EPTI spoke with the map team and overall map diversity was the biggest reason given for why Ravage was excluded for this ladder season.

It's very similar to pretty much every other map after all the balance changes you made to it. On July 31 2013 02:59 NEEDZMOAR wrote: We both know were not talking about playing vs mech  . I dont see how mineral only bases would be fair, in fact Zerg still need the gas while Terran bio play would again get an edge (its riddicilous how much gas som terrans pool in TvZ imo) and if its hard to take a 3rd, we have the problem were T and P can safely sit on 2 bases but the zerg needs to secure a 3rd in order to keep up.Actually if you go back and read you'll see that the initial person complained about mech vs zerg on that map as terran could leapfrog over the bridge. So yes, we are talking about mech. Also one of the main things zergs use is zerglings and hatcheries. Protoss use a lot of gateways and zealots all of which cost a lot of minerals. The only thing that'd change is the map'd need to be very good for protoss vs bio (lots of chokes) to one promote mech and make bio less viable on the map for a change and the zerg would just need to take a different base. Easy to take third and fourth bases are what are hurting SC2 more than anything. | ||

If it's so easy to defend. Where is the fun ? No need to act like I raped you with a tire iron. It's just that the maps have to have a 3rd. Look belshir, look at whirlwind, look at derilict - a defendable 3rd. Not 10m away from every other base. | ||

Sorry but this is just straight wrong. Macro was not possible on Neo Planet if you were a Protoss. That map needs to die in a fire and never ever come back. | ||

Macro was possible it's just that you needed a standing army to take a third which is what set the map apart from every other map. | ||

Frost looks pretty solid, reminds me a bit of coulas ravine on the first look Polar Night looks very weird. Mutas could be op with the huge space behind the main and the short air / long ground trip between main and backdoor 3. | ||
