Everything is new, which means that you want to find a stable meta, what works and what doesnt. You dont want to force players to play a certain way, you want players to decide for themselves whats good and not good on maps that allow for various different styles, not maps that pigeonhold players into playing a certain way

doesn't this presume that maps that depart radically from current conventions dramatically favor certain styles more than the ones we use now? While this might be true for some "unorthodox" map ideas, the metagame on current ladder maps already favor certain builds- just look at prion reaper terraces. This isn't to say that's bad- creating different games is the whole point of using different maps, which is why being bold isn't inherently harmful.

Rakshir looks like its going to be another map where its just one allin after another. Taking third looks hard.

Sky shield looks really cool

Haha. If Rak'shir was Blizzard-made, it would have earned lotsa bad feedback. Names change so much. Very interesting.
|
Are those maps available on any region in-game?
|
Can we replace 2 of the trash ladder maps with these 2? would make ladder so much more enjoyable
|
i am not a zerg but these look bad for zerg, so many small ramps :o

Seems like all of the Blizzard maps are unchanged.

I can't believe Lerilak Crest made it into the mapool. Sky Shield looks awesome.

I don't like Lerilak much but it's no worse than Ruins of Seras or Prion Terraces (I actually dislike Ruins of Seras the most).

why do we have so many super dark maps?
I recall HerO complaining that the HotS release maps hurt his eyes.

I can't tell from the image, but is there a small bridge at the very center of Sky Shield?
|
I would be very interested to play on Sky Shield, looks like it changes things up from the norm.
|
Honestly, if anybody needs free maps, from an induvidual to an organization, theres plenty of incredible maps on the forums. I'm sure the authors would be more than happy to let them use them.
Still sad Kill the Watchers hasn't been exposed in any way yet.
