Never liked abyssal caverns though. no idea why blizzard decide to keep that. Do people like this map? cos the people i practise with often veto this map down.
but I'm very glad that metalopolis is back though.

You know it's a good map pool when you can veto XNC without having to play a map like searing whateverthefukinthevoid. | ||

Turns into game of attrition, and thor hellion tank + some air/ghost support tends to be a good bit more efficient than anything zerg can throw at you. | ||

Nothing left to veto for me. Looking forward to getting some time to play this weekend! | ||

The reason its a "zerg" map is because the moment you leave your base on one side you get overrun by counterattacking lings on the other so you are forced to just sit in your base once you get beyond 2 base play. Edit: Also Bel shir is considered a "zerg" map and it is far from a balanced map. | ||

I'm sorry but that basically describes every map. Not to mention, if you don't feel safe moving out then that's your problem, not map design, there is plenty of harassment options available to every race in that situation. I'm pretty sure the only reason Metal is considered a "zerg map" is because Blizzard said Zerg statistically have a slightly higher winrate on that map, nobody really ever complained about it being too in favor of Zerg till that statement was made. | ||

The difference is on Metal it is very hard to be able to stop counter attacks. Once you get your third you have to worry about 1 massive ramp and 1 absolutely gigantic area between 1st base and 3rd for your natural "choke." It is a Zerg map because Zerg can exploit these features far more than either Terran or Protoss. On Xel'Naga (Any map really) you can do things like wall off the backdoor vs lings and you can constrict movement with building placement a lot better as well, yet it is probably IMO a more open map than Metal. | ||

The winrate for Terran is 51.9% over the last two months and several hundred games. That's not a "Zerg" map, that's a "Terrans need to learn they can simicty and use good turret placement to stop counterattacks" map. | ||

close by air or ground? ... does that mean 3 and 6 positions are close? as well as 12 and 9? | ||

The reason it's a zerg map, is because Blizzard released strats of a 60 - 70% Z winrate on it, regardless of positions. It's nothing to do with strategy opinions. | ||

Listen to the people paying to play. You would think it wouldn't be that big of a thing but as a former wow player, this is the first time they seem to have done that. | ||
