Wtf?

They're actually using Korhal City, Newkirk, Star Station? These maps fucking suck and are a disgrace to the game.

The other maps, Whirlwind and Daybreak, are boring and old (albeit Whirlwind is more boring/imba than old). Blizzard shouldn't have incorporated them. And they're not using Cloud Kingdom? That's the only old map I'd like back...

Seriously not impressed by this map pool. Ladder maps determine competition play, and these are not suited for competition. Get some real maps!

I like how star station, Newkirk city, and Korhal city beat out cloud kingdom. Who's terrible idea was that?

Blizz should make a mixed map pool:

-Metalopolis
-Whirlwind
-Scrap Station
-Belshir Beach
-Belshir Vestige
-Planet S
-Korhal City
-Scrap Station
-Desert Oasis

IMAGINE THE VARIETY!


+1
I'd much rather have a lot more variety than 100% balance on all maps, makes it so much for fun especially for observers. As long as we have an average balance of nearly 50% some small imbalances in favor of variety should definitely be accepted.


Variety isn't the same as bad gameplay, don;t confuse the two. Desert, Scrap, Korhal,all are bad for gameplay.

I think you're somewhat wrong... ladder maps determine absolutely crap for competitive play, because the tournament map pools are remarkably slim on ladder maps. Unless they're maps that were added to the ladder AFTER being in competitive play. (Or, I guess, when WoL first came out.)

Also, what's wrong with an in-base expansion?
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

Tired of daybreak, will never tire of Cloud Kingdom. I won't veto any of the maps though.

Neo planet is one of those maps that would be called "worst map ever" if it was made by Blizzard. Hard to get/keep a third, small, and the middle is just plain weird. But hey its made by Kespa, must be good huh?

I'm vetoing korhal city and star station so far. Didn't like those maps to begin with and games in the beta didn't convince me otherwise.

Well if this was WoL, i'd be raging as this would be an incredibly zerg biased map pool as well as a fairly boring one. Not sure what it'll be like here though so will wait and see, i don't think I'll veto anything to begin with.
Always loved watching TvT on Whirlwind, so hopefully it's as fun to play also.
Personally, I never really saw what the fuss is about with Cloud Kingdom, always seemed like a rather boring map to me, but I guess i'm in the minority there

So you think Planet S is one of the worst maps ever...but you won't veto it?

I actually like smaller and more involving maps, but the general opinion has always been against them.

Almost want to veto Starstation just because of the layout reminding me of piece of shit D3. Glad Daybreak is still in though, good to have one map you can always rely on.

why would someone veto newKirk? seems really good to me
Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.
