Update: Please note that the latest information about 1vs1 Ladder Map Changes can be found here: http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/3194764/
The transition between ladder seasons is generally a time when we take the opportunity to make adjustments to the ladder map pool. In Season 4 we will be removing the following maps from the 2v2 map pool: (4)Khaydarin Depths (8)Tempest They will be replaced with the following maps: (4)Lunar Colony V (8)Magma Core We have chosen to remove Khaydarin Depths and Tempest from the 2v2 ladder pool because expanding can be a challenge for certain team compositions on these maps, and they aren’t as balanced as we would prefer for other team compositions. We also wanted to focus on maps that start 2v2 teammates closer together at the beginning of a match. Lunar Colony and Magma Core are maps that should address these issues. |

Ridiculous, the maps in the current map pool are uninspired and often imbalanced map.
The only reason I was excited for a shorter season was that we'd get new maps. Last 2 weeks almost no one in my league has played a single game, at least change the lockdown system, it's really annoying. Edit: Blizzard, do you care to explain why you wont wont change the map pool? |

I agree that most of the current 1v1 maps are bad, I always find myself at least 1-2 vetoes short. I was actually convinced there would be new maps every season.
Also, I think the Blizzard map pool additions are one of the reasons a lot of people stop playing ladder after 2 weeks, not some weird idea of bonus pool being important; at least that was my reason to stop every season. |

Cant wait to see new maps soon, hope you guys will be quick!
1 more veto would be nice though. |

What's the point of this new season if no new maps?
Why you change 2v2, when 1v1 is the most important? Why you don't remove broken maps from map pool? Why don't you add good (not made by Blizzard) maps to the ladder pool? Is all the team working on Hots so noone cares about sc2 anymore or what? |

This is kind of suprising to see that there are no new maps coming, however on the other hand I could understand that because of the shorter ladder seasons. Hopefully we might see some newer maps later on.
But as others said: I would like an explanation: why? what is the thinking behind this? |

Such a looser. No1 need new maps. U r an idiot

Yeah for me at least it just feels like there isen't really a plan in regards to ladder maps, some how they reached forth with the adition of the GSL map, but they havent taken it any further than taldarim, this was deffinently a step in the right direction from my pov but, it feels like they kind of went back on that a little bit,
I Really wouldent mind, seeing 2 new match each season (each 2'nd month) have it be an old map reballanced, a new map, an integrated GSL map or somethign like that, and than just rotating a bit. It would be lovely to hear what blizzards actual plan is in regards to maps sometimes its easier for the community to accept and get behind these deccisions if we knew what the thought proces / reasoning was for the decisions, at least tats how i feel :-) |

Look blizzard, SC2 is what it is because of 1v1, and 2v2 is only a small part of it (one can win some money with 2v2, but I think the highest is the team prodigy star league with a pool of 1500, which is basically nothing.
As to what should be done, in 1v1, you should remove Searing Crater. I once wrote a thread about removing it, and ironically it dropped down because basically everyone just agreed and it was done. Seriously, that map is just begging terrans to go for siege tanks, and then just set up shop behind that cliff and happily shell the natural. Seriously, how is that not a map that should be removed ASAP? |
-,- They just said that there wont be new maps. No, they said there won't be more 1v1 maps. The poster above you could've easily been referring to Lunar Colony and Magma Core (y'know, the new maps). (4)Lunar Colony V |

While I share the community's disappointment both with the current map pool as well as this decision to keep it as it is (awful), I will gladly forgive it if it means all the important resources are pulled off to make HotS as good as possible.
On the other hand, if good old slacking's the reason, well then... shame on you. |
