Now I hope it doesn't win.

what's wrong with weird shit? we'll never know if it'll work or not unless people try it out

It's unintuitive, doesn't make sense, doesn't appear on the minimap and fog of war, messes up pathing, looks strange, and is extremely inelegant.

This isn't even in the same league as changing minerals, because that falls within basic gameplay rules: a 450 mineral patch works exactly how a 450 mineral patch is suppose to work. Infinite forcefields from nowhere are outside of basic gameplay rules.

I pretty much agree; if you're going to add something new it needs to be super super intuitive with no way for things to break or mess up, such as pathing. Two maps in the contest ended up breaking those rules initially, but with the edits I think both maps made some strides in the right direction (on the forcefield map the forcefields are now visible through fog of war, and the island map got rid of the hard to see/hard to target mineral wall) Not sure if the added force fields on Hunger Game are visible through fog, though. Pathing is definitely still an issue with neutral forcefields, though.

maybe it's just because i've worked a lot with bw maps, where unintuitive features are pretty common and you're just expected to learn them. stuff like neutral arbiters cloaking neutral eggs allowing you to mineral walk a worker to an island, or bizarre hitboxes that allow a path to be blocked by destroying assimilators, or mineral placements that actively encourage glitching units up cliffs have all been used in pro maps.

imo with stuff like neutral forcefields, it really only takes 1 game on the map to learn where they are and how they work, and that's ok with me.

Yeah, but those are maps made for proleague play not stuff you want on ladder.

And not all of those un-intuitive features were good for that matter. Demon's Forest comes to mind.
