I don't understand why Akilon was chosen. I mean, it has never been a popular map afaik.

Akilon? wierd, guess people voted it a a 7th choice or something

Really nothing special about this map, should have stayed in the grave forever. Guess that's one easy veto

Akilon is a cool map but it's from HotS era, so it would be cool to see some more WoL maps like Steppes of War or Xel Naga Caverns...

If Whirlwind doesn't make it, it's just a crime.
On less serious note, Akilon isn't that bad, where are my free 3 bases to go airtoss.

Agreef. Whirlwind created the most exciting, balanced games out of many hots maps.

Frost and Whirlwind are safely best maps in HotS + Whirlwind isn't exclusively HotS map either.
But meh, considering that Daybreak got voted that much, i'm not expecting Whirlwind to make it.

I think waste is the perfect word here. This isnt a classic map, or a funny one, or anything special. It's just a map that was once used, I don't know how it's back on.

It's the same story as in every LR thread. The moment a long, defensive game is being played a vocal minorty starts bitching. Afterwards the game gets 5* because people actually enjoy this kind of gameplay much more than gimmicks, rushes or information poker.

And here we have people bitching about turtlegames, but in truth most people are happy if the don't have to put up with exposed third bases and 3 possible spawns of the opponent.

Personally my favorite part about Akilon Wastes is all the little nooks which make abusing the rock-third way easier with proxy pylons. And also a good way to check for a fourth in PvZ.

These kinds of complaints are just as bad as the former.

There's plenty of long games played on great maps that are dynamic and fast paced that don't devolve into deathball spacing.
