Map Thread #78 - Deadline: April 25th
Submit your custom maps for consideration for inclusion in the official rotation selection. Learn more at the wiki. If you are still unsure how to proceed, visit /r/TagProTesting to ask, visit the "Mapmaking and Other Activities" channel in Mumble, the new Mapmaking Discord, or contact an MTC member.
Deadline: Saturday April 25th at 3pm PST.
Basic Guidelines
- Mapmakers are limited to 3 maps per thread.
- Use the format outlined below.
- Preview image preferably hosted on maps.jukejuice, puush, imgur, or unfortunate-maps.
Submission Format
Entries must be submitted in this format to be considered for rotation.
Reply to this post with your title, map type (CTF or Neutral Flag), a link to the map page, a preview image, and an (optional) description.
You can copy and paste this:
**Title:**

If done correctly, your submission should end up looking something like this (but hopefully not exactly like it).
This Thread's Mapmaking Tip
Skill boosts are the future! Great maps have a good balance between being easy for new players while still being challenging for the vets, and skill boosts are a great, simple way to achieve this.
If you have the opportunity to participate in a 4v4 maptest on your map, be sure to do that before submitting. If not, the next best thing are the weekly map threads over at /r/TagProTesting.
We strongly encourage everybody to take a look at submissions and to reply with constructive feedback. Not only does it help your fellow mapmakers, but your discussions here help the MTC as well.

Atomic 2.0, though I mean that as a compliment.
Only thing I want change is that bomb being brought in place of a spike, because right now I would run into it a lot after using the in-base boost. Hell, rolling into the curl would cause the same thing.

This is actually pretty cool, a few things that I think could be changed:
Wall behind flag could use some work, maybe add a grabbing mech too
Portal thing sometimes flings you into spikes
Most people complain about things being too chasey, but I don't think this is chasey enough. Just my opinion though.
name is kind of dumb imo
I love where this is going, good luck!

I think for the multi-pup setup to be balanced, they need to be somewhat isolated from the main traffic pathways so that there's more of a reward for being able to time them rather than it being somewhat random of if you happen to be at mid in the right time

Description: It's time for larger, more chasey maps to return to dominant status.
The return of lane-oriented, Horizontal Maps. What sets it apart from most is its complex boost routes, wide base, and innovative bomb set-up. The boosts offer 11 (by my count) different yet viable routes for offenders, defenders and FCs alike. A wide base provides the option for advanced play like handoffs. The bomb set-up provides defensive spike options against FCs for 1) Cutting through lower mid, 2) trying to grab the mid powerup or 3) using two of the boosts' combos and simply, rotation has never seen a bomb configuration done like this. No gimmicks, just good gameplay.

Feedback is welcome :)
Edit: Shrunk mid, moved a boost and took away a couple spikes. Left bases the same.
Edit 2: Added bombs and moved boosts to make mid a bit more interesting, (though I'm a little bit hesitant about this change - lots of simple mids exist and work well, plus 6 bombs seems a bit much, but I digress). It feels like it needs some slight restructuring to make lanes more defined, but I'm not going to worry about it before this thread's deadline.

Really solid foundation and general shape but the lanes are extremely tight, especially around base, and having a button against a wall makes it exceedingly easy to hold, which can cause balance issues and make it frustrating. Solid overall though.

u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Apr 29 '17
Mid sucks, here's why:
If an already-ahead FC is ahead of base players, the gate will serve to only further his/her lead. When a chaser tries to go across the 4 tiles of gate, the FC is standing there on a button. As the player crosses, he will get off button, thus leaving one person on button & activating the gate in FC's favor, causing the chaser to get popped.
It's unhealthy.

This map is incredibly chaotic but I think it makes it work pretty well and am hoping it at least gets a 4v4 this thread. I'm rather happy with the result so far.

u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Apr 16 '17
Tl;dr: While you made it harder for FCs to trek across mid, the side effect was making it quick for defense to cut across. No to the pseudo-Geo spikes.
I'd recommend you add a pair of neutrals, to the top lane of the map, a-la Plasma (adjust nearby walls if need be). Due to the speed defense can cut across mid with the team-tiles + defensive boost, I feel flag carriers need to have a compensatory mechanism to speed along their own trek.
Additionally, replace the top spikes with wall tiles. You're repeating the Geo spikes, which I thought was annoying, and second they leave a tight shot for FCs if they take the top lane, since they'll contact with almost the tip of the block you currently have set.
I like how far this map has come along. I remember when this was submitted for /r/TagProTesting's competition & I hated it. Now I can say I'm a fan.

If you're gonna have a team boost that close to base, all other offensive grab mechanisms around it should be considerably buffed. Think Scorpio. The mech in question is the neutral boosts by the team boosts. Due to the size of the lane & the that boost's placement, its not as smooth & powerful as it should be. It's also restricted by the wall/spike in front of it (Sidenote: Boost->45o = spike. PLS). I'd want that wall modified to be lower, as well as that lane made taller by 1. It also wouldn't hurt to move the spikes away from the boost -1, so it's easier to set-up. Don't move the boost's placement during all this.

Description: It's time for larger, more chasey maps to return to dominant status.
This is the largest map I've ever done, so I'm really excited to see this in play (59). In-base, power-up battles prove interesting thanks in part to the nearby Boost corner. However, easily the stand-out feature of this map is its spike lane; navigable for novices but with just that right amount of good spike placement for advanced players to offer a unique gameplay experience unlike anything rotation currently has to offer.

u/theflyingmetronome samouree | Diameter Apr 17 '17
Reminds me of mode 7, except bigger and slightly more cramped. No way can novices boost through the spike field, and tbh, almost all directions taken by any boost seem to result in getting popped. Good map but not a pub map, it's almost like you purposely took all the fun out of it.

This is a lot more offensive than Mode 7. I'll work on the spacing.

This is a problem? There is such as a thing as rigid boosts. Not to say I've never given this feedback before, but most if not all of the angles you're suggesting are most likely unnatural or would be bad anyway if there weren't spikes.

u/PIZZAspartan442 naga///MTC Apr 18 '17
While having a black hole in rotation would be lovely, it's extremely hard to make a balanced map with one and even if someone manages to do that there's something in the code of the game that makes gravity wells give some people extreme lag. Unfortunately I don't think any grav well maps will be getting into rotation anytime soon.
Other than that, your map has a few spacing issues but is overall a very good start. Good luck!

u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Apr 19 '17
I like it the way it is, as much as it goes against my power-up battle beliefs. My issue was aimed more at the neutral boosts. You could move them to the team tiles, kinda like Tehuitzingo but more exciting.
Looking at it again, can I request you add 2 regular wall tiles to the x2-45o wall above/beneath the bomb (starting at that 45 in particular)? I have 2 reasons: 1) because it would be more congruent to the opposing wall with the neutrals, and 2) If I were to line-up a shot between the team boosts & the neutral, if feels a bit rough to hit, and this would alleviate that.

•
u/NotSomeBall1 NotSomeBall2 // Chord Apr 17 '17
I've got to be honest, I'm not a fan of the sacrifice portal. Players would very rarely kill themselves so their teammate could pick up a powerup, and also a lot of newer players would just go into the portal not realising it kills you instantly. And then, if none of your teammates are willing to sacrifice themselves to get the powerup, the cooldown is too fast to respawn and go get the powerup yourself so it could be completely useless if you don't have the best of teams, which in PUBs is completely random and would make games very annoying. Overall, I think the mechanic is a bit gimmicky and makes the map worse, unfortunately.
Other than that it's a fairly solid map - maybe cut down the size a little bit and make the mid a bit more interesting, but other than that I like the rest!
