We mapmakers have some unofficial rules/standards, including one pertaining the distance behind mineral lines. It seems the lowground (natural) is in an infraction to these.

Might also be because all of the new maps are pretty bad for cannon rushes :p | ||

I think its super irrational because im still playing almost the same game and even the maps are so standard every time, but just the new tilesets, stylings and exploration of the maps makes the game way more enjoyable. So I have been enjoying ladder quite a bit more. Might also be because all of the new maps are pretty bad for cannon rushes :p Have you looked at the previous pages of this thread? I don't think cannon rushes are busted on any of the spots that I've seen, but I wouldn't call them bad either. | ||

Maybe we can get moar of these bad cannon rushing pictures from her. The last time she got mad she beat DRG(?) with Protoss | ||

I played a couple cannon rushers and non of the spots they tried were as annoying as DA or ie this triton one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au93Img83vg . maybe word just hasnt reached the poor cannon rushers yet.. I am very glad that map is gone dethura was an interesting map but the dumb canon rush spots, and extreme ease of turtleing on 4 base made it an imbalanced map. | ||

Deathaura was pretty balanced despite all of the turtling. Initially it was one of the most balanced maps in all of LotV though that fell off towards the end due to skytoss pushing ZvP in Protoss' favour. But even with that it was still more balanced than most. | ||

That one was one of the only maps that wasn't zerg favored, without asinine ans shameless design decisitons to help zerg like an invisible overlord spot over your natural. Zergs actually had to scout early. The only map in last season's map pool where zerg had a >50% win rate in both zvp and zvt was lightshade. | ||

It's not much worse than say Ephemeron. It's the sheer number of adjacent positions that's the problem. If I make a Pylon in the middle position against the cliff-edge, it is going to power four different Cannon locations. If I make a Pylon in the middle position behind the minerals, it is going to power three different Cannon locations. For the cost of two Pylons, the Cannon rusher forces their opponent to pull seven Probes to block Cannon placement and/or attack the Pylons directly. This is on top of the two defensive Probes that should be attack-commanded onto each offensive Probe regardless of the map. I make no secret of the fact that I'm a Cannon rusher, it's right there in my signature, but I'm still going to be vetoing this map because it's too much of a meme. | ||
