I don't understand people who say remove Overgrowth because it's "old." Why does that mean you should remove a map? If nearly every pro gamer agrees that it's a good balanced map for all matchups, why not just leave it in the map pool? If something works and everyone likes it, JUST LEAVE IT! You can cycle out some of the other maps that people don't like. NASCAR drivers have been making the same fucking left turn for 60+ years and people still watch that shit. Just because something is "old" doesn't mean you need to change it.

I can understand that argument for a map that stays like a full year, but it isn't even the case here. Overgrowth only stayed two seasons. True a huge amount of games have been played on it, but that's because it's a standard, interesting and balanced map and thus it was barely ever vetoed in competitive play and on ladder as well. What else can you ask for ?

The problem is then that the mappool gets stale with a bunch of fixture maps that stay way too long. They may very well be balanced and pros might be comfortable on them, but it gets boring from the viewers perspective. The problem here was that the new maps that were kept are bad, not that replacing the old maps was a bad decision. It just means that the newer maps should have been replaced too.

No, the major problem is that the replacement maps are garbage.

Well at least the community seems to have some common sense, even if Blizzard don't seem to possess any at this moment in time.
