Not a fan of any of them
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I like standard maps.
The game is hard enough without maps like post youth making things more complicated.

Dynasty is the only one I don't want to veto.

When looking at post youth, I must remind something similar, and better used to exist.
see how back then Secret Spring, Nimbus and Honorgrounds handle the things.
And it's another pity that these days, many games start with blocking the second chockpoint rather than the one for natural.
Now maps are too defensive like unkillable.

I suggested long ago to test gold base pocket bases, because pocket usually favours Terran, but gold favours the other races and I thought it would be interesting. I rly like these 2 new gold base, half gold base natural expo maps.

The patch was a bad cabal patch, but what is positive is the new maps and the suggested balance changes from the map community.

To be honest after playing a few games in all matchups

The news maps are all pretty rubblish, I’m assuming it might be different as a viewer when I see it play out during big tournaments

But as a player, none of the new maps feels fun to play. Too many awkward design

i appreciate the fact that map makers wanted to try some stuff.

But i think they overdid it. Also i believe most if not all are very Terran Favoured. Amphion is the only one decent.

Crimson Court, the rocks are just wayy too durable, basically favouring terran and chokepoints (say good buy to zergling runbys basically or flanking)... If it wasnt for the rich gas it would be downright unplayable for Zerg. (Now im thinking if the good play on this map is going mutas ....)

Dynasty is a bit more decent but the backdrop gold, makes it so you need to play around that feature, i dont like that the map takes the whole mechanic of the game.

Post Youth is absolute trash for Protoss, and while the gold is good for zerg, the map architecture is just horrlble full of chokepoints. Again, terran favoured.

Ghost River, with the entrance to natural is actually the worst offender, instant veto after i played it once. (tanks there is just horrible)

I have vetoed Post Youth and Ghost River. Totally unplayable. And i havent vetoed a third because i still need to play more Crimson/Dynasty to see which one is worst.

Btw, why are the map makers such Terran fanboys ?

speaking of Terran favoured maps...
my favourite map is Malevelon Creek. oops wrong game.

As a Terran player I have to let you know how it is. There are 3 kinds of maps. First we have the Zerg favoured maps... then we have the Protoss favoured maps. The third type of map are the balanced maps.

Meh, I'm sure some people will like the way these maps skew balance in certain match-ups, but they feel very gimmicky and verge into influencing outcomes more than player skill. Obviously there's been maps in the past that've done something similar, but there's so many of them this season.

I really like Amphion a d Dynasty, Post-Youth on the other hand feels unplayable as terran because your backdoor runs out of minerals so fast and you just have no mining. Can't expand as fast as the other races

No it doesnt, you just do a timming push with tanks, putting them behind natural and thats it .... that entrance is really skewed in favour of terran

You are aware mapmakers make other maps not selected to be in the pool…

I've been confused watching games on Ghost River - saying why doesn't anyone use the healing fountain? I didn't realize it was removed... why? It could make for some really interesting games.

I think variety in maps is healthy and a good thing. I hope the community develops a stomach for it. I fear the sc2 community loves standard maps and one tricking a build on all maps.
