What are u talking about? Btw: What is he concept of Swarm Host and the Oracle? Cuz I don't really get what the idea behind is SH is a flying BL and the Oracle is something that feels very wierd... I can't see any concept at all... When it had those spells in the beta, it looked much better... sry those last lines are offtopic.
SH is intended like a way to break the turtle (combined with viper). Oracle is just strong anti-worker unit with map control possibilities.

Since this map is for testing anyway, they should experiment with upping the supply cap to 500 since the new map looks like it can support it.
The game would start dropping frames a lot on every PC.

Since the patch they are testing are focusing pretty heavily on Mech i can't help but feeling that this map won't add anything in terms of balance testing, simply because i don't think that anyone is going to try Mech on such a huge map.

I thought it is known that pretty much every 2p map after Daybreak and Cloud kingdom after some point was it's version of a kind. Belshir vestige (not LE version) is pretty good example.
But that's not the fault of the maps. Noone hindered mapmakers from making different maps, it was just that the layout was very popular - and these days is very unpopular.
They were amazing maps and I would love it if some tournaments would cycle one old map in from time to time. Maybe not exactly the map, but a redone version (there are so many 'legendary' maps that you could rework and use in a tournament; Daybreak, Cloud Kingdome, Bel'Shire Beach, Tal'Darim Altar, Crossfire, Shattered Temple, Metalopolis, Shakuras Plateau, Antiga Mvp Shipyard)

Why does we never get forced cross spawns on 4v4maps? Its much more fun.

Forced cross spawns on 4 player maps are only good if map itself is completely different on different spawns. Like Korhal island.

We need Fruitland with new Lemon OP strat ! If blizzard can't diversify the game with unit, do it with the maps !!

And then a doomdrop in the main destroys your base while the bio player takes 99 bases that you can't threaten because you can't move out at all, since you will get flanked from 720 degree.

Not every matchup is TvT, and the main doesn't look that hard to defend against doomdrop.

Actually on close spawns this map is indeed mech heaven. Not to mention that main is rather easy to protect with good turret ring.

This map does not lag and is kinda impossible to really split.

Except Metropolis was an excellent map imo. Easy 2 base, not so easy third. Yes in WoL there were split map situations, but such won't happen in HOTS I don't think.

Whoever goes Terran mech on this map, I'm just going to doom drop them while mass expanding.

I would actually love to start seeing ventral sacs roach/baneling all ins

I don't get why they would put a full expansion behind your main. Would really like the map if that were like 5-6 patches and one gas. Also think removing the rocks behind the 4th/5th (whatever you wanna call it) would probably have been good.
