I see why they are doing this for the off-season or whatever you want to call it, but it's going to be pretty annoying to not be able to use the ladder anything if you want to practise competetive games. Playing Scrap Station, Antiga Shipyard etc will not be that useful when the next competetive season will hopefully have maps suited for HotS play.

Edit: Just think about how many stuff would be completely broken and only be fun for the first few days (tanks without siege mode denying ppls naturals from their own naturals, tempests shooting from one main to another, swarm hosts making people wish they were in BL infestor era at Daybreak...

Map design is an evolution, not devolution. Blizzard is still clueless when it comes to maps and their importance.

i think the likelihood that they make minor alterations to the older maps to suit the modern meta is very very high.

You could veto them.

The game has changed significantly since these maps were on the ladder.
Unless you have tried them, how do you know whether the maps would or wouldn't work with the new units and tweaks?
HOLY CHECK!

I can't veto the entire map pool and even if I could that would mean no maps to play on. The ENTIRE map pool is being chosen by community polls from old maps.

Ever wonder how Xel’Naga Caverns would play out in Heart of the Swarm? Did you discover an unbeatable strategy on Habitation Station only after it left the ladder? Wish you could get Cloud Kingdom back for one more season? Well then the upcoming ladder season is exactly what you’re looking for.

In Season 4 we’re going to open up the opportunity for past 1v1 maps to return, and also let YOU decide which maps those will be!

The Map Pool of Your Dreams

We’ve seen the feedback – you want a chance to pick your dream 1v1 map pool. On September 24, we’ll release a poll asking which maps you’d like to see in the upcoming ladder season. The seven maps that receive the most votes by October 1 will be added to the Season 4 ladder map pool.

Nominate Your Favorites

Before we open it up for voting, we’d like to hear what maps you think should be on the final poll. You can do this by jumping into our official discussion thread and sharing your thoughts, or providing your nominations on Twitter using the hashtag #dreampool. All past ladder maps are eligible. We’ll be reading your responses and will select the most popular maps for the final poll.

You’ll have through September 23 to get your nominations in, so don’t wait too long to share your favorites and let your dream become a reality.

Also, to be clear, we are taking suggestions from everywhere. Those are just our official channels. We are reading Twitter, the Battle.net forums, Reddit, here, etc. So feel free to discuss the maps you'd like to see anywhere and we'll take note.

This isn't a good idea. Old maps are not balanced for the new crazy shit we have in HoTS.

Can you imagine Blink Stalker all ins on Metalopolis? Can you imagine ZvT on Xel'Naga caverns?

The only maps that in my mind make any sense to bring back are Tal'Darim Altar, Whirlwind and maaaaaaaaaybe Shakuras Plateau.
