So there really are not so many player that did not ban inferno pools.
This should be a sign (well, even if the community here is a bit biased anyway).

But I also do like expedition lost, why so much hate ?

Iron Fortress, Expedition Lost and most of all Infernal Pools need to go. Hopefully no new maps have backdoor expansions either, as they are such a pain.

Oh yeah, please no more backdoors. For the love of God.

I like backdoors a lot in theory, but I wish mapmakers would feel more at liberty to do more to reduce how severely vulnerable some races can be to certain types of attacks that exploit backdoors. They just feel a touch extreme to me is all. Early game Zerg can't do much about them, and yet midgame Zerg and Terran both plow those things down as if they were nothing. And some races are way more vulnerable to those types of attacks than others. Especially mech Terran and robo-centric Protoss. Maybe try something like a double layer of rocks along a narrower ramp, or some HP 3000, armor 4 rocks. Or maybe try a wide ramp that's blocked by a forcefield-like map feature that automatically shuts off at the 15-minute marker.

That last one's actually a pretty neat idea... Maybe I should make a map and submit it to TB for the next season of Clan Wars.

Seems likely to me that most if not all of the new maps will be from the last TLMC d:

I also like backdoor in theory. The thing is that afaik, Blizzard refuses to put on ladder maps with modified rock armor & health values under the reason that it's confusing for players...

Hopefully some good maps will come in and inferno and expedition will go. Some 2v2 maps would be good

I just want to see Ganymede. Dropping Inferno Pools is necessary, dropping Expedition Lost would be nice, Terraform is pretty neat, Echo/Coda are a bit too similar et cetera but my burning desire for Ganymede tops it all.
