Yeah. You only have to check WCS for being convinced. | ||

Overall as a Z player I'm pretty happy, considering the previous seasons havent been very kind to zerg recently. Waystation seems like a challenging but interesting map to play and i just love the aesthetic of Overgrowth. For a while I felt like I was the only person who felt that way about Frost. Makes me feel like less of an outcast to see other people say the same thing. | ||

And it keeps getting buffed :D But I love MC so it's okay. | ||

All the ramps are 3x at most. Daedalus had a 4x before the patch, that was the main problem. Can someone enligthen me how I can take a third on Waystation against reaper/hellion/banshee? While the Terran gets a close third with the island... | ||

Why not take a far away base and set up a nydus ala bw? | ||

Why not take a far away base and set up a nydus ala bw? Anyway in all those maps it's pretty hard to take 3rd against helion/reaper/banshee. And Merry go Round is rather bad I think. | ||

waystation is just really long on the macro side takes forever to cross the map and only allins with the other spawn.which is what they want i guess. marry go round can still go blink and cant go reaper since there no place to jump unless you want to lose the reaper right away and not get the scout. and hard to hold third as zerg and toss and mech terran so far. king sejong station isnt terribe but has crazy spots for tanks to shell your main if you let them get it which isnt hard to stop but still. i guess besides that i guess its ok so far and last overgrowth im just not sure where to take a third on this map still. also a sick crazy spot for tanks to shell the nat from the base behind that natural, and with drops it can be a bitch to brake but also very sick to use not sure if i like it or not very abusive. also every map has a hard to take third or some what hard to take there all just very poorly made maps IMO seem just too long. i feel they rush to pick the maps or they just dont care and did eeny meeny miny moe. sadly this might be the season i take a break/stop playing sc2 none of these maps are any fun IMO leads to boring play with SH, very turtle mech since everything is so big, protoss silliness in general is still very good. w/e. i hope someone can show me so sick games on these map to change my mind but im just not digging these maps at all. | ||

Not a single new map has actually a backdoor entrance that can be jumped using reaper. ALL fucking naturals are reaper proof . You can count jumpable cliffs with a single hand for most of these maps. Where is the reaper love? This unit is not OP why the hell making anti reaper maps. It has begun with Polar night with stupid new concept of cliffs with ice blocks that can't be jumped and now it continues for every new blizzard map. It is very bad design to kill completely tactics that are not even OP. Playing with small reaper squad was ton of fun, Blizzard killed it. Conclusion : there is not a single friendly reaper map on the mappool. NOT A SINGLE ONE ! Heavy rain ---> removed Yeonsu----> removed RIP the reaper. Now it's just a hero unit you make after orbital to scout and then that fall to oblivion. Too bad for one of the most well redesigned unit of sc2 | ||

It's like the past few month we saw so many reaper abuse OPness leading to quick GG it was the right decision to design map with double height cliff everywhere to promote blink usage and prohibit any reaper play because blink was UP tactic that was absolutely not viable .

Too bad for one of the most well redesigned unit of sc2 It's what happens when you try to avoid make real changes and instead just dismember the map making when a strat or unit is problematic, blink all in being the case right now. It's been a recurring theme since 2011, contorting maps to fit them around bad gameplay and design. Two years from now we'll probably be playing Frost on five different tilesets because it will be only map that is not broken. | ||
