Hey, everyone loves free 3rd bases. Well, except for zergs. Ehm, zergs have more advatange when 3rd base is open, because more chances to cancel it for enemy? | ||

I mean that everyone loves free 3rd bases similar to that of BigAssMap. But zergs, since they usually need +1 base that is either: suddenly not that free; harder to punish greedier openings. | ||

the fact that blizzard is reintroducing the map back onto the ladder under the guise that its "new", when really all they did was remove 2 bases off in the corners. everything else is the same, the map will play out virtually the same. even worse is their rationale, "this map is simply more polished for 1v1 play with no confusion on start locations" this bugs me because they're also releasing Alterzim, a 4p map, with all spawn points enabled so they have one map where they removed 2 spawn points to not confuse players, and they have another map with 4 spawn points and you have to scout all of them again seriously who the hell is in charge of blizzard's map pool? so like, can we actually get some REAL, NEW MAPS ?! you know, there were a bunch that made it as finalists in the last TLMC, the TLMC before that. oh and we have the redbull TLMC going on too ... | ||

They remove spawns from maps like Antiga and Star Station not because "new players get frustrated", those maps has balance issues when not spawning at cross positions (4th base location on Antiga, short horizontal rush distance on Star Station), so the tournaments forced cross spawn in the first place, that's where the frustration really came from. On other maps like Whirlwind, such spawn imbalance doesn't exist thus no force spawn is used at all. | ||

On other maps like Whirlwind, such spawn imbalance doesn't exist thus no force spawn is used at all. starstation is a mirrored map so both players are faced with the same circumstance where they spawn, unlike rotational maps like antiga. anyways, those aren't my words, those are blizzard's. | ||

Well I'm just raging now but I'm in the prefect mix of pissed of and sad. Why do I have to play shared base maps? Do people really prefer them? I really dislike to die just coz one of my allies gets fucked. On sensible maps I can atleast counter. | ||

I hate shared bases and this forces me to play one since I'm out of vetoes. 3:3 was the only thing I could play without being forced to sc2 dumbed down shit. IN broodwar there wasnt even fored spawns on hunters and it was still balanced. In the sc2 ladder there isnt even a map without ramps to the main.

Veto the maps, or you can learn to deal with it. If you were expecting maps to let you do the same thing every game, well you're out of luck. its funnier that people even think that the new starstation is in anyway different from the old starstation. | ||

I guess its the reaper gayness (non homophobic) in TvT, the blink surface in TvP and the open 3rd in TvZ. I cant find the words to describe this map. I guess if you dont play T, you can maybe find a good point about it. (edit: also no ramp on the nat) | ||

Re: Star Station... not quite sure why they put it back.. it's the exact same map but with the corners chopped off. Every Protoss will either 1-2 base all-in or die trying to secure a third. Re: Alterzim Stronghold TE.. get ready for Nexus first PvP! | ||
