I wish they would take PvT blink allins into consideration, and not make every single map excellent for it...

maybe that's what necessary. Shut everyone up about balance, force EVERYONE to rethink everything. Would be a very interesting experiment. Everyone can still rely on their mechanics, but the metagame would completely shift around. Balance whine would be rampant the first months, but then something will be figured out.

That's a pretty big assumption to make.

Its been 3 years and there hasn't been a major shift the way TvP is played outside the early game.


Pretty much every map has been the same for 3 years.

Yeah David Kim got that right, sc2 need about 8 new retarded maps each season to stay fresh and fun, map not tested who look COOL are what this game needed!!

Btw how many map Broodwar got in 8 year to stay the most and best RTS ever ???

Why sc2 can't hire someone not totally retarded ??? ... Damn I would balance this game better that all of them !!!
( most sc2 pro gamer with rts exp would do just the same... Not saying I'm special... )

just thinking about the way they go and what they patch and change make my mind go wtf each time....

Also just want to add that I'm REALY sad they do something like that, sc2 could have been such a good game... Played about 3k game before the patchzerg era...I have even try the exp and I'm sad that the balance and the overall game don't allow me to play again ( I'm terran so that 5x WORST )

im alway looking at patch and change for see if the game allow me to comeback but they do worst and worst shit each time... that just crazy...

I think I'm most interested in Daedalus Point and least interested in Heavy Rain. Probably won't veto anything just to try them out at first but I guess I'll have to see how it goes. Not a fan of joint 2v2 bases :/

Disregarding any balance concerns, I wish we had a map or two with open naturals. I miss Metalopolis largely for its open naturals.

All these maps are fine. The problems that plague this game can be fixed by altering unit HP, vision, food cap, unit speed, reducing effectiveness of AOE and hard counters, etc.

New maps are necessary playing the same maps with the same fast 3 base expansion style of gameplay can get boring. Maps should change up the styles of play we see.

On the other hand, it'd be kind of nice to, you know, be able to wall off a natural for example...

So... If I'm not mistaken, Avalanche has the usual sweet spot for cannon rushes and siege tanks.

well it is the rush map and thats if you dont scout it also its terran we can somehow hold roach bane bust with 3cc so we will have to see, tanks might have to be a regular thing on this map shouldnt be to hard to fit them in

all the new maps sucks beside habitation station also why get rid of the best map in the pools bel shire. also all of these maps are perfect for toss all ins. Learn to make maps blizzards. Husky's IMBA league maps are more balanced than this.
