I bring you the solution: a map where you practically can't cram into the center, forcing you to micro-create, and it better balances positions 9 and 3 since they can't reach nuclear or tank attacks. It also reduces the number of entrances at positions 12 and 6, like the Korean ones.

A bit more balanced while keeping our map.

The rule wouldn't be necessary with this map.
Map attached.

it would drastically change how certain mus are won. for example, pzvpt would be insanely harder if we are not able to keep the terran in for as long as possible. games would be 6 mins long..

I get people are frustrated with cannons, but they are part of the game and it should not be changed.

Not to mention you are basically eliminating the strat of blocking in pzvpp.. this is a dumb idea no offence, Lucas. You can't just change strats because certain people complain about it.

If you want to make this a rule, then remove the rule that we cannot MC a worker. I'm not saying MCing your partner, but maybe the ability to MC the opponent..

This is exactly why this thread was created. To hear everyone’s thoughts and concerns. Nothing here is set in stone everything is up in the air and under discussion. If any major change were ever to move forward, it would be implemented for one season only as a test, not permanently.

Everyone needs to relax a bit. Change isn’t automatically a bad thing, and discussing it doesn’t mean it’s being forced through.

That said, I do personally agree that mind control should be allowed, and I also agree with the idea of moving to one season using Korean maps only, then alternating seasons accordingly.

The feedback about specific matchups, pacing, and strategies like blocking in PvZ/PvP is valid, and that’s exactly why we’re having this conversation before anything happens. No strategy is being “eliminated” without careful consideration, and frustration alone isn’t driving decisions - balance, competitiveness, and long-term health of SCW are.

This is precisely what would 'shake up' the meta and allow new strategies to emerge.

Appreciate everyone sharing their perspectives.

On such an imbalanced map you cant make rules like that. These kinds of rules can only work on the korea map which is a bit more balanced. Also they only play mirror m/u its because otherwise shit will be imbalanced af cuz of these rules.. On scw map playing mirrors is clearly not an option.
That rule would definitely ruin the gameplay. I cant believe you guys really think this is a good idea… RIP League.
