I mean no idea how it’d work in LoTV but damn I loved that map Considering how many CK clones we've had over the years, I'm sure it would work fine. There are no glaring imbalances on that map, other than maybe the main being a bit too easily accessible by reapers and blink stalkers. | ||

All the CK clones (Galactic Process, Eternal Empire etc) are bigger, have more than 12 bases, and in particular have a much safer fourth base, so I don't think that's necessarily true. | ||

Ice and Chrome would still be nice, so would be eternal empire, nightshade and ever dream. Well, at least in my book as a 100% mech player :-) Yea me and one of my buddies from the WoL days play alot of games on those 3 maps even to this day, great designs imo. Even if not perfectly balanced I wouldn't mind an old favorite coming back for a season  | ||

Most of the old maps were built around the fact, you have more minerals in bases thus you don't need so many bases(especially WoL maps), you stay longer on 2 bases if needed. Right now 2 base push is an all in or early game pressure and 3 bases are guaranteed with 4th being semi-guaranteed. A lot of the old maps have harder access to the 3rd base and bad 4th. Because back then 4-base play was very late in the game. Many of the old maps would be awful in the current meta. And some of the "oh my sweet memories) were maps in the blink stalker era. If there's something we don't need more it's the blink stalker all-in friendly maps. | ||

Don't get me wrong, if I knew the season would be for a short period of time, I would be all for an oldies party, like a week of meme maps(Steppes of War  ) and 2 weeks of good ol' maps. But a full season is an overkill IMO. | ||

I am getting very scared, but maybe I am just a blind idiot(like always :D) so I may have missed them maps tweet or something. Edit> I believe the new seasons starts April 1st, so we have less than a fortnight now | ||

A wall instead of the destructible rock is the solution. | ||

From there too many boring fights and stalements at any circumstances. A wall instead of the destructible rock is the solution. Daybreak was played early in LotV and it was awful fwiw. | ||

Surely you are not suggesting Blizzard hire more than one person to manage a game of such small quantity. 200,000 is the average Cyberpunk playerbase right now which is a very small number, and most likely, (I don't have the data,) they only have a single intern working on that game as well. | ||

If they don't want to put resources into vetting new maps, at least rotate in some old ones or something. Personally I would love to have Golden Wall back in the pool for another season. I had a lot of interesting and fun games on that map. | ||

I kinda don't want Abyssal Reef in a meta where skytoss has become viable again. King Sejong Station would be interesting I guess--when it was played in early LotV there was loads of tank pushes from across the rocks, wonder if it would still be the same. As a side note Trap and Dream did play on KSS just yesterday for  The Gemini Korean Invitational/2021/March | ||
