I don't think you will get what you wish. You stated it was an "overplayed" map; which means it was a favoured map. I don't care which maps comes back, but I wonder how smaller maps will play out in HotS. Does anyone know which map had the shortest natural-natural distance? I think it was that beauty of map delta quadrant if you're talking natural to natural if you're not on cross positions there is literally one scree separating you (a gold base actually) | ||

IMO, "balance" is still broken if competitive players want the ladder pool to comprise of 1 map with 7 variations of doodad placement. | ||

I disagree, there are significant differences between today's maps even if they are nuanced and hard to see at first. Or do you think pros would unanimously agree that WCS map vetos are irrelevant (if they're just 7 versions of 1 map) and should be thrown out? Non-standard maps (too short rush distances, no main ramps, open naturals) generally won't work because of the game design of SC2. That's not a balance issue though and I don't think it's relevant to the conversation. | ||

IMO, "balance" is still broken if competitive players want the ladder pool to comprise of 1 map with 7 variations of doodad placement. I can't do anything for you if you're too blind to see the blatant differences between Nimbus, Frost, Overgrowth or Habitation Station. Saying modern maps are just doodad variations of each other is plain stupid. People seem to want maps to favor gimmick strats and to be very specific, but that's just bad design. | ||

Either the game gets half (or all) broken troll maps, or it becomes a boring revival of boring maps (some of which are probably semi-broken). | ||
