Yes bio would suck (you also need a lot of firebats so that you can trade vs lings which makes your army bad vs mutas) , but mech is more powerful... PvT tanks always splash soo goons would suck and zealots would still die to mines (even more soo since goons would take longer to clear stuff...) I actually think that it would be balance for T if not T favored... | ||

Every SC2 game and amateur tournament will be only Fighting Spirit and then it will be just like BW. :D Can't wait for the tears of Terrans when Protoss steal their gas and then bum rush them. | ||

Except in SC2 T can actually just go marines and be fine, the gas isn't quite as necessary to rush out that first tank. | ||

>_> seriously, most of these Kespa maps are beyond silly from a balance perspective. Like, you will never in a million years see a protoss get sent out on Fighting Spirit (to macro) or take a third on Sanctuary. Colosseum seems to be the only somewhat reasonable map. But hey, standard play has never been what PL is about. Hence why I don't take PL results all that seriously right now. | ||

no its not at all the third is completely different *edit* and high ground mid I think? regardless if thats not highground it has watchtower, as well as naturals being different in air approach (natural has minerals next to the edge of map rather than space) | ||

More seriously, these maps are awesome. I'm so pleased that these guys think out of the box when it comes to mapmaking. Can't wait to get my hands on these. | ||

You have to pick one mineral line you want to be a bit closer to. In BW the hex was symmetrical, but there's a free hex to each side of the mineral lines if you place it in the center. Anyway, the center bases rarely comes into play. If you can take the center base the game is probably over already | ||

Many of the BW vets really didn't care too much about balance on new maps, knowing that the worst ones will be taken out in a few months. Disrupting the metagame often gives the game a breath of fresh air. The SC2 scene, on the other hand, is just way too obsessed with balance. People take the pitchforks out and march against a 51-49 imbalance. | ||

You have to pick one mineral line you want to be a bit closer to. You can't have a symmetrical layout and a snug center base at the same time, unfortunately. This is because the width/height of SC2 maps are an even number of tiles (meaning any symmetrical center base will be an even number of tiles across) but the town halls are 5x5. | ||

Reminder that when antiga shipyard and taldarim altar have been in the map pool for more than 1 year along with many other shitty and imbalanced map, worrying about the balance of a map is legit. In Sc2 the map pool rotation is slow as fuck and if a map suck you will have to live with it for at least 6 months :/ | ||
