Please stop making maps with in-base naturals. Please dont stop making maps with in-base naturals. Its to always have one of those in the mappool, and people who dont like it can still ban it out. Were getting so many new rush-maps with each contest that I (and everyone else that doesnt want to rush every game) are banning anyways, it just feels fair to get some super-safe macro maps. BTW, was there anyone except 6-pooling zergs that didnt ban Defender's Landing last map pool? 
There are a lot of ways to make good safe macro maps without resorting to in-base naturals. In fact some would say that the only way to make good safe macro maps is not to resort to in-base naturals.

i really appreciate that snute is so active in this thread and kinda represents the pro gamer/SC2 hardcore playerbase and provides important feedback and input.
I feel like a lot of mapmakers are a bit out of touch of what a competetive SC2 map actually needs.
A lot of mapmakers are really talented artistic people, but you also have to keep in mind that your map should provide good, well balanced gameplay for all three races.
That's the number 1 priority. Good gameplay.

That's great feedback and definitely not patronizing. I'm sure considering gameplay is a completely novel idea to all the mapmakers out there. Why don't you make your own map? I'm sure it can't turn out worse than your opinions about mech.

Currently creating fourth map, standard.

Fennec's Depot looks pretty good!
Pooki Station has too much dead space in my opinion, all the different paths a very separated from each other.

Don't be silly, the lower expansions are gold bases in Sidian's map.
|
Even scrap station has a similar layout if you rotate it 135 degrees. Reflective maps tend to have similar layouts. It's kind of necessary to avoid having players expanding towards each other.

These are my submissions not yet submitted.
Two are WIPs. I think I only have time to finish either the space or desert one. Which is most interesting?
