shit maps. thats all i can say. i feel disgusted that they still keep someone to do maps when he/she was clearly hired because he knew someone there and not because he/she is good at the work.

C'mon Vaani is Newkirk just fliped 90decrees. Now let the SH flow on that map.

Only map i liked on the new maps i expedition lost, the rocks kind of make it intence if you forget to watch them. but yea, community maps all the way *nods*

Trying hard to find a reason not to veto Inferno pools as terran. Seems like a very annoying map to play

We have been saying since 2010 let the pro's test the maps before you put them on ladder and let other people make the maps because 90% of blizzard maps are terrible.


Blizzard maps are so terrible than every tournament use them and pros never really bothered complaining about them (except when the map was terribly broken like Daedalus point). You are just hating on blizzard because it's cool.

I feel like a lot of people overestimate how the maps impact the game. Sure some are aweful/imbalanced, some are correct and some are good but a map won't make the game suddenly awesome and save #esports.



Can't do much about the maps of you want to give wcs points

From my limited experience with Secret Spring, I can't imagine that this map won't be veto'd by almost everyone.

They didn't care before WCS points were a thing. Also, the GSL uses Iron Fortress which isn't a ladder map but they still give WCS points so it seems that WCS points aren't an excuse to use ladder maps only.

It's like drawing but instead you are making maps.

--
Imo the main problem with these maps (including mine obviously) is that if there's an obvious imbalance, Blizzard won't move a finger to try to fix it or at least reduce it (remember how long it took to decrease the size of Daedalus Point ramp in front of the natural). Lowering or increasing the HP of a rock, Increasing or lowering the size of a ramp, changing a gold base into a blue base ou vice versa, placing a destructible plate on a base (especially golds) to nerf the gangnam terran strat etc. can totally change the way a map is played but Blizzard never does that (Valve does on CS:GO and it's awesome).

Secret Spring and Inferno pools are such troll maps xD
Secret Spring could be playable in a TvZ, but TvP? no way
And Inferno pools depends so much on the spawning position, it's crazy! Horizontal it's great for Terran. The other spawns are good for Zergs.

Vaani and Expedition are good/okay so far, I think.

As I expected, I'm enjoying Expedition Lost and Vaani a lot. Especially Vaani. I'm not particularly enjoying Inferno Pools, but I guess it's alright for a bland macro map. I'd probably be absolutely hating Secret Spring if I had ever tried anything other than SH turtle on it, but so far, I've won every game on it, so I guess I'm alright with it until I stop winning.

Ask the mapmaker, he was the one who put the rocks in the original version.

Awful as in imba against Z?

I see some pretty redeeming factors!




So many people are always so quick to jump to conclusions. How can you determine in one day of play that a map is shit and sucks and fucked up and Zerg so underpowered never gonna win etc blalalal?

It's much easier than u think: Some maps are so bad that u just have to look at them. I call these "honest maps". At least they don't try to hide how "fucked up" they are. They just say: "Hey, look! I am just horrible! I don't recommend playing on me."
Random is hard work dude...

I think those maps are cool. We kept the old ones for tooo long.

I always prefer smaller main bases as terran, although my buildingplacement sucks.

+ Show Spoiler +
1. Drops in the mineral line are better ! Protoss will struggle to reach their own mineral line, because they block with own buildings, army will block itself !
2. DoubleD" Doom Drops" getting worse, some of the catallena drops could not even unload on the new maps, also they get spotted easily and early.
3. Less Turrets to build
4. Less room for the Blinkball to run around !


Also the maps feature "I will Blink in here" ledges which is quite comfortable
+ Ultras have a nice day without so much interfering ramps and sh*t
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
