There's no denying this map is very punishing for mistakes in PvP. It can be dealt with by playing very carefully and doing builds that make sure you end up in control of your natural expansion so stuff like that doesn't happen, but for those who opt for more passive builds and get caught off guard by something like a well-hidden 4gate... I predict a lot of salt from those guys. PvP is such a volatile matchup that adaptability to both the map and your opponent is absolutely necessary and this map is no exception to that. Glad you feel that way. So often mappers remove anything that could be abused in the least, things that aren't really bad but only punish poor players, but add entertainment value as well. I think this is well inside the boundaries of balance, at least by today's understanding of the game. I think it makes sense to push it as far as possible and not be conservative in map making at this point. | ||

This is just aesthetics, but have you considered using a doodad wall with the same cliff level instead of a narrow cliff drop? + Show Spoiler [like this] + you have it this way. suggestion. I thought about it but I decided to keep it very clear to the player and I couldn't think of any doodads that I really wanted ot use in a situation like that. I felt like the majority of the applicable choices would stray too far from the original aesthetic concept, as well as projectiles looking strange as they clip through whatever doodad I'd place there to hit their target on the other side. One of my major aesthetic goals with this map was to keep things relatively simple as it was designed originally for the TLMC with it's blizzard-looking restriction. This v1.1 update I actually lined up back in late November and just got around to finishing now. | ||

Hard to see how much pathable area is between the geyser and the doodads, too, and some distances like that are important. You could also do low ground but make it in organic cliffs and make it look like a crack, which might look good. | ||
