Cool cool. I strongly disagree with some on here, but glad to see Vaani is getting recognized as it should have been in TLMC (and that infernal is the best super map, not noah's or winding),

This. Still hope it makes onto ladder some day. Don't have any objections to any of the others either, they range from pretty cool to fucking outstanding.

Meavis gave a 7 to Terraform while he committed TL suicide because of it being a TLMC finalist? Oo

Great initiative. The fact that EVERY map is being rated, even if it is just a quantifyable score is extremely helpful. Gives you a good idea of how the maps measure up to the competition and hopefully will show you how you get better as a map maker over time. Props to Meavis for starting this thing!

as quoted from the skype group
Terraform was relatively worse in the period of TLMC, there were many maps I would've ranked 7,5-8,5 at that time, which is why I thought of terraform to be a bad pick for tlmc.

also include that tlmc is for ladder, terraform is an interesting map but I also think it has some balance issues that don't belong on a WCS map (blizz pls seperate pro and casual pool already)

So brave neg, but even better, if anyone wants feedback on his maps about specific things post on the thread, I'll try to take the time to respond, beware that I may not be able to, because it takes a crapload of time to correctly judge and write the thoughts regarding a specific map.

But yeah, if anyone wants feedback about specific things post here, that way other guys can read the comments and learn stuff.

I can tell you guys if you did something standard that didn't really inspire me, if it was also ugly then it was at most a 4. Raw numbers are shit for seeing how you improve or what you're doing wrong tho~

my ratings are mostly based on the following, in order of most to least important.
1. Technical complicity, knowing exactly how every feature attrtibutes to the game and puzzling a well designed map together.
2. Balance, as almost all games are played on ladder, and thus WCS, I'm rating maps as if they were to be played on in the WCS, some minor imbalances can be overlooked but if it's obvious expect a lower than usual rating.
3. Gameplay, this sort of originates out of the previous to, but no matter how good a map is, if it lacks what imo makes for exciting features (think of having the map involve your decisions), I will give a lower than usual rating

as for your maps rukis, there's some problems with proportions, mainly related to beginner excitement and trying to stuff interesting features in and forgetting the large picture, and I recommend you try to make a good solid map before trying innovating stuff.
the colleseum port was okay, but the map just has massive rotational imbalance.

Couldn't find Xel'Naga Vespene Matrix on the all maps March-June list. Not too worried about it, though, pretty sure it wouldn't have gotten a top spot anyway. Wouldn't mind some feedback though from whatever judges want to give it. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-maps/483217-2-xelnaga-vespene-matrix

I wonder if this contest could benefit from some standard ranking point system for all judges. Something like 0-4 for balance, 0-4 for design/originality, 0-2 for aesthetics (just as an example). Or each judge making their own specific 0-10 point system depending on what's more important to each judge personally (say one judge is a little bigger on design and aesthetics than pure balance, they could have 3.5 for design, 3.5 for aesthetics, and 3 for balance).
