Really sad they didn't even manage to come up with two new maps instead of only one for 1v1... Good that Whirlwind is gone as it's just too old, but I don't really get why they would add Starstation again?!

Overall I think I'm not gonna be pleased with the upcoming map pool, lot's of not so cool maps.

Every season I think it's the worst map pool I've ever seen, and everytime they surprise me next season with even worse maps. Star station? It was already cross-only last time and they removed it because it sucked, now they made a version for 2 players only and claim that this solved all of its problems.
Derelict still there? Like, wtf?
Also the new map, I don't really like the natural behind the main base. It's gonna be too easy to expand first and still being able to hold anything. I don't feel like deleting one base aggressive play as an option will make the games on this map more entertaining.

These changes are shit. Star Station remains a horrible map, 2 player or 4player doesn´t change anything. The new map is neo Calm before the Storm and we all know how well this map worked out to be.
2 very solid maps go out for this. After we had a well rounded good mappool for the last season (which was the first time in SC2 history that there was no map in the ladder pool, that is just bullshit) Blizzard goes back to their true pattern of introducing horrible maps into the ladder pool.
I´m normally a positive guy, but with the planned balance changes and the new ladder mappool things don´t look good at all for the future of SC2.

After playing some 3v3 for a while this week. The 2 new 3v3 maps look pretty cool xD
The Scorched Vista 1 looks epic, looks a tiny map in the picture but clearly isn't as it has so many bases xD

Good but they should add another map and remove Bel'shir. The new Star Station is basically old Star Station - nat and main of the unused sides. Not sure how much i like it

FFA does not function in this game since there are no incentives to play aggressively. In my opinion it is not very ambitious by blizzard to simply add match making. They need to take the game mode seriously by adding special mechanics. For instance maps where if you destroy an enemy building it spawns resources you can pick up worth half the cost of the buildings. Or add respawning creeps with resource drops to reward being out on the map.

Congratulations Blizzard for your incompetence to NOT remove Derelict Watcher. You employees and Mappoolcreater are just useless douchebags!

They're removing the best mech map from the map pool (akilon). Not happy


They kind of had to due to PvZ issues with the map to say nothing of how old the map was at this point.


Yeh, well it's true it was Protoss favored with 3-4 easy bases, but also happened to be really good for mech, even in TvP. I'm assuming the PvZ issues you meant are Protoss turtling vs Zerg swarmhost turtle making for quite ridiculous games.

I would argue that's more the swarmhost's terrible design then it was anything to do with the map design.


I agree partially with that statement I wasn't a fan of Akilon Wastes for a whole host of other reasons aside from Swarm Host play even if it was a good mech map but I do agree that Swarm Host design is far from perfect.
