All Blizzard maps are designed to run smoothly even on the lowest end machines (at appropriate graphic options of course), where as a lot of community map makers tend to focus a little too much on making stuff pretty. Metropolis in WOL was the extreme example of this phenomenon with a flipping million or so moving doodads. That map tanked even the highest end of machines and was a complete disaster when it got to ladder. But as long as people keep screaming for community map makers to get more influence on ladder, we will keep seeing this happen. Especially because community maps are often matched up against each other in competitions and shiny stuff sells. In my opinion, the community maps are a lot better than the maps that Blizzard produces. I think if Blizzard uses these maps then they have a responsibility to check for these kind of things and to fix them. | ||

You are sugesting that maps have low fps because of "doodads" and shiny stuff but on that argument we would see that old pc´s have more problems then new one. But its the opposite there is no consistancy in the framerate drop on some maps, i personally never had problems on metropolis with a dual core and 8800, now i have an i7 and a 770 but have ~40 frames on some new maps. I think there are just some effects that are badly made. Blizzards map guy know these effects and just doesn´t use them. | ||

Its like they created a map that were protoss would be as weak as possible to counteract all the protoss OP talk, but every protoss players will veto this map anyway. | ||

Come on, couldn't they make it so that it's at least wallable with Nexus ? PvZ is just unplayable on that map if you don't go 3 gate expand à la WoL, and then you just die to mutas which didn't have regen back then. Instant veto. Edit : Open naturals are bad because you can't expand out of 1 gate or 1 forge on them, and then are just eaten alive by any serious muta play. | ||

It's nice for PvZ to be a playable match-up.

And early Pools because of the open nat and short rush distance! | ||
