I heard range 13 is good. Now you guys know where NOT TO place your Zerg tech buildings. And oh, say byebye to 1 gas geyser too.
Lost temple lives! Live long and prosper, this fanboy rage must.
So lets say, with your leet gosu microing skill, you have prevented the bunker rush. The usual flame bait says Hi.
Kerrigan Wrath indeed. I'm liking this map name more and more.
Please feel free to post here of other known hotspots so that we can abuse them or find counters to those abuse.
P.S Guys. You can make a difference. Start whining on the PTR forums now about these potential map imbalances @ http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/1161017/. Let them hear. Let them cower before your rage. Let them know your wrath, Kerrian wrath!

I'd imagine similar to the other maps where imbalances were blatantly obvious, this would be fixed reasonably quickly. I agree though with the difference making, if people don't post like LennX then they won't know (for some reason).
Don't think this won't happen to you other races. That could easily be a refinery / assimilator being sieged on there!
I never played bw competitively but i love watching it recently. Could someone tell me if MSL/OSL have maps with ledges like this and if so do they get abused often or do the pros just rarely let their opponents occupy such a strong position?
The bunker still easily denies a geyser and is tough to surround with any melee unit. SCVs can sit on the other side and lol while repairing it. Good spot for a pylon too imo.
I dont think test 2 will make it out in the current form, you guys should see the close spawns on that map, especially at 10'o clock and 8'o clock positions. The rush distance between the nats are so small, probably even smaller than delta, and once I park my sentry-stalker army in that small nook in the natural, I dont even need force fields to kill infinite zerg stuff, it's just very bad. I felt like I was cheating lol
If you remove close spawns the map becomes a little better, but I think that small opening can be abused in a lot of ways.
No need to get excessively frustrated about these things, it's called a PTR for a reason and most likely things will be tweaked, changed and adjusted before they're live.
But I do agree with posting in the PTR forum with constructive ideas :]
People posted screenshots of the naturals on Shakuras when it was on PTR saying it would never go live like that. (Being able to reach the Hatchery with a Siege Tank on the low ground)
I swear every time a new map hits the PTR, hundreds of people spend hours analysing every tiny corner of the map to find spots where Siege Tanks can reach a Geyser. :P
You can siege the entire mineral line on Metalopolis yet how often do you see it happening?
Encouraging people (who probably haven't even played on the maps yet) to "whine" (read: not mature and logical feedback) about some "potential" issues (which probably won't even occur very frequently) isn't the right approach to balance.

It was actually a tongue in cheek response to the amount of hatred that I found on teamliquid :P
The zerg bias there is is pretty heavy. Maybe I should remember this and re word my topic next time I post here.
And btw I don't think you can squeeze in tanks in your own mineral line to siege the opponent gold unless you drop your tanks behind the mineral line? Thanks for reminding me that I can do that.

I was talking about sieging the main, not the gold bases! And why would you do that when you can just use the Xel'Naga Watchtowers. :P
