Are some maps just imbalanced where you can only have ling tight walls in certain positions and you have to adjust your strat accordingly?

This is a nice wall tho you can depot barrack cc wall and its ling tight, and he tries run-by the gas is in a perfect position to use SCVs to drill:

It's possible, just not in the traditional sense of 1~2 depot + rax.

All types of buildable terrains are wallable if the edge can be shut tight.

Having said that, I can make a ling tight wall with 3 depot + rax and 2 depot + rax + turret that covers the natural.

I have the screenshots on my comp; if someone gives me a really easy link to upload pics I'll upload them!

EDIT: Also, it's really easy with 1 rax + 1 fact, if your build involves facts.

EDIT again : You can even do it with 1 bunker and 2 depots. You lose the ability to go out yourself conveniently (you could probably load/unload your infantry), but it's the cheapest wall. If I sense an early ling allin I might use this so that my marines can pop out safe in my base (since raxwalls here would make marines pop out...but let me see if I can fix this).

Final EDIT: OK, so you can make a ling tight wall with 3 depots and 1 rax that has the marine pop inside. The only thing to be careful of is that one ling can touch the marine although it can't pass through. As long as you move your marines away you should be 100% secure.

I guess my point through these edits is that learn the basics of walling and you can wall any territory you want using your creativity (as long as edges are securable that is).
