(2) Newkirk District is the same as the stupid HOTS beta map, just without the free expo in your base. Should be a laugh i guess.

Wish they would continue to add GSL maps to the ladder, they seemed to have stopped doing that!!

There's a probe in your icon so I assume you're trolling

Tal'darim & Shakuras gone is only reasonable. New maps seem like nothing new but should definitely be better than the two removed ones. And I kind of like fighting on city-designed maps.
We shall see. I hope to be playing more in 2013

Shakuras was only here since Beta
One more season and the map would have been here for the WHOLE WINGS OF LIBERTY

If you don't get why that's bad then..
These maps seems decent when I played them in Hots
People will groan because they don't like changes, but I'll take these maps instead of Whirlwind anyday.

I honestly wish Blizzard would simply use the most up to date GSL map pool for the ladder, for better or for worse (I honestly think maps like Abyssal City *would* be problematic, though).

That is because Blizzard gotta keep it simple with regards to ladder maps. Metropolis was kinda the extreme example as it lagged sometimes even in tournements.

Ohana had to be practically remade before it was deemed okay latency for ladder. I am not sure if that happened to korhal aswell.

Not everyone got tournement leveled PC hardware. But if they forfill the minimum requirements for SC2 then the demand for ladder maps is that they run smoothly. On appropiate settings of course.

Meh the 3:3 maps look like shit to play on and they remove two decent maps. This is not good at all, 3:3 used to have a bit different map pool compared to other teamplay maps but now it'll be pretty similar to 4:4 and 2:2. Dont like it a bit, prefered the more BW like feel of 3:3.
As for (6) Backwater Complex I cant really tell where the mains are. So pissed right now, I'll have to go and blow some steam off in the ski trails.
The 1:1 maps are an improvement, atleast since they remove old boring maps.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.

Same boring vanilla maps as always. I want something different. All these maps are all the same.

Ask harder for Custom ladder for legacy of the void. That way everyone wins.


But....that idea is horrible. Kinda like these maps.

They're not shit terrible....just not very good. Blizzard seems completely capable of making decent maps, mediocre even. But it's been established that GSL and KESPA make the great maps. This, along with the goddamned Fungal nerf-buff-nerf-buff, makes me a sad panda.


So your response to say for example: A king ruling his kingdom with full crown authority, oppressing various factions within his community is to say, well. Democracy would be terrible. This guy is doing alright right?

Worst analogy ever, but it should get the point across. Plenty of people have said blizzard sucks, plenty of people (destiny thread) have pointed and said the custom map system is horrible, and myself I quit playing ladder because half the maps sucked back then, and zerg didn`t have patchfestor. Half of these maps probably still do suck, and will continue to do so as outside of ladder play SC2 is a massive paperweight.

Obviously the ideal situation would be to put more power to the community. To have blizzard do their yearly whatever, and then hand everyone the tools they would need to craft their own experiences within SC2. If not then legacy of the void will simply not have much to roll with in therms of longevity when compared with broodwar. You might say custom ladder is shit, but guess what. ICCUP was (and still is) a custom ladder. It might be using the balance left by blizzard, but it still rolled with its own maps.

Now that Shakuras and Tal'Darim are gone it's time to veto Antiga Shipyard and Condemned Ridge.

I was hoping for some of the new Kespa maps. I didn't think it would happen, but nevertheless I was hoping.

Ah well.

This, + make entombed close by air and cross only. I don't know why blizz needs so much time to implement very simple changes, commonly tested and accepted by community as beneficial for the game.

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...
