Baffled by Gold base naturals, i just dont see any point . why not just remove gold from the map completely


because making boring maps with nothing interesting is one of the reasons HOTS died 3 months after launch

the question is what in the world makes gold naturals interesting. ok, both players save minerals and have a few more marines and a few more zerglings as well as fewer workers. what makes this interesting?

it's interesting when it's a third or fourth base with risk associated because harassment starts becoming involved and builds diverge into aggressive, defensive, etc. but everyone is going to take the gold natural, so..?


I bet you, not everyone is gonna do it. Reason: You think your opp will 100% do it. :D

I really like the idea of gold natural, it promotes some different and creative styles. Players are definitely encouraged more to think about the composition they will go for on this map.

Id also like the idea of giving less efficient naturals, or even crazy stuff like double inbase naturals.
Anything that shakes the game up is good for me.

Remember, it doesnt have to be balanced fully for it to be fun. I actually enjoyed the 2 gold bases as my 3rd and 4th, i found that to be interesting and fun to play on.

And if youre one of those whiny internet haters, then just veto the map.

I think I gangnam terran every game now when I get the map with gold base natural. go for a double rax wall off and you get a pocket, safe "natural" too.

Prion definitely getting a veto from me now. Not trying to fully memorize a new build order per match up because of a gold natural.

This map pool is so bad. To people saying we need different and this dumb shit on maps, do you remember Overgrowth? Yeah.

Awesome to see Blizzard making some good changes to the game. Anyone know when they intend to launch the next balance test map to try to better balance the units/game?

So gold bases make for interesting gameplay? Making stuff different for the sake of difference?

Or we could try to make more interesting gameplay by rewarding more unit diversity. Like tank-based mech instead of air based mech?

remember bois, gold bases give the same mineral income, but at higher worker efficiency, this just speeds up early game economy

Because you think people would be happy with that ? Of course they'll find something to hate too...

Good changes i think, but i don't understand the fascination with gold bases. They just beg for unnecessary balance problems.

It's for science....you monster.

OP: Can we have destructible rocks to wall off the gold bases too? Destructibles for days.
