Yes the services of people who know how to use the map editor have been offered. Now team up with one of them and make a sick map. | ||

What if blizzard offers some sort of simplified map editor, so we can make simple maps with great ideas, then hand the maps over to blizzard/pro mapmakers to be polished? Have you ever tried the map editor? It's not complicated at all. Think of it like a fancy MSPaint. Set your map size, click on the cliff tool and start drawing. | ||

Well, as with MSpaint, knowing how the tools work is one thing, using them to create a masterpiece is something else altogether. Though I think Photoshop makes a better comparison than paint, in terms of complexity. Accessible, but there are still things to master and explore. And then you get to worry about creating your magnum opus. | ||

There were maps that were very non-standard that made it as the finalists. The issue is that there were also maps that skewed more standard and the public vote always goes toward the standard maps. If the judges are interested in pushing for non-standard maps then they need to only let non-standard make it among the finalists. This is problematic though because the judging process is democratic and there is also the question about should they allow an inferior map to make it among the finalists simply because it is non-standard in lieu of a superior standard map. Or future map contests could do away with the public vote. Basically this. We judges picked a majority of non-standard maps but the 3 most conventional maps made it to the top in the public poll. I'm not saying Frost is boring or bad, but Yeonsu (ESPECIALLY without the islands now) and Ravage are very bland. The public poll clearly favors maps that offend the least amount of people and it doesn't give you diverse results. I mean it's totally acceptable if among the top 3 there was one really good standard map and then there's other maps that really do different things. But nope, the public poll doesn't give diverse results, doesn't give results I could agree with and I hate it. Koreans since forever (BW) pick maps without listening to "the public opinion" and doing well, so is Blizzard pretty much. The western mapmakers are the only ones depending on a shitty poll and thus have a hard time to really improve map pools and make them more interesting/diverse. I hereby once again beg TL to at least go back to TLMC 1 system with half public poll, half judges. | ||

The rushiest rushmap outside of bloodbath: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/osnxOIrl.jpg) They're never going to use a rushmap, but whatever. The original 2-in-1 map, made about a year ago: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/OLE1MWzl.jpg) | ||

Their slogan is “Red Bull gives you wings”, so maybe zerglings down a can of energy drink when the Metabolic Boost upgrade completes. | ||

I have always done this for checking map make-up and advocated the use of it in my occasional posts in threads like these! I also think workers are the best test units just because of scouting, obviously, although it's also more convenient due to starting with them. :D Maps with more than 2 starting positions that are not perfectly symmetrical might have multiple different travel distances, so people will need to list all!  | ||
