Map Diversity We noticed the posts regarding having to only use standard maps due to everyone only liking standard maps. We had two points of discussion after reading through these conclusions. First, out of top maps, the ones voted as the 1st place map, the 3rd place map, and the 4th place map don’t seem like standard maps to us, so the conclusions some people have drawn to say that everyone only likes standard maps seems to be inaccurate. Second, we don’t understand how having 4+ similar maps in the ladder or tournaments can be a good thing. Due to the veto system in both official and automated tournaments, we’ve seen that if we go with only a few maps that are different, in some cases they might be vetoed out in every game except for the BO7 finals matches. This paragraph is so contradictory and makes absolutely no sense... A lengthy explanation of questionable "evidence" where they explain why people are "wrong" that people don't prefer to play on standard maps... (with claims about 1st-4th place maps that were "voted" on but provides no data about those maps or votes) Then he says in official and automated tournaments, the maps may be vetoed out every game??? If people like the maps so much, why the hell would they be vetoing all of them out every game??? We’ve been at that spot in the past before and have clearly seen how stale the game can become if every tournament game plays identically with the same strategy and same timings available on every map. We’re not saying every single tournament out there should have a diverse map pool, and having a couple tournaments here and there that use more standard maps could be a fun difference. If the games playing out the same strat same timings every game, doesn't that suggest a lack of depth in design/balance issues?? But instead of addressing the issues... they prefer to throw in maps with silly mechanics that are inherently imbalanced towards a certain race... 'Let's keep it new with crazy mechanics, rather than actually adding enough depth to keep it new'... I don't know how they don't understand, the reason "standard" maps exist in basically all competitive games, is because you need a standard to base the games mechanics around in order to achieve balance! I guess it benefits Blizzard if they don't have to actually spend real development time on the game, and can simply keep a couple of map designers playing around in SC2 editor playing with maps rather than addressing the real issues with the game... | ||

The solution we’re currently thinking of instead is to allow customization on the option that has preset colors. Currently, the defaults are: Green for a player, Yellow for the player’s allies, and Red for all enemies. By customizing these 3 categories of colors, players would have a clean and simple solution compared to the more complex options. So the main discussion we should be having on this front is: is the above proposal the best overall solution we can have in this area? If so, we can start working on this task. If not, let’s get discussions going on the best solution, so that we can work towards implementing it in the future. The perfect solution I've been advocating for for ages. Thank God. And thank God they're realizing KCK sucks. | ||

The new map pool turns out to be Scrap Station, Desert Oasis, Steppes of War, Debris Field, a 1v1 version of Kimeran Refuge, a melee-ported version of a campaign map, and the best map of the community map submissions: ![[image loading]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CaOzFNyWIAAxIcG.jpg:large) . | ||

That will be way too hard to deal with for zerg unless you always go mutas. | ||

The disqualification came from pinning it on the mongolian breaking a rule that none of the players knew existed. http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/506573-the-real-reason-sioras-was-dqd how come this wasn't addressed? | ||
