abyssal reef looks ok

paladino looks really good too. not sure about the vision blockers or tank locations.

proximal station looks meh, at least it is creative so it might be fun.

honorgrounds looks terrible imo.


I hope we get a protoss themed map from the last 3 to be used on ladder.

Abyssal looks like the easiest macro map to me, paladino cheese no1, and the other two pretty solid for macro too, honorground may be a bit annoying with some cliffs and vision.
Like them overall

Maps with extremely difficult 3rd to take and many chokes are bad for protoss I guess.

LotV economy now means easy 4th and even easy 5h. They wanted to make you mine out faster to push you into action, now some maps rewert it by giving relativly easy strongholds which contain 5 bases.

But what ever.

Man, I'm just starting to get used to the current map pool.

Still excited to play on these though. Abyssal looks sick!
I like the way Snrub thinks!

And they wonder why protoss is underrepresented on ladder.
0/10
Disgusting maps (aesthetics aside), hope they keep at least 3 current maps. But whom am i deceiving. DK's goal is to keep people away from the game they want to play.
Less is more.

I'd rather play on an endless plain with one mineral field in the middle than the current mappool, so everything is a step up!

All i see is blizzard doing the same thing that has not worked for 6 years..+ Show Spoiler [wall of text inc] +

map design so poor, so devoid of variations.. an attitude never failling to piss you off: "yeah you had shit* since the start and you are still here.. that must mean you want s hit!!""lets give you some more"

i seem to remember that one possible definition of "insanity" is to do the same thing over and over again, thinking a different outcome will happen

Sorry, i'm sort of fed up with so much bad "client support" by actiblizzard

picture Firecake asking for a sponsor's "support", lets say the sponsor is an sc2 geek:

Firecake
"yeah i can"t even prepare playing for next months map pool.. come to think of it .. can't even tell you if there will be a tournament"

sorry 4 rant

i have no ill will towards anyone, but in my "universe" when people are so bad at their job (job being make maps that hardcore players will get addicted to.. making maps that make current players get "new" people into sc2, making maps that produce viewership explosions...)
.. they lose the job ..not that it insures progress but it certainly does showcase a will to progress.

#progress is good


*examples of sh it:
- map pool rotation and patching (the way it is done/not done .. never clear, and ask hsc if blizzard likes them
(for example)
- not fixing clear miss balance of units for months (dont need examples do i?)
- never showcasing community maps in their launcher/social media
- making ghettos instead of forums
...
list goes on and on...


i bought all three and i hoped for melee to be much more than what they settled on as "good".. but it will get worse before it gets better.. and this current attitude of theirs is just making the work harder to make sc2 great! once they have let it be!
