Dreampool has gotten really old really quickly. The game is just not balanced around these kinds of maps anymore.

Noooooooooooooooooo! I love Dreampool. Sure, almost every map is woeful, but Cloud Kingdom is my favourite map in every matchup!

Season 3 map pool plus 4 new 1v1 maps....i think Season 3 maps are pretty good but they were still way too Terran favored. Either its a good thing to give players more time on those maps to adjust to Terrans OP shit or its going to be terrans winning at the beginning of Season 1 2015 cause Terrans can just veto non terran favored maps until they get what they like.

You don't want Masters to be the last league promotion because that's demotivating... so you want Diamond to be the last league promotion? What?

Read my post again.

I said , there are WAY more diamond players who eventually achieve masters than master players who eventually achieve GM.

There's not such problem with diamond league, because most diamond league players know they can achieve masters, they just don't put in enough of an effort. It's pretty obvious that diamond-->Master is 10 times easier than Master--->GM. No point in making the gap even more extreme.

why are people saying progamers influenced this decision?
Why should progamers care about ladder maps?

They probably play custom games with their teammates no?

Maybe in strong Teamhouses. But Ladder is still very important. Players who play less Ladder fail in times where you cannot analyse and prepair your enemy for a week. Watch back at the recent qualifier. You cant just practice with only 3-7 people in the house, you must also play against the unknown.
And in Europe, most pros do not live in Teamhouses and some do not do it in Korea. They will not have enough PP to train outside of the ladder.

I hope they have something really interesting to show for the new maps, because i'm seriously disappointed about this "dreampool" thing.. didn't make any sense, maybe the should have done that as a transition between 2 seasons and that would have been enough of it.

Eager to see what's next§ .. I'll enjoy a few all in meanwhile.. :D

Dreampool wasn't as bad as some people here are making it out to be, but I'm glad the normal maps are back. Can we just have new maps though?

It's funny all of the people sad about the revert back to Season 3 maps are all Protoss, Terran. I wonder why.

So happy this shitpool is dead. Was one of the worst decisions Blizz ever made. This shouldnt happend ever.

I suppose they did this to keep people interested in SC2, because we are all soooo tired of the same game and meta for almost 4 years... Thats why they decided to change LotV do drastically.

I even do not understand why are the expansions sooo LATE.In 2011 there was some picture of the Blizz plans about their expansions in the time. They were going to reléase an expansión every 18 months. HotS was planned for suppusly March 2013. Then LotV for December 2014... Why??? What happened?

So, with the mentions of next season maps not being done, and 0 communication with the map scene, it isnt weird to think all new maps might be blizzard ones
