blistering sands jungle basin scrap station akilon waste daybreak cloud kingdom metropolis 3 "weird" maps from the beginning of wol would be fun to play on and very interesting to see how they would play out. And if you want to play only boring standard games you can just veto them so everyone will be happy. In addition to them there are 4 solid maps which will make the mappool a nice mix between "standard" and "nonstandard" maps. | ||

Shakuras Plateau Daybreak Whirlwind Antigua Shipyard Shattered Temple For my last map I'll go really old...Tbh I want to put Scrap Station, I was always a fan although I felt like one of the few, but it was so different to most other bland maps. However the thought of oracles, speedyvacs and regen mutas scares the crap out of me, so I'll go.. Blistering sands for the Lols | ||

It will be the worst of times to ladder. It will be the age of nostalgia. It will be the age of cheese. | ||

Ever wonder how Xel’Naga Caverns would play out in Heart of the Swarm? Nightmares... But retro maps would be pretty interesting, even if they're super imbalanced. | ||

Just see some of the leaders who were chosen by vote. Blizzard will have to monitor the prelist very carefully if we don't want to end up with a Daedalus Point / Steppes of War slugfest. A lot of posts I read here sound like "Duh Blistering Sands again would be so fun, ha ha ha so much nostalgia" without any sensible thought on an actual game on the map. | ||

If they're going full #dreampool (or is it #nightmarepool ?), yeah they should definitely consider using it only for unranked ladder. Otherwise, careful preselection and some tweaks on the maps will be really needed if they want to offer an interesting and fair competitive gaming environment for the ladder, which is kinda what ladder is about. They have to care about the viability of the maps we'll play on for roughly two months. | ||

I am pretty sure the ones that want steppes/daedalus/blistering will know how their games will play out, if the maps get selected. They want the slugfest you mentioned. But you are correct, Blizzard will probably remove some maps that just won't be viable. I suspect Steppes won't be there. Its like fighting in an elevator. | ||

Honestly, I would love to go full #dreampool for Unranked Ladder. Just bring back all the fucking classics and have everyone revel in the hilariously fun misery that were previous ladder maps haha. It could be a lot of fun from time to time during a normal ladder season. No one uses unranked play for serious practice anyway, so it seems like a perfect fit. | ||
