Wire I agree with you, but your analogy is a bit off. Bob Dylan is an iconic musician and poet of his time, a 'fine singer' not so much

Ha ha quite true Just picked an artist that was quite essential. True he isn't that fine of a singer, but you got the point.

I can't decide whether this is a nightmare or an April Fool's joke. Oh wait, it's neither. Is Blizzard serious? Is Blizzard really going to put terrible, broken maps back in the map pool just for the sport of it? This would be amusing for a weekend but I think the fun would wear off after that... The map pool was the single biggest problem with the game at release. To me this just shows a total disrespect for the game.

Well that's because Season 4 starts after Blizzcon. I'm more interested (and concerned) with what the IEMs/DHs/HSCs (?)/any other tournaments that are going to happen in Season 4 choose to use as their map pool. Will they go with S3? Will they use a S3/S4 composite? Will we see professional games on Steppes of War?

It's fun


Yeah, as fun as playing table tennis with a frying pan. Fun for a day, until you realize there's a reason paddles aren't frying pans. Paddles (with spin-heavy sides or long pips) give a depth to table tennis you'll never achieve with frying pans. Same with Steppes of War vs Bel'shir Vestige.


no fun for a whole season so many maps so epic stuff to try expect you play 50 games a day ...
this season is a gift to these who wanna have fun, i know so many coming back from inactivity for this season )))
stop thinking that what you think is always right ...
did you even try the old maps nowadays ? i even play desert oasis with friends and its cool in new meta ^^
if you dont like it and not wanna play ladder then ... NO ONE absolute 0 people!!! will miss you !

99,9% sure they wont use the S4 maps, its a season to have fun and the big touranments could finaly start to use their own mappoolss xD always only see ladder maps is so boring
jaeh cool its "laddermaps" so everyone can train but it worked before without that and it would be way niceer to see more maps used, and when 1 player not can go to 100 tournaments then .. so may it ... its not "forever" ...

Now that is a more reasonable question. I assume that the tournaments will use mostly the Season 3 map pool to do their events, but there's no telling what might happen. Having broken maps on the ladder again is kind of funny, but having them used when their are thousands of dollars on the line is pretty bad.

Perhaps they will take out the silly ones for events and leave ones in that are old, but still fairly balanced (I could see Cloud Kingdom or Shakuras Plateau still being used in an event)

Yes we can!

Can someone please explain to me why those two maps (or especially Seppes of War) would be so bad?
