All I wish to play is macro games with the occasional cheese. Now it is non stop cheese and macro is dead. It is not fun, it is just stressful and irritating. | ||

I think Terraform is interesting. I could do with a few less line of sight blockers though. It's like that map is made so you can't ever get any map vision. | ||

Even so, the map forum has always gotten relatively little outside attention, and the relationship between the people who make the maps and the players has become toxic. The players feel entitled to an amazing map pool, and anytime a map has a noteworthy flaw players more often than not berate the mapmaker. There's an unreasonable entitlement going on, an unreasonable expectation and lack of appreciation for what mapmakers do. It's small wonder the pool of talented mapmakers is a small fraction of what it was in WoL days. | ||

Regarding what NewSunshine and Sidian said I pretty much fully agree, it is very hard to even get your own maps played, but my take is that atm is very hard for anyone that actually wants to play nonladder maps it is very hard for them to find said maps, be it inside the game itself, or find a place outside where they can find nice maps to play with their friends. | ||

The thing is that for some reason blizzard wanted to have as much gimmicks and abusable features in this mappool as possible so they just chose those maps. It's solely blizzards fault so don't blame the mapmakers | ||

Some of the attack paths that are opened up by breaking destructible rocks are simply too potent for how little time and dps investment can be put into breaking them. Bridgehead in particular could really use some 6000hp, 1 armor rocks. Currently, Roaches, Immortal, and Marauders chew through them way too quickly. Yeah I fully agree, the limitation on the HP of rocks and other things can really hurt into map layouts and map balance, like check any BW map that had back doors, and you will see that in general it wasn't easy at all to break these walls, they would usually have Destructible Temples stacked on top of each other so only splash damage units could take them down reliably,and maps such as Medusa would also besides the temples have mineral walls to avoid even more players easily being able to take down the back doors. | ||

the same people who complained about blizzard maps all the fucking time now complain about a 100% community map pool. and the same people who complain about standard "boring" maps now complain about some experimental details. | ||

It really doesnt, everyone who looked at these maps even once knew they are bad to play on. I dont know why map makers are saying there was no feedback and acting like this is the first time they heard the maps are bad. When there was TLMC tournament İ wrote whats bad about the maps for each map in TLMC tournament and every map maker gave me the response which was something along the lines of " thanks for sharing your opinion but we have no plans of changing the map". A lot of players that played in that tourney had same opinion as İ did back then. The worst map pool since 2010 that just allows allins and no macro games. | ||

Yeah pretty much. The community is very divided regarding standard and nonstandard maps and features, and you can clearly see this every time the map pool changes (or when it doesn't). I personally as long as the map pool changes I'm fine with, I enjoy playing on standard and nonstandard maps. Hell I even enjoy playing on early WoL beta maps like incineration zone now and then. But yeah, my only grief with this TLMC is that all the talk at the end of the TLMC5 was that the TLMC 6 would be focused on standard maps, and I delivered, but at the end it went full 180º and the judges choose nonstandard maps, and I'm okay with that, but I only wish that they had said that they were searching for so I could deliver, because I find very fun making nonstandard maps because they require quite a bit of game knowledge and are very fun to test and debug (yes I enjoy debugging my maps). @beasty & Wire As I said, this is a very nice discussion, because there are these two sides where one side really dislikes playing on nonstandard maps, and the other gets tired of the same set of standard maps being played all the time. I really don't see a way how this could be mended specially when you consider the viewers into the equation. I was talking with Meavis about this a while ago, and yeah, the only way I can see it getting "fixed" may be separating the "competitive" map pool from a more "for funnies" map pool. But there would still be the problem that the progamers will veto any map that gets away from the standard and the E-Sports side of the game would continue to use the same "dull ass maps". But yeah, if anyone has an idea regarding how we could have everybody, or at least a good part of the population without fucking the other 50% over would be very nice. | ||
