Hey everyone,
We’ve read the feedback on the 2015 Season 1 ladder map pool and wanted to announce a change we’ll be making for the upcoming season.
2015 Season 1 Ladder
Overgrowth LE will replace Foxtrot Labs LE
The complete 1v1 2015 Season 1 ladder map pool will be as follows:
Overgrowth LE
Catallena LE
Expedition Lost LE
Secret Spring
Vaani Research Station
Inferno Pools
Deadwing LE
While we typically look to remove the oldest maps in the ladder map pool to keep a fresh rotation (which would include Overgrowth LE), community feedback towards some of the Season 3 maps was less than favorable so we’ve decided to make an exception for this season and keep an older map. Going forward we’ll look to keep the map pool fresh with solid options.

ffs noooo
Overgrowth is more stable but I'm tired of that map and I feel like Foxtrot was just beginning to catch on with some pretty fun games.
They totally missed the mark. Get rid of Catellena/Deadwing or any of the new maps (excluding Expedition Lost).
|
why remove foxtrot instead of deadwing? Deadwing is far worse than foxtrot.
|
Another season of boring ass overgrowth in every bo3.
Wonderful
|
Lol the less important change to make.
How about you totally remove your shit maps ( talking about the new 3 blizzard maps ) and start putting a bit of passion into the ladder maps blizzard ?
Also , deadwing and inferno pools are overlapping , they are both crazy big 4p maps with no interesting features.

I have the exact same feeling. I didn't like Foxtrot at first but these weeks the games on it have been more and more entertaining. On the other hand I've always hated overgrowth and I still hate it, this map is boring. Deadwing has no reason stay in the map pool since we have inferno pools now.

omg no... whyyyyy whyyyyyy? whiners why?!
|
Ugh, I disagree with this decision. We've had Overgrowth since Season 2 of last year, which started in April. I think it's a very good map overall, but it becomes boring both as a spectator and a competitor to have a map in the pool for so long. Also, getting rid of Foxtrot over Deadwing is perplexing since Foxtrot was different and proved to show good games. Not saying that Deadwing hasn't but I feel the majority of people would rather see the variety that Foxtrot provides with it's multiple spawns rather than Deadwing which does feel like a stale, average macro map.
|
Foxtrot may have led to interesting games, but it's mainly because it's a bad map and nobody wanted to play on it.
|
well shit my vetos were deadwing, secret springs, and catallena. but now its overgrowth, deadwing and secret springs, guess ill have to just get used to catallena lame to bad blizz will never learn. thank god im getting better at dota cause it doesnt seem like i be playing much more of these aweful maps
|
This has to be a joke... They're actually keeping the 4 new ones? Without ANY change? Seriously??

At least Daybreak was cool :/

Lol I guess they read the feedbacks wrong. But hey Blizzard maps are Blizzard maps so they have a free ticket to the ladder without any consideration about their quality or even about the ladder's consistency (two huge 4p maps, why?)

Meh I dont like Overgrowth but it is better than foxtrott.
|
and another season of weird maps when I wish I had 4 vetoes.
I don't love Foxtrot but it's a hell of a lot more interesting than Deadwing.
|
Overgrowth? Boring. Foxtrot definitely over Deadwing. There was a tournament where that map got vetoed everytime
|
LOL how can they misread so much our feedback.
This is the last thing we wanted. OK, probably not, they could have put Nimbus back and replaced Vaani Research Station with Steppes of War, but this just shows so much how clueless they are it's mindblowing, and quite worrisome to be perfectly honest.
A far better move would have been to replace either Inferno Pools or Secret Spring (which are bad to the point of retardedness) with Overgrowth. Not Foxtrot Labs, I'll be REALLY sad if that map goes like that for all the wrong reasons. That map is awesome.

It indeed looks like a very bad joke, except it's not April 1st as far as I know.
The worst thing is that that dreadful set of additions will probably make the WCS map pool terrible for at least this season and the next one, because Overgrowth won't be there to save the day any more.
