If Blizzard removes multiple maps…and will be using 1 same map for any game forever like DoTA2 and LoL one map, which map do you think it would suitable to be the face of HoTS?
Hard Mode: You can’t choose Cursed Hollow.

This is the worst idea what I saw in forums.
The one of reasons why I play HotS because it has multiple maps.
And you want remove one of features.
Brilliant!

It’s most likely just the question “which map is the best one” worded out a bit weird

BHB or Mines. Because why not, lets be a bit masochistic.

I think warhead junction is my best one so I’ll say that.
All maps are the face of HotS because HotS world is a simulated simulation. The maps and the Heroes are, in the lore of the game, simulations of the realities of the original games.
The “map” is the Nexus.
It’s like the dream world IRL. Two humans can be sleeping at the same time and they can meet in the dream realm and interact with each other like if they were “online” and streaming virtual reality of themselves.
The Nexus is very big and it is one map, but you can’t see the whole map. It’s like asking what zone of World of Warcraft is the one and stuff.
You are very small, like ants that can’t see you if you wave your hand over them. You could zoom out more and control 10 heroes as if it was Starcraft instead of controlling just 1 Hero.
I think that it’s better to have ideas that go beyond ourselves and our realities and our perception, that way things can happen.
I don’t think it’s good to think with our minds because we would be trapped forever in our world.
See yourself from above, you are there too. Don’t just think with your eyes. Think with your mind, not with your shoes.
Garden of failure and alterac failure are far worse
Garden of Terror 2.0 because it would epitomize the multitude of bad decisions that killed this game.
oof
my choice is… dragon shire. i really like vehicle objectives, but i’m not a fan of volskaya’s aesthetic

Tomb of the Spider Queen or Sky Temple hands down.

Probably Sky Temple, as it has a good blend of objectives, laning, and HotS version of jungling. In addition, the solo temple phases encourage team fighting, while the split temple phases encourage smart allocation of resources. Most importantly, it is one of the few maps where you can use very different comps and strategies to win, you aren’t almost forced to use something meta to stand a good chance. Most of the hero pool does well on that map, including the unique heroes like TLV and Murky.
My second choice would be Towers of Doom for similar reasons.

Lets also remove team XP and unfair heroes that confuse enemies (TLV, tassadar, all stealthies, abathur, samuro,)
Terrible idea but i like the concept so i’ll give it a go.
For starters: whats something all moba maps have?
- A large map size
- Lots of Mercenary Camps
- Bosses
- No objectives beyond the map itself (oops)
- A parting straight down the middle of the map.
Given these options, we can remove all small maps and several medium maps. We can also remove 2 lane maps.
Goodbye Tomb, Volskaya, BoE, Haunted Mines 2.0 and 1.0, Braxis, Hanamura, ToD(core cant be attacked).
Now the remaining maps are
Cursed hallow, dragon shire, gardens of terror infernal shrines, Warhead junction.
Another requirement was a part in the middle of the map. This removes
Garden of terror (to much mid terrain) (gonna let CH stay here)
Next up is 2 bosses of some type
dragon shire, infernal shrines, see yourselves out.
That leaves us with
Warhead and Hallow.
Challenge mode: Cursed hallow is gone.
BUT unfortunately, warhead’s objective can’t be ignored. which means the only viable map is…
Silver city… 3 times, with no regen in jungle, and you can hearth as normal.
But yeah Warhead is challenge mode or CH in easy mode. they are both the most moba like maps so if we wanted to make this game less unique those two are the way to go

Uh… Sky Temple meets all of your criteria… Also Dragon Shire and Tomb are about the same size.
sky temple only has 1 boss.
Dragon shire is larger then tomb but they are both removed anyways
