what is this i don't even

Seriously, i very highly doubt this has any chance of working. There are some other problems besides the obvious asymmetry as well, most notably the extremely narrow chokes and the naturals being attackable from the low ground.

There are a lot of problems with a map like this, and this needs re-working if you want to make it legit.

For instance, the way spawns work, there are massive imbalances depending on where you and you oponent spawn, there a re few paths through the centre that aren't massive chocks, etc.

@ NewSunshine -- Nice reference, but no everything was copy and pasted perfectly.

@ -NegativeZero- -- The asymmetry is not a "problem", though there may be and most likely are "problems" with the map. I would imagine certain race/starting position combinations are better than others and would be quite interested to see how the numbers would turn out. But if the concept is not put out there, it will not be tested and critiqued. I'm not interested in statements like "this problably won't work" -- I'm looking for analysis, not conclusions.

@ iHiro -- haha, nice.

@ ihasaKAROT -- I am to please.

@ DYEAlabaster -- Again, analysis. If you don't have the time to detail your concerns, I don't have the time to take you seriously (especially with your history in this forum). If you take a step back, you will realize that essenitally, I have created a center-less map. While there is a phsycial center, the starting positions somewhat decide where the gravititation center of the map lies. While this may or may not wind up being fatally problematic, I went there. And just to help you re-read the OP, this is a submission to the ProAm tournament -- it's supposed to be reworked.

@ Sea_Food -- Should have read the blurb before looking at the map image. :/ I tried to prepare you... hopefully lefix will make it look pretty. XD

That is going to be absolute hell to balance. I don't even think it's possible, sorry.

If you're going to make asymmetrical maps, I recommend at least making them more interesting than just not rotating some of the corners. If your map is confusing to look at, it will be confusing to play and players won't enjoy it at all. Your #1 goal should be to make it as coherent as possible - Aesthetics, placement, proportions, distances, etc should all make sense - even if they're not symmetrical. The map, like NewSunshine said, really does look like a "glitch in the matrix."

Also... the "pros" aren't doing all of the aesthetics for the maps in the pro/am are they?

It's an interesting concept executed poorly.

I'm not saying that a "repetitively symmetrical" map can't work, only that this map won't work. It's small, it's full of chokes, and for some reason littered with destructible rocks. There's also a whole lot of open airspace, which is not necessarily bad, and possibly unavoidable, but still probably not good. Also it's ugly.

You should make every corner a different tileset and

rename this map "The Andy Warhol"

I think the pros are allowed to pick any map they want, and work that map as much as they want.

@ prodiG -- Had I the time to sink into actually creating this map (or any of my recent maps), I would have made it look more appealing, and thus easier to read and understand. I might have even been able to modify some of the proportions such that they would work a little bit better. I still may do that, even if the map isn't choosen. But as for this contest, I had pretty much 24 hours to work on three maps, and I wound up only really getting to two of my "new" ideas. Believe me, if this map is chosen, the I wouldn't make the Pro do *all* the work -- I'll definately want to collaborate in making this better. On the other hand, I welcome the aesthetical expertise any of them have to offer. My #1 goal on what essentially is a first draft is not the aesthetics, it's the layout concept.

I think Mullet_Ben sums it up conscisely:


It's an interesting concept executed poorly.


Again, that's why it is hoping to see pro hands help to execute it well.
