It already had -2 when I got there (only 50 min after posted). Gotta love the Blizz forum heroes that will downvote any dissonant voice. | ||

Now that I've finally done it, and Blizzard has taken what I've made and turned it into rather something else, why should ladder still be a goal for me? It doesn't feel like I accomplished anything now. | ||

So not only did they put the absolutely terrible dasan station which is basically saying "you only have 2 vetos for next season", not only did they go through with the queen buff that wasn't wanted by most of the community, but now they start fucking intellectual proriety over? Thanks blizzard, real classy once again. | ||

Well technically the EULA states anything made in the editor is owned by them, though unsure of how enforceable that is through law. It's mostly just disrespectfull, but worse is fully changing out how the map plays through making the natural an open one, essentially Daedelusing it up | ||

Harstem vs Puck, Scarlet vs Bly, Theo vs Lilkanin. And yes, you can have silly games like Snute vs uThermal but dumb stuff like that shouldn't work between equally skilled players. And yes, rushing is strong like uThermal vs Nerchio but since you're not forced to take the gold as your natural this kind of rush isn't necessarily broken; but it is an effective counter to the fast expand to the gold. | ||

Changing a map in the face of that feedback says either (a) the map team knows balance better than pros/community (b) the map team wanted the map to play out differently than intended. In the case of (b) don't betray the map makers vision and just pick another map. This is my biggest gripe with the change. The contest had clear categorization of all maps. This map was fully intended to be a standard macro map. That's the reason it was voted into the top 4. But that's not what we are going to get now. With the open natural it's at its best non-standard. That's not what people voted for. If you don't want a standard map, choose a different one, ffs. They had so many options. There were multiple non-standard maps in TLMC I would rather play than broken Galactic Process. | ||

Pretty much. I've never seen so much hate for a map in such a short time, and like you said I really don't think most people even watched the games or have played on the map. If we're just going to judge things based on looking at the overview only, then I honestly think the new GSL map (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-maps/510324-4-rqm-judgement) should be getting more hate than Dasan. It's literally 4 bases behind 1 defensive position, with the 5th being pretty close too. Yes some air/drop harass is possible but in general it's just so deathbally and poorly designed. | ||

Well, they turned it into a different type of map than the one that was top 5 in TLMC, and imo it was a change for the worse. I'll probably veto this even though the original concept was fine. Because walling this natural is so unreasonable. The Great Wall of China isn't enough to cover that. | ||

Sure, but after i read the first reactions here i thought it would be way worse. There definitely should be some form of communication with the map creator (at least about the gameplay change), but some comments are borderline ridiculous (including twitter responses) Maybe Blizzard will actually add the rocks, that might be the best form of actions | ||

While it's a very interesting map from a design and viewer perspective, there's one thing with that Dasan stands out to me, and that is if it is also fun to play, which I believe should be the main function of the map, especially when it comes to ladder, and why I consider this map in particular to be more fit for showmatches/tournaments rather than regular play. Reception of the map during the testing tournament wasn't all to positive, which leaves me with question marks about its future on the ladder. | ||

They have to, right? I mean this is possibly unplayable for Protoss vs Zerg, it's ugly for Terran vs Zerg, and I don't think this is okay for Terran vs Protoss either, but every Protoss would veto this because of PvZ so nobody could ever know for sure. | ||

Anyway, people are kinda over reacting, a simple "hey blizz what's up with the rocks?" would have been a much more mature attitude, that twitter and forums shitstorm just make people ranting hard to be taken seriously... | ||
