper mineral placement, naturals where your main building isn't 100 yards away from the ramp, scouting times etc... I think they just freestyle a map up, don't test anything, not use any standardizations and just release it...?
