EDIT: **Bad news, I realized that for it to function like a normal ramp that it would need to be changed. It looks worse now!**

Would this be too crappy for anyone to play on? This was made in stareforge.

I bet that would be alright. Isn't is possible to smooth it out with sprites anyways? (Or whatever its called, I read it somewhere)

I don't want to make the map less playable (taking up the sprite limit) in order to make it prettier, but I am sure you are right. I don't know anything about what I am doing.

I wish blizzard would just add these in, it would make it so much easier to make fair maps.

A ramp that goes the other way. All ramps have to go south, but this goes north.

Are those considered sprites? You don't want to use up sprites in the map, do you? I just started today. >.<

for some reason the thread title made me think of 'backward boobs'...

anyway, backward ramps would really fix some (break some?) base layouts, pretty much on all maps. i like.

ramp direction is just sometrhing you have to take into account. Only in very particular situations the ramp direction limitations are a pain in the ass.

Yeah, only very particular situations, like ANY AND ALL MAPS THAT HAVE A RAMP?

You have no idea how frustrating this ridiculous omittance by Blizzard can be as a map-maker, it is always a pain in the ass. Entire map concepts are just thrown away because Blizzard didn't give us northeast- and northwest-facing ramps.

All you need to do is keep the ramp issue in mind when youre designing a map and you can usually work around it. I've only once had to throw away an idea because the ramps didn't allow for it, out of all of the maps i have made

This looks interesting.

Would this be compatible and playable on bnet?

you can always do what the map maker did on Requiem if you need a north facing ramp - switch the low ground and high ground.

edit: you could also just not use ramps, and have it all the same level ground, and just put an opening there instead of a ramp.

yeah, you could do all of that....

but then you'd realize the changes imposed by switching lowground/highground is monumentally greater than any minor balance issue you'd solve by having a north facing ramp, making your point not a point at all, but just a retarded statement?
