I'd like to focus on maps from WGTour.com because they're the only ladder I have any intention of playing.

Guidelines for posting in this topic...

-Post a picture of said map
-Choose to discuss any number of the following: Balance, Looks, Improvments, Gameplay, and How they did it.
-Give a well thought out argument for your stance on the topic (ie: don't ask other people to think for you, tell them what you think first)

You must have...

-Played at least ten games on a Ladder with more than 10,000 players*
-Manners (don't tell someone who meets requirments they're dumb, tell them your side)
EDIT: Removed a rule, it's been requested I allow people to run around killing enjoyment for people who actually have an intention of using the topic for it's purpose.

*Player: Someone who frequently plays games with people, this mean they don't just have an idle account or WinBot.

Obide by these rules please, keep it clean.

Unfortunatly, I cannot find one I really have beef with at the moment, I need to play some games on them (a lot of them I havn't played in at least a few months).

ADDITION:
I guess I'll start with one of the most obviously flawed maps, to get the ball rolling, I kinda feel bad having to go this low but here it is.
Lost Temple Gamei

Zerg are forced to make an extra hat for proper defense at 12 spot, among many other imbalances... the map is hard to play on sometimes if you play other maps than this one, when so many play this and only this map (or the other LTs), great games have been played on these maps, but if you're like me you've grown tired of people copying what they've seen before with such accuracy it looks almost exactly like a replay you remember seeing. It's pretty well known that Terran have a big advantage on 12, because of the easy to defend expansion.

You know what... I don't even know what the hell I'm talking about (I'm tired and sick), hopfully I got something right... Again I feel really low posting LT... it was a bad idea but maybe someone can post another map, so that we don't have a big LT argument...

On second thought, don't feel you need to criticize, you can give maps praise if you like, since that's what I should have done... regardess I'll let you see this worthless post, hopfully you'll forgive me.

Peace,

That's a lie.

Now when i look back on the hunters/bgh, i suddenly realized how unbalanced those maps are compared to other ones i've seen

Yea those posts were pointless.

LT gamei is my least fav ver because of obvious imbalances.

One of the things i love about this map, is the extended terrain in the mid. It makes for really fun gameplay. I know this isnt the best/ most balanced map, but its quite fun. If you have never played on it, you should.

ADDITION:
EDIT: Pic was messed up, its just the one from the site.

WGTour is the only ladder right now, so it isn't like you have much of a choice...

Yea, i also realized how unbalanced LT is...

What's the difference between Lost Temple Gamei and just normal Lost Temple??

Bah, the discrepancies aren't that extreme. I think it's just the overall structure of the map which is flawed.

Well, maybe not flawed, but some expos, like teal's min only one is easiest to protect, and red's is almost impossible to protect. It's not as balanced as many maps i've seen not made by blizzard.

Whats so unbalanced about it? ( i never play LT)

Some spots have easier expos, others have harder ones.

I hate gamei's 12 nat and 6's expo (min only) terrible mineral placements.

Yea 12 has an easier min expo to protect, but its also farther away from the mains, could be harder to reinforce.
