Foxtrot is vetoed a lot more than Deadwing.

Happy with the decision. Overgrowth is the stable map of the pool and until another really good stable, standard map comes along, we should keep a stable one.

Just to be curious, what was so bad about foxtrot?
I always found the map quite fun and balanced, don't know why it's vetoed so much.
On the spawns with the huge natural ramp it's quite hard to wall for protoss but for the other spawns i don't see any problems.

Because there's no way to read it right. Everyone just posts what they think without looking at others and then refers to it as "the community's opinion".

I'd rather they keep KSS then if it going to be one of the tired maps. It's Overgrowth but way better.

Season One just died for me.
Overgrowth is so much overplayed, while FTL was still fresh and not yet fully used.
I wormit when I see another Overgrowth game.
I come back in Season 2 or at any Tournament without Overgrowth.

Honestly, I greatly prefer this. Obviously, it'd have been better if they replaced one of their maps with Overgrowth...

Though, I actually just want the Blizzard map-makers to permanently retire and just let the Korean pro-gamers make them, because they will always be more balanced and logical. They really make the worst maps. Almost impressive.

Why do some maps have to stay in the map pool for so long? Wouldn't it be better an entirely new map pool every season? It would diversify the game play a whole lot, in my opinion. I also wish that Blizzard would use more community maps, but that is a different argument entirely.

Okay, don't like this move. Why would you take out Foxtrot, which some people like (especially me) and leave in Deadwing which no one likes. Even the original creater of Deadwing doesn't like Deadwing anymore.

i hate overgrowth too but i dont know why you guys want to think that foxtrot was a decent map, it was really bad, worst thirds of the world, protosses all-in d all the time on that map.

This is when we need the proleague map makers to save the day by making and using new maps in proleague and convincing Blizzard to use it as official map (like how they made Neo planet S, KSS, etc)

Seems like the type of change that allows Blizzard to say: "see, we listened", without actually doing anything real. Well we'll see how these maps will do.

Actually very excited overall. A few minus points for overgrowth and catallena (habitation station, MGR and/or KSS would fit nicely in relation to the other maps) but FFS we have 3 vetos. Only new map that might need a veto is secret spring (looks kinda like a hybrid of heavy rain and antiga shipyard but that might actually be cool).

I think the new maps will create a lot of diversity in play at the very least, which might explain the negativity coming from lots of people here, what I'm seeing is a lot of "my standard builds are going to be difficult to execute and uncertainty is lame..."
Probably the same people who complain that the game is stale.

Foxtrot is just too funky of a map, its random robots that get in the way of building stuff at crucial moments and its awkward base locations are just so undesirable. Yes Overgrowth has been played for a while now, but it lets you train solid macro games instead of relying on very specific strategies like Foxtrot. There are quite a few strategies that only work on that map, like San's Stargate contain PvT.
