Please Please Can we do something about the Map Pool in ALL Team Ranked & 1v1 matches . So many Blizzard made maps that are Great and better . 1 of 2 things need to happen , Either have a consistent automated Map Pool swap every season or set time . Or open up the amount of maps that can be randomly selected , the same Maps over and over for months is pathetic and ridiculous . Makes No sense , put someone who gives a sh**to take over this simple logistic duty PLEASE

be glad its only been a few months for you, prior to the last team map pool change, we had to wait over two years before they finally listened and changed them out and made a few new ones.
Made new Ones ? there is already Hundreds Blizzard made maps , why Can’t they either commit to a schedule consistent pool change for all VS , or just open up the map pool to include 20+ Maps per VS match . has to be the most illogical , pathetic thing ive seen in any Multiplayer game
problem with a scheduled rotate of pre existing maps is that youd be getting maps from wol and hots, instead of just lotv, and the maps from those eras were terrible for what we have now, as they did that when they first changed up the map pool finally for us. They threw a couple really old maps in and they were bad. Luckily for us they updated them again the next map pool rotation and got them out. they also expanded the map pool the last time they did it from 7 to 9 with another veto i think.

Blizzard’s own maps are looked upon pretty poorly. They were relying on the TeamLiquid Map Contest long before game development was halted. The Blizzard logo next to the maps just means that they approved them and maybe touched them up a little.
Going forward, TeamLiquid will be handling the map pools and they’ve made some posts on Reddit and their own forums about what can be expected going forward. Meanwhile, StarCraft Remastered is mostly just copying the ASL map pools with a couple popular maps thrown in.
The system of map picking is, and always was the big problem, regarding the terrible map pool that SC2 almost always had!
It is basically, a small private club, that they just ultimately pick the final map pools (The process is a little bit more complex, but the concept is basically just this), sometimes, there were even good maps that were not even choosen, or many many maps that community could offer, but their maps will never be even on the table!
The myth that the “Community decides the map pool”, even after 15 years, people still believe that, is just insane to me!
