Feeling a little eurgh over this pool but will at least give the new maps a chance before I grab my pitchfork.
I don't think it had anything to do with balance, but rather kicking out the maps that were 9 months old.

I think it would be funny if there was a mixture between destructible rocks and collapsible towers (or whatever they are called).
A: Destructible rocks: The path is 2x wide and there is a x wide destructible rock, the other x is undestructible terrain you cannot pass. If the destructible rocks get destroyed, the path gets transformed into B
B: Collapsible tower: The path is 2x wide and there is a x wide open terrain and a x wide collapsible tower right next to it. If the collapsible tower gets destroyed, the path gets transformed into A.
Obviously it doesn't make thematic sense with the collapsible tower, but I think it would be funny if Player Y constantly closes the path and Player Z constantly wants to open the path. I don't know if that makes sense balance-wise, but I think David Kim would like that idea from what I heard so far.
You're essentially asking for a collapsible tower that rebuilds the tower bit a few seconds after dropping on the path. Self-renewing collapsible towers, then.
Self-renewing collapsible towers would be cool for some niche positions on maps (opening up a new attack path to a third / a back-door to a main / etc) and open up some diversity for map makers.
Why not?

Or maybe they just chose alphabetically.

please stop the blizzard bashing until you have properly tested the new maps.
if you look at them first they seem to be quite weird but maybe they will play out very well.
when i first saw KSS or merry go round i also thought they would be terrible but now everybody is sad they are gone.
also i agree with blizzards decision to remove overgrowth, KSS and merry go round. Sure they are one of the best maps ever created but they are just to old. Better keep the map pool fresh instead of keeping the good maps forever.
Who's sad that MGR is gone?

As a protoss player, when new maps are released I always like to find cannon rush spots. The most imba cannon rush spot I found so far is on Expedition Lost: http://i.imgur.com/XpxmFpJ.jpg
You only need 2 pylons, and your probe can jump through the pylons when building the cannon. Also this cannon rush spot covers the natural ramp, so zerg can't send drones out to get extra expansions or send lings to be aggressive. The only positive news I can tell to zerg players is that you can break the rocks in your main instead of breaking through the cannons to secure an expansion, that's also a reason why I think it's not worth adding more than 2 cannons to contain the zerg natural here.

jesus fucking christ did they just remove the 2 best maps of HotS and left fucking Deadwing in?
Nice they actually are introducing a community map, too bad it's also with Blizzard maps instead of some other community work.
Blizzard being Blizzard
edit: I can't still get over it. HOW HARD FOR THEM is to recognize good maps???????
|
Blizzard is adding these shitty maps, so when they release LotV beta people will be impressed how good the new maps are compared to these ones.
|
Im 100% sure these maps were made 3 days ago when someone realized " Oh shit we dont have new maps ?". Just look , 2011 maps from community were better.
Blizzard please you fucked up big this time.

Inferno Polis ultra clear vote for any Zerg. It's not like T and P can blink / warpin drop comfortly from main to third and back.
And Island expansions again... Blizz, seriously.. is anyone over in Paris even still playing this game?
|
I think the worst map is Secret Spring, there's just so much imbalance in that map, and it doesn't even encourage any fun games. Protoss has to 2 base all in, since 3rd is so hard to take. When protoss does immortal all in vs zerg for example, you can forcefield the ramp to zerg's main+nat and that's a free 3rd for protoss to kill. And if it still goes into macro if somehow both players don't all in each other, it'll be a boring split map game with how the map is designed.

Excited to see how these play out.

love it how so many are hating on blizzard. :-/
I think it was okay to remove KSS and Overgrowth (they got old), and MGR wasn't the most balanced map.
I would have liked Nimbus for another season.
Not sure about Secret Spring, but the rest looks rather promising. We'll have to see

We need more green maps! I enjoyed Ohana way to mutch just because it was green - and no new green map incoming...

How surprising...

I feel like the new maps favour Zerg the most tbh (not sure about Inferno, but the other 3 ones).
What do u guys think?

Yes, that looks fun to play on, and the deep green gives a positive mindset! This in the pool would made me happy.
