Honestly, I dont know where to start criticism.
I appreciate the effort, but the map shows that you didn't really know what you were doing.
Before fixing the map, or beginning a new one (if youre going to do either) read this guide to map-making.
Its not as long as it looks and you will learn alot.

Sorry crybaby.gif I am new to the melee stuff

ADDITION:
Yeah I noticed the mess up on how close P2 and P3 are

By the way I cant make anything symmetrical unless it takes up all my spare time in a month.

It doesnt have to be semetrical you just gotta make the bases all the same sizes and make it balanced

Also, I looked at that tutorial but as usual I only looked at the pics wallbash.gif

Every player has to have to exact same opportunities as every other player. As far as I'm concerned, maps like Rush Hour might as well be symetrical. It is impossible to balance a map in which players do not have all the same options.

Meh for me I just find symetrical maps look unreal, hence I make nnon-symetrical maps

You can make non-symmetrical maps, but if you make more of these you'll be making more non-playable maps as well.

Take it from someone who plays melee: Imbalanced maps aren't fun to play.

When you make a map in which players do not all have the same opportunities, you're basically doing this:

Lakai, put one to two hours effort into basic symmetry and eveness and you can do a map thats 128*128. If you start off symmetrical its hard to screw up.

Just forget this map... It was my first melee map

But can't you say that you liked my doodading and terraining or something nice?!

Read what people tell you, yes I said that earlier. Thats part of your problem that I already mentioned to you.

Yes I know but this was my first melee map...it had more effort put into doodads than anything.

Its very bad. But its better than my first melee attempt. Go check out my contest map if you need some material to look at. Im not really good at making melee maps, but i gave that one my best shot so far. Keep at it.

Um. It was a good effort. Can't say I really liked the doodading or terraining. It's kinda ugly IMO. If you want to see good looking maps, look at BroodWarMaps.net, especially their MOTW maps.

And don't take tips from leon's maps. They aren't much better.
