This is an interesting hero addition to the melee list. However, the fact they are using some language I don't understand truly disturbs me ...

Iron Maiden: As per melee standard, her ability to knock enemy is quite unordinary and can be messy during combat. Having two passives makes her less tedious to micro but less interesting to play with. Usually, melee heroes have 2 active + ultimate + 1 passive or 3 active + ultimate, which makes them quite active and fun to go with. Her third is quite powerful, and if not for Golems being immune, this passive can be deadly. Her first is a broken form of chain lightning.

Golden Saint: Same problem as Iron Maiden in ability kit having 2 passives. Aside from that, I found that Golden Saint first skill is quite deadly to a degree, but not too powerful that it gets broken (though probably because I choose her second, wonder if I pick her first). I failed to notice her third is melee unit exclusive, so that's a bummer to my Gryphon strategy (yes, I am a fanatic Griffins Airstrike).

Huntress Raider: This is interesting, however, I presume there are some aesthetic bugs that render her spell projectiles (second and ultimate) being unseen thus making it harder to realize what's going on. Her first is unreliable due to her being a ranged hero. I prefer to have her first spell changed into something that can be used from a safe range.

Anyway, I do make another video, but it is not a full run like last time since I got some errands at home out of the blue. It should be up in 24 hours from this post, if everything goes well. Not the most reliable connection I have for uploading.

Thanks for your opinion, I have changed certain things about those 3 heroines, regarding the vigorous aura of Golden Saint I did it thinking of melee units, since in the standard game there is Trueshot Aura that is exclusively for distance units, it was for that which believes it.
In the case of Huntress Rider, because I wanted to use all its animations, now I have increased the launch range.
Giving 2 passives to some heroes was because I wanted to give ease to some since not all of us can use all the abilities available in a hero, I mean from experience, I hope your opinion.

Thanks for the consideration.

About the two passives, I would like to hear other people's opinions before making conclusions. Personally, I am against it, but that's just one voice when compared to many. The reasoning is having 2 passives make heroes less needed for management during combat, which can be a bummer. This also comes to how to make hero abilities more reliably useful because active spells are under the control of the player on how they are being used.

From the desciption it seems clear that this not a "melee" map, but an "altered melee". On the hive, "melee" refers to unchanged wc3 gameplay, as in the battle net ladder. Therefore tags changed from "melee" to "altered melee".

Please do not upload multiple files but the latest version unless the versions are very different, say one is for 24 players and the other for 12 or something.

A credits list in the map description with the names of the authors whose resources you've used is mandatory. That includes models, skins, icons, custom spells, systems. Also, sounds, music and everything outside this site.
This helps you with the models, skins and icons from Hiveworkshop: Resources in Use by Sky Safari Ver.1.3 | HIVE

What I can read from the description seem rather like meager changes.
You might want to familiarize yourself more with altered melee:
How to: Create a Full-working Custom Race
Custom Race Creation: Advanced Mechanics
Ultimate Battle v2.30d
Deforestation of Felwood v2.1.1
Nightborne v1.05B
Planetary Domination v2.04
Sands of Time [v1.9]
The Grand Citadel (Racial Issue 1.6)

Awaiting Update.
