Not a fan of in base expansions. I thought this was a map feature that we got rid of a long time ago.

I dont know. I just love the new rotation maps for 4v4. A lot of huge maps that discourage rush.

I'm not suire why people don't like 4 base maps when their issue was solved years ago?

Before they removed them, when you played on a 4 player map, the game showed you on the minimap where the enemy was. So positions would vary between each game but you'd know exactly where yo scout to remove the randomness of dying to cheesebecause you scouted the wrong base.

It's a problem that was already fixed

I even initially prefaced that concern in my first post and had that exact pushback, if you reveal the starting positions it gives more creative opportunities to play around with symmetry options.

Totally forgot about that. Yes even that would be fine, it'd give that slight randomness of different positions.
Also, in terms of map design, it would be great to allow players to claim different corners of the map later, to spread out the economy/production and have more spread out and hectic gameplay. I really really miss gameplay from 4 player maps, like Tal'Darim, Frost, etc. There were lots of great games due to bases being split up more and later bases having defensible features like small chokes and high ground, and not having all later bases be out in the open on low ground that are very easy to attack into.

How fun and consistently played a map like "Fighting Spirit" is to BW and SC2 has no current equivalent makes me want to keep shouting from the rooftops lol.
