I made a 2v2 map.


[image loading]

2v2
160 x 160
16 regular bases
2 gold bases

EU | NA | KR


Close spawns are allies. The rock towers can be collapsed from the low ground without vision.

I love proper 2v2 maps! And I like ur idea here. The only thing that worries me is that if a team with at least one Terran was to rush early, they can build raxes and lift them to the other side so we have 2v1 situation due to the rocks.

I'm only a very occasional 2v2 player but I like what you did there. Looks like there's been an actual thought process behind the map, unlike for most 2v2 maps.

This is a fine layout, but looks weak concerning cheeses due to the short air space between allies and the small rush distance.

I got some feedback on Reddit and talked to some people and watched some VODs and I'm really not sure how to proceed with this map in regards to super early 2v1 aggression. The biggest concern is TZ with T floating Barracks over to produce Reapers, but there are other 2v1 situations possible as well (e.g. involving P warping in across the middle). Unfortunately I have close to zero experience with 2v2 so this is all pure theorycrafting on my part.

Obviously, combining the bases would be the safest option but also the most boring one. I would assume that 2v1 isn't as big an issue here as e.g. on Resupply Tanker since the fourth player isn't threatened at all by early aggression, but this is just me guessing since I really don't know shit about 2v2 where everything seems to be different than 1v1.

Trying to get your map on the next 2v2 tournament to see how it plays out would be my vote.

Really I think the map would be fine without the rocks separating the naturals. Would lessen the effect of 2v1, while still leaving the bases farther apart than many 2v2 maps, making Warp-Ins and floating buildings into a partner's base still possibly better while allowing Zerg to help defend more.

It would actually amplify the effect of 2v1 since the attackers could then easily join up forces with the defenders still unable to help each other in the very early game. See Resupply Tanker for an example why this won't work.

I don't consider there is a need to fusion both mains completely, even tho i'll be the first to say that not as experienced on 2v2 as i'm on 1v1, i think that just adding a small terrain bridge between both mains would fix for the most part the issues you are facing.

Meavis almost got his 2v2 map played on BaseTradeTV's 2v2 tourney by just asking in the LR (it would have been played if not for a bug finding the map) so it's definitely possible, unlike with 1v1 maps.

I can tell u, if this map was to be in the ladder pool for 2v2s, then u would get to see a lot of this 2v1 situation and thus would be all about destroying those natural rocks as soon as possible. And if there is a map element that u wanna get rid of asap when the game starts, then guess if it's good or not. At this point I have to say that these natural rocks are a great idea and I'd try to keep them, if u can somehow link the bases otherwise preserving ur original idea while preventing 2v1s.

I am not sure if a few tournament matches would reveal that certain 2v1 behavior. But I guess that's better than nothing.

This is actually what I had in mind, just a small connection near the map edge to still preserve some of the split map effect. Here's a mockup:

Not sure about cannon rushes though, maybe I'll have to make it larger.


By the way, are unbuildable bricks still necessary with the mains combined? Or generally in 2v2?

While people will complain about 2v1, which is the obvious imperative on this map, the correct response from the team under attack should be to counter against the aggressive player who is lending support (and is therefore scanty on defense). Obviously walloffs can make this harder but that's part of the metagame of the map, e.g. zerg should open speed & banes in all circumstances in order to punish their opponent if they go for "other side" plays, or to force them to stay home and prevent the 2v1 from occurring. Indirectly they are affecting the 2v1 even though their units can't physically interact with the "other side" opponent.

In any case, the design will only ever be highly unstable and rush based without a connection between the mains. I think the best solution would be to have a narrow connection like you've shown. Maybe not quite that narrow, more like 4-6 squares, possibly including a rock tower that could be collapsed to split the defending allies.

^How about a rock tower that can be destroyed from the low-ground to cover the path between the allies?

maybe a set of rocks that separates the two mains? maybe that would help a lot with defense. but yes, this map is very brood war esque in super high unstable gameplay and very base tradey and understanding of how to take objectives together.

That would have the exact same problems with very early aggression as completely separate mains.

I quite like this idea. It would make it much easier for the defenders to defend both ramps initially since that path would be close to the naturals so the distance between the ramps for the defenders is very short, however it would preserve the split-map effect in a quite unique way. I generally dislike rock towers but this is a really cool idea and unless I can find any problems with it I'll probably do just that.


Edit: Implemented the collapsible rock towers, updated OP. Also removed the unbuildable rocks.
