Given that there's an extension for the test patch patch out, I wanted to try it on some of the best / iconic maps from the olden days. Sadly, my memory fails me, so the only ones I remember the names of were
I'll also post the map picture to help people remember
Cloud Kingdom LE (best map of all time?) + Show Spoiler +
Daybreak + Show Spoiler +
Xel'Naga Caverns (debatable, personal favorite)+ Show Spoiler +
Some others that people mentioned:
Whirlwind (some good pro games if I recall). + Show Spoiler +
Overgrowth (I completely forgot about this one, but I liked it) + Show Spoiler +
Bel'Shir Vistige (I think I remember some crazy TvZ marine parade vs ling bling muta games on this one) + Show Spoiler +
King Sejong Station (Well it returned so I guess it did something right, not my cup of tea truthfully) + Show Spoiler +
Neo Planet S (Some crazy isht going on here) + Show Spoiler +
Frozen Temple (I must have missed the season this map was out ;_;) + Show Spoiler +
Habitation Station (Scarlett pls) + Show Spoiler +
Ohana (Means family did you know?) + Show Spoiler +
Metropolis (What was that one game that was split map with battle cruisers and stuff?) + Show Spoiler +
Scrap Station (Beta Bros!) + Show Spoiler +
Shakuras Plateau(Classics. Respect) + Show Spoiler +
Akilon Wastes (Was a good time for a long time)+ Show Spoiler +
Thanks fam for dropping so many memorable maps :D

Second Whirlwind, Overgrowth is great as well.
|
I agree with OP.
Bel'shir Vestige is another amazing map.
|
oh this thread again
1. Whirlwind
2. King Sejong Station
3. Neo Planet S
|
Daedalus Point and Dasan Station
..
Just kidding, Overgrowth is my favourite map of all time. I think it's just perfect.
At the beginning of SC2 I also liked Steppes of War (probably just because I had some cool games with friends on that map)

Daybreak + Show Spoiler +
These two maps killed my interest in watching SC2 for the longest time.
They were in the map pool far too long and imo they're nnot interesting maps at all.

Tough one. But i guess its this:
1. Bel'Shir Vestige
2. Korhal Sky Island (Because Terran  )
3. Overgrowth
4. Polar Night
5. Ohana
Not necessarily because of balance reasons but because i found these maps incredibly fun to play on.

While I agree they were in the pool far too long, they always produced very interesting games and I think were universally loved. If I recall, the problem was a combination of quality maps not coming out at the time, and the community not willing to change when a few new and or interesting maps did come out (this was mid HotS right?)

Why do people like Whirlwind? My memory of it is that it was very zerg favoured. I was never keen on maps that were so much better for one race.
|
Thanks and true, but since many maps were never played in LotV we'll never really know 
Though I can imagine Cloud Kingdom and lurkers would be... interesting to say the least.
|
What? CK? DB? They were fun 4 years ago, but playing them now just shows how bad their design is. Same for Ohana, for an exeption of, may be, Belshir. Overgrowth is ok i guess. But i really liked it back in the days.
Coda
King Sejong
Frozen Temple
These are a examples of how well designed and balanced a map should be.
Dusk Towers could be if its redesigned to remove that narrow path in the middle to avoid stalemaes.
Trash like Galactic process, Dasan Station, Dash terminal, Ulrena should be banned from battle.net forever.

Sorry, I just have to say this...
I really enjoyed Scrap Station. It was so extremely different. The game felt so completely different, in a cool way.
+1 Scrap Station
|
My top 3 would probably be something like this :
1. Neo Planet S.
2. King Sejong Station.
3. Whirlwind.
|
i really like the maps in the current map pool.

Shakuras Plateau and Xel Naga Caverns, hands down two of the best maps in the past.
Dual Sight was really nice too.
