EPTHow would you play it? I'm wondering if this wouldn't be a great idea given the current meta state, because it would allow for more risks, as far as I can tell, and possibly at an earlier time.
Mandatory protected natural for every map?

The only map I can remember that did it kind of right was Vaani Research Station because 1) the 3rd was open 2) it wasn't on high ground (unlike Dusk Towers for example). But it had other issues. | ||

A pattern i haven't seen explored much is the novice maps from the beginning of WoL. So short rush distance but rock protected. There's a lot of hate lately for small maps but maybe rocks could put the emphasis on 2 base play rather than one. Probably still an awful idea but would probably be better than in base natural | ||

Overall having 1 map in the pool that has an inbase natural is fine, more than that orients the meta towards heavy turtle or silly cheeses. | ||

Too bad the maps often turn into a all-in fest when the natural slighty harder to defend than average | ||

However in TLMC they said, maps where 3rd is not defendable are downright vetoed... . | ||

I am however a fan of variation in the map pool. So having one map with a backdoor or whatever is fine. But not all of them. | ||

A none-gold abit closer then on boardwalk but with same small area and small exit blocked by a rock. 1. It would be safe to take directly but make a bad military base. 2. Give safe economy but not really allow you to turtle since an attack would overwelm the base if did that. Or more like a normal natural but with tiny rocks to shot down. Normal rocks is 2000 hitpoints? These could be like 500 just to give that tiny wall without needing to put alot of buildings down. | ||

Why do you think there needs to be rocks? What purpose will this serve? Why do people think we need a protected/semi-protected natural? All races have the tools to secure all the bases they need provided they utilize their race properly. Why do people want this again? | ||

I have claimed no need, but most maps seems to have rocks that be removed or shot down to change the pathways temporarly, it seems the most natural way to use what the game already got. 2. A wall serve the purpose of delaying the time in which your enemy can start attack you. 3. Nobody else then the thread starter has said it good. You are confusing people who choose to debate the topic with people who want it/think it is a good idea. | ||
