At least Blizzard is moving in the right direction by seeking some community guidance. But there's still room for improvement. Blizzard really needs a group of both pro-gamers and tournament makers who could evaluate maps in their potential for entertaining games & relative balance. | ||

Not sure about Zerus, I guess Swarm Host could be good on that map if you take control of the center. | ||

What the fuck has gotten into their heads that they make 3 bases (and even 4 on that Zerus map) so fucking easy to take. Really Blizzard? When are you going to let the community make all the ladder maps? This is just another disappointment. because its incredibly bad for toss to have 3rds which are not defendable? 2-base all ins are quite forseeable and can be hold when scouted quite easily + having to all in every game on maps like neo planet s is really great..... wtf | ||

Because having the same map in the pool for 19482934829345 months gets reaaaaaaaaally boring. | ||

Also, I love people calling a map bad without having even had any games played on it yet...lol. Armchair mapmakers here in this thread | ||

And why remove Daybreak, it was a great map at pretty much all stages of the game. Sad that we still don't really have any long-term balanced maps that can stay on the ladder for more than a few seasons, but then we don't even have a properly balanced game yet (and won't until Legacy of the Void meta stabilises) so I guess we're at the whim of Blizzard on this. | ||

These map changes look nice. Klontas Mire instantly looks like the weird one but I'm actually excited to immediately try some builds that ought to work better on it than on a typical map. | ||

Ah yes, I hadn't considered the Warcraft 3 variable. Such a shame that map pool has literally NEVER changed since the game's launch. | ||
