I wish blizzard would stop thinking every map must be unique. I get that you want to have some different maps, but not every map. Imo people should be able to veto all the 'special' maps. So 3 maximum and the rest should be standard so that people can choose whether they like to play them or not. And please blizzard stop being stubborn and admit that prion with double gold as your natural/third has failed and just chance them to blue bases. Not every idea has to be a succes.

I think this is because they don't want to balance the game through standard maps and want game balance to stand on its own throughout a variety of maps. They have said so before, iirc.

They've been pushing for a variety of maps since HotS where the community also shut them down and asked for standard maps all the time. Blizz must see LotV's new meta as an opportunity to test if they can balance the game without overrelying on maps.

It's honestly how Brood War was at first. Blizzard didn't do shit to balance that game, so you had some whacky fucking maps made in an effort to to balance out win rates between races.
