I had a wall with all my raxes, facs depots and bunkers and still lost on crevasse. I was so mad I punched a hole in the wall. | ||

If you've stopped playing because you like rush/cheese games, how long will you come back for once Steppes is back out of rotation? If you're nostalgic for Metalopolis, go play a custom on it. Me and friends had a 4 man for fun tournament on old maps, had a good time. Nothing against the casuals who don't play ladder anymore, but giving those people votes equivalent to people (not me obv) who use it to practice competitively? Not to mention the self-confessed people who vote for the worst possible pool because they see it as funny? | ||

I beg to differ, unless SC2 ladder is only about pro play that is and since there is not a chance Blizzard thinks that's the case, they act accordingly. The pros should be the ones that practice on custom maps, or they could have a different ladder. | ||

In almost every game I can think of the automated ranked matchmaking is where the competitive-minded play, and customs are for fun fucking around or specific practicing. Your goal may not be pro play, maybe you want to finally push into Masters or finally get out of bronze. Also Blizzard clearly set up WCS with ladder in their thinking, given the map pools are very similar, IMO so that amateur players could practice on ladder and still be familiar with the maps for WCS qualifiers etc. | ||

How many games on ladder are actually between high Masters / grand Masters players? Still though, the point of the matter is that Blizzard is trying to get more people to play ladder again, after all SC2 ladder activity is nowhere near what it used to be the first couple of years although HOTS was launched just 1.5 years ago. Coming up with a set of "balanced" - well thought out maps that play well with the current meta has not really worked out for them (they have been doing that for many seasons now), one shouldn't blame them for trying something completely different. | ||
