Why don't I just downmod them? Meh, I don't want to be a pussy about it. It isn't like I have to play steppes or lost temple or old delta quad with cliff on your nat. None of the remaining ones deserve to be downmodded. | ||

Obvious Zerg. I think whoever designed slag pits had their head up their ass. Blizzard's official justification was that it was a macro map. With rush distances shorter than Steppes on close positions. Please, take out Shakuras and put that in so I can play my macro games. /s Delta is awful in the same manner. Unbelievable that they took out Shakuras and left that. Backwater I don't have that much of a problem with, I just don't like the natural setup. The easy third is nice, though. I don't mind it that much, most of the time. | ||

Terran here, and those are some no-brainer choices. Scrap station isn't that bad, just the one I like least of those remaining. I've had some really awesome games on Blackwater Gulch, and I actually really like that map. Lots of bases, and they're actually possible to take. Lots of terrain to mess around with, and just in my experience I've had some very epic 30+ minute games on it. | ||

I just think terran banshees, drops and zerg mutas are so strong on that map and become hard to deal with. Also, walling off vs. zerg is almost impossible before they over run you. | ||

I veto Scrap, the worst map ever made for Zerg. I would be happy if Steppes replaced it in the map pool. | ||

Slag Pits just blows my mind. Why Blizzard took the time to design a whole bunch of new maps that are literally 95% as bad as the old ones (LT remake is fine) instead of just pulling the GSL maps into ladder is beyond me. | ||

I'm also amazed so many other terrans have scrap vetoed, sure mutas are a pain but there's just so much potential what with the hellion openings and those rocks for the ultimate mid game push. | ||

I think typhon peaks is bad also because of all the tight spaces and the main distances make it very hard to have an overlord in position to sack which you pretty much have to do at high level play (can't tell you how many times I arrive at cross spots to find a full wall off and no idea what's coming out, it really wants to make you pull your hair out when 2 port banshee or 6 blue flame hellions come out among other things). Obviously close position metal and shattered are terrible as well. Scrap also has an issue with tight spacing. Xel-Naga is far and away my favorite, please put gsl maps on the ladder blizzard. | ||

-Terrans Vetoing Scrap station. It's a pretty good mech map, and pretty good for any composition, unlike many maps, vikings can excel on this map. I think terrans might not like it because it somewhat mandates slightly different play style. -Protoss vetoing slag pits... maybe it's a TvP issue? I know terrans can siege the main from outside, and close position might have bio rush problems? -Zerg not vetoing typhon peaks more. It's not a bad map for zerg EXCEPT for the IMO HUGE issue of narrow corridors and cliffs causing big colossus/FF/siege_tank abuse problems. I didn't give the map a chance, but I don't see how it could be easy to deal with those problems that occur in every game which are just amplified by a large factor. My vetos as zerg are Backwater #1, Typhon Peaks #2, Delta Quadrant #3 Metalopolis, slag pits, and Shattered temple (especially shattered temple) have huge problems in close position, but that's only 33% chance, and otherwise they are rather decent maps.
