 Blood Boil looks tricky (2 entrances to the main) Defenders Landing simply put looks bad. Overall quite nice mappool - I hope for good games on those maps | ||

I don't see how you could put together a single argument that'll defend this disaster of a map. that's the funny thing about Defender's, nobody did, Blizzard just picked it up. | ||

Defender's Landing is indeed looking weird, but there are vetos of course. Looking forward to trying them out. | ||

Do people think ladder should use the GSL map pool which includes Overgrowth, Deadwing, Daybreak and Frost instead of the proposed maps? | ||

Nope. But that is a great idea. | ||

Ulrena and Dasan were 2 of the worst maps in LotV, if not ever, and Blizzard still wants to have rush maps in the pool. People want maps that encourage macro play, not maps where your opponent's natural is 15 seconds away. | ||

Blizzard: let's put the map contest winners on the ladder. TL posters: The ladder maps suuuuuuck!! sigh... That said, the new team maps really makes me want to come back and play some sc2 again! Can i get an updated version featuring TLmapmakers' lines added please?

my biggest concern is that i havent met anyone who doesnt experience an FPS drop on bloodboil LE and for some players its huge. (150 -> 50) edit: defenders landing would be better if the natural made any kind of sense. even like 10% "yeah i see why they did that" but its actually so fucking confusing. i look at the natural and i just think wow this is the natural of two different maps combined into 1 dont know why blizzard is so rock fckin hard for maps that arent possible to wall in reasonably in pvz or tvp on the natural. nothing exciting about losing to ling/adept runbies. just telegraphs "we dont want terran or protoss to attack until they take a third base," which is boring. this map will have a really disgusting high z/p winrate, it will be forgotten in 2 months as a result. | ||

Lots of interesting games and fun on that map. | ||

Idk a just wanted to make a title... and since its all about community maps it is the test for mapmakers... or no? Like any admin is free to change it to whatever they want It is a nice tittle, i just wanted you to say that, .. at least it is a clear cut title to entice people to post "if i consider myself a mapmaker i should post in this thread" Don't mind me i was tipping my head/hat at the tittle nothing more.. we need more threads / outlet about community and blizzard maps that are or would become ladder maps, good on you to do one. The tittle made me smile that's all, "did your map pass the mapmaker's test"? is how i read it i guess and that's fine, i wish it were so  every map would have to be in its thread and all mapmakers (to keep their active mapmaker card active) would post one post and then edit it if warranted, but all would be present.. then each OP would link to "best/worst" about the map from "every mapmaker.. mmm that would be good... disclaimer:any one person thinking about how maps are made can be a "mapmaker", it is better if you make / made some yourself but not a prerequisite to voice stuff about a map. then we could have a COMMUNITY melee maps WE want on tl not a competition to get in a competition to have a decent pool! sigh #nice thread <3 | ||

It must be the best map I personally hate when a map dictates strategy. Maps should ENABLE players to play a variety of ways instead of forcing them to play how the mapmaker intended. | ||
