How can Terraform be good for mech? It is very hard to have vision of anything and your army can be ambushed at any time. It seems almost impossible to keep track of your opponents army on that map.

It's very hard to flank on that map because it has so many chokes and very little open space. Watch for instance innovation vs rogue from yesterdays PL match.

I agree. All tlmc maps were a joke for some reason except for terraform. Now I wouldn't be surprised if blizzard decides to put their own maps in the pool again next season. Still, it's way too early to tell. With hots being out for 2 years the meta is stagnating, so having weird maps might help that at least.

I thought this was well know but apparently some people need a reminder : Last TLMC had plenty standard maps submitted but BLIZZARD wanted weird maps to go on the ladder so they only choosed the weird maps. All TLMC maps weren't a joke, it's just BLIZZARD who decided to take the joke maps. Don't blame map makers, blame Blizzard. So don't expect blizzard to put their own map in the pool next season since getting those weird maps on the ladder was part of their plan since the beginning. The only thing you can expect is that next time they'll be wiser and pick more conservative maps
