Sounded very cool to me too, but I wouldn't find it cool anymore if I was left with one veto and still had Blistering Sands and Daedalus Point unvetoed. This shouldn't end up being the stupidest map pool ever when we have the opportunity to at last have a balanced, "best by test" and solid one, with no Alterzim Stronghold or Klontas Mire. | ||

I this is supposed to be interesting, we should really aim for the oldest of old. On top of that, I would choose the wierder among them. Yes, Xelnaga Caverns and Lost Temple were really classic and we have seen a bazillion games on them, but they were utterly boring and normal from the start. Incineration zone and Steppes of war are just small, nothing much to see there. Shakuras has been already discredited enough by all the talk about how it is the mother of standard maps and Slag Pits/Typhon Peaks I just internally hate. So I would go for - Desert Oasis - Scrap Station - Blistering Sands - Jungle basin - Metalopolis - Delta Quadrant - Taldarim Altar Let the slaugther begin! | ||

We have a very different notion of "interesting". The maps you suggest could be suited for unranked ladder, but they should respect hardcore players too. I'd rather play LoL than play Blistering Sands again -and that's saying something. Sorry to say that, but your post is an epitome of how what is (was ?) a great idea from Blizzard could end up badly if people just think about fun and nostalgia and forget they'll have to play actual games on these maps for a freaking whole season. | ||

Well, you still want to have players that play the maps...

I'd love to see it come back. Frost is extremely good. But I think Whirlwind turned out more balanced. And TDA is THE Classic big 4player map. I think that's why a lot of people do not name it. | ||

 The intention is very much WoL bad maps, but tbh a Daybreak, Whirlwind, Frost, Cloud Kingdom, Metropolis, Ohana, Akilon Wastes type map pool would be perfectly playable. Probably not the intention of this feature though. | ||
