I'm fucking gutted that after taking in all those submissions, they really did just make two more of their own. How is that the best outcome for them? For players? For anyone? How can you look at Lightning Eater and think, you know what, not good enough, then make Ruins of Endion, and think, oh good that will do. Is it control issues?

What I want out of this, at this point, is complete open transparent communication directly with their internal mapmakers, and with the people on the balance team who choose the internal maps. What are they thinking, what do they see that we obviously don't, and why the fuck don't they just let the obviously more-talented and inventive mapmakers in the community do their work for them? can you imagine the fucking hype of putting out a poll in battle-net for new maps? or giving one slot to a TLMC every season, etc etc, so many options.

what the hell are they doing

Waste of virtual space is a vexed eel's map.. funny how lobbying gets you more than actual mapmaking talent, not.

Blizzard is right to treat us like this.. they do whatever and the "community" takes it with a smile.. definitely deserved.

some people actually like experimental maps (see: me). the problem is they don't rotate them out fast enough.

I never enjoyed 2v2...

you want 7 standard maps? Then I wish I have 6 vetoes because there is no reason to play 7 same/standard maps.

So could we get 2 standard maps then? I think that'd be a decent start. Ulrena isn't standard, Ruins of Endion isn't standard, Invader isn't standard, KCK isn't standard, Prion Terraces isn't standard. Dusk Towers has a backdoor base and a pretty easy 3rd, that one isn't standard either.

We've not had a single actual standard map in the pool for the entirety of LotV. I think it's about time we get something in the spirits of King Sejong Station or Overgrowth so we can actually see how LotV plays out on such maps. The gimmicks just distract.

I mean, there's merit to having weird maps in the pool. But that doesn't mean the entire pool should consist of weird maps.

Looks like "standard" became a "non-standard and unique"

I am mostly disappointed that they didn't switch out all the maps. If they do a new season without switching any maps at all they should at least switch all the maps after 2 seasons.

I mean Dusk Towers may be a good map but I'm so bored of it, I just don't want to play or see it anymore. Does it sound weird that of all the maps in the new map pool I'll definitely veto Dusk towers first?

I like all of the 1v1 maps except of course the one with the back door rocks.

standard isn't synonymous to "the same", and frankly, the best map pools we've had on the ladder (Overgrowth, KSS and the friends) only shined because they had multiple normal, macro-oriented maps

They couldn't push 2 of their own maps last season, and just leave this one to the community? There were 0 new maps last season, and it couldn't take that long for the team to come up with just 2 maps. I did 3 maps in 3 weeks by myself. The way Blizzard was talking about it, I was expecting them to look for community maps with the features they described. Varied attack paths is something any good mapmaker practices regularly, it's not something Blizzard magically discovered on their own. Look at Cloud Kingdom for God's sake, and that was how many years ago? Good to know that after all that talk, half the maps are Blizzard's anyway.
