I come from fps were traditionally the people in charge for mp maps are different from those in charge of SP maps. I guess it would explain why their mp maps are so terrible given that they spent most of their time doing sp maps. | ||

Edit: Frankly, I'm quite surprised Blizzard didn't learn from their mistakes with Condemned Ridge. This is even worse than that map. | ||

At least with Steppes we could have short, exciting games -- too short, naturally, but at least you wouldn't fall asleep part way through a game. And with this map we can have long, exciting games after NR15 :D Akilon is much smaller, yet it is one of candidates on most boring map ever up there with Daybreak. | ||

As someone who completely missed 2012 in SC2 can you explain? Except for the fact of that Ridge map being stupidly large (at least LP claims so), being not symmetric on close vertical spawns (and ofc more splittable than Shakuras) nothing comes to mind. | ||

I thought DayBreak was a magnificient map just unfortunate units and game dynamics resulted in an eventually terrible dominant strategy. TO that point though it had a lovely balance and flow to it. | ||

That's just fucking bad design and a retarded map, the big macro game is the most boring crap in this game ever, because they last 10 top Sec and the winner..... Win the game. The smaller map is the future, yea no change in hell I'm reinstalling sc2 When you see potential wasted, that's sad, for me Broodwar and sc2 are my favorite rats and still.... Was really sad to retire from sc2.....well no way you will know I'm who , let just say I did play..... did play a lot of games in sc2 and was decent..... | ||

People will just keep ignoring half the map as if it were just international air space. | ||

People will just keep ignoring half the map as if it were just international air space. If they want people to use more than the map then they need to do what should have been done ages ago and have only 3 bases per corner. It's the only reason why I liked Antiga since it forced you to move to the other side of the map to take a fourth. Even Entombed wouldn't have been too bad had they not had the dumb as helll fourth bases which should've been mineral only between the two spawns. | ||
