So big thanks to you for this map and congratulation, your name will stay in the history of sc2 forever (I mean : as long as there will be people remembering sc2 :D) Are you still retired btw? don't fancy trying to shift the meta again with a new map? /respect It depends if LotV will be more interesting for map making. | ||

Nimbus. For CK; if they remove the one or other set of rocks it might already be quite better, now that we do not need overpowered sentry builds anymore. | ||

Typical. oh that's far from whats going on, if anything it seems like you just start throwing around numbers without any reason behind them when running out of arguments. the number's you are throwing around are far from usefull as this assumed BL/infestor, early HotS where there was no solid meta nor were blink builds refined, oh and pre-nerf hellbats too. as for nimbus you could contribute these numbers to "patch-tosses" dropping off, it will still be interesting how future numbers will look on this map, from a mapmaking standpoint there is no good reason why toss should be struggling on this map. | ||

Patch toss is... what ? i didn't see nonames coming out of the scene. All protoss that were winning pre-patch are all established player (no ? maybe i'm mistaken though). Sorry if i sound aggressive or something. I didn't know how to phrase it better :p Not main tongue and hard to explain points sometimes | ||

It's almost the number of habitation station on the entire SPL 2014. I might throw stats out of my ass but on 555maps played on the entire season with 11 different map, if they were played equally it would have been 50matches per map (approximatly). Not sure if i done this right though | ||

During Wings of Liberty, which is what the map was designed for, only "international" TvZ gets close to being imbalanced (54.7% win-rate for Zerg). Compare that to Nimbus (58.9% win-rate for Terran in TvZ and 65.8% (!!!) win-rate for Terran in TvP) and you'll see that CK isn't really as bad as you seem to think that it is. Maybe it will be once people start using Blink all-ins on it, but I doubt it'll get even remotely close to 65.8%. That you think Nimbus is even remotely okay as a map is an absolute joke :3 I don't care much for this discussion, but I think you read the numbers wrong. I read it as terran is favoured over toss in hots? Then there are probably not enough games to make the statistics significant on their own, but that is another story. | ||

(In general I'm not a fan of rotational "symmetry" on 4p, because at that point we could as well just make assymetric maps to begin with, but that just as a sidenote) The map is extremely turtly, near impossible to attack a 3rd base for Zerg. Meanwhile it is also incredibly hard to take a 4th base for Zerg. On top of that you put the extreme vulnerability of the natural to drops. And that's 59% TvZ which is balanced compared to the 34% winrate for Protoss against Terran there. Meanwhile all you say about CK is basically theorycraft about its HotS gameplay, while we know the map was extremely stable in WoL. | ||
