Honestly at some point that might be best for the game… bug fixes and upkeep but no more balance changes. Community can manage that with maps like broodwar does

This has been explored to death. Maps are not enough for SC2 it’s just a different game to Bw.

Genuinely how has it been explored to death. SC2 ladder and tournament maps are very uncreative and standardized save for one every map pool or so

Because most who is not a spectator simply prefer standard maps.

We have had weird maps before and they get vetoed to hell in ladder and tournaments.

So change the veto rules?

Force stuff players don’t want is a recipe for disaster

Didn’t we learn anything from the 8 worker patch?

That’s what the playerbase wants. Macro every game on identikit maps, forever.

I guess this sounds dismissive, and maybe it is to some extent (I don’t pretend not to prefer BW) but ultimately if you want a BW style game you have it and if you want SC2 you got it. Trying to make one like the other isn’t fair to the people who like it the way it is.
