Their plans for the map pool are excellent. Hopefully with these changes, ladder play can more closely follow the current professional metagame.

I find it weird that Antiga Shipyards is always the test map, it cannot be the most balanced map in the pool?

Map pool changes. Love it. WP Blizzard.
IT nerf can be ok. They still will be strong mid-late game but will get a lot weaker i veryvery lategame and spamming IT will not bo as viable as it was.

They should have a warning or smt during the loading screen about cross-spawn only. Not everyone read TL or Bnet.

I did the Picard face-palm when I read this. Give players the benefit of the doubt. Plenty of people in lower leagues watch MLG/GSL/IPL/NASL/Dreamhack/SPL/Homestory/TSL/Iron Squid. They know how games generally go. Mechanics/game decisions are a different story. Glad to finally see this change :D

This is so long over due that I'm hardly even happy its happening. There should be more repercussions for this whole "you have completely neglected your customers for the last 2 years in even the smallest changes, but its OK, because rather late than never". Also, how ironic these changes would take effect only weeks before Blizzard would like to increase interest in the market for the sales of their new release.

Glad Blizzard is finally waking up. Better late than never.

Yeah this line makes absolutely no sense at all, and I think they know it. They are just trying to save some face for the decision. Anyone who might have been confused by strange start position rules before will still be confused afterwards. And in the vast majority of cases, newer/worse players won't even notice, they will just play as if all spawns are the available and will live happily ever after not knowing.

Yup. It is not like beginners are tailoring making their builds based on spawn locations. For people that have enough knowledge to vary their builds/strategies due to starting locations, they know about the rules.

Having just watched the PvZs in the TSL vs coL match, I think ITs are weak enough as it is now. It would make them completely useless. Zergs have to cast them before games now and they can just be kited. So perhaps they should move faster on creep or something if they're going to lose their weapon and armor upgrades.

They keep nerfing the infester piece by piece, but they don't seem to want to give anything back to replace it.

Happy if they change maps more often. It's insulting to the lower level players if they think they can't figure out spawn positions. People aren't actually licking their keyboard buttons when they play you know Blizzard, stop treating us like retards. Lower level players would actually prefer larger maps, because then they can't be rushed as quickly and can have long base building matches or whatever. Blizzard actually have it backwards regarding low level map design.
