You've definitely improved in creating melee-maps, although there are still a few flaws.

One thing you must pay attention to are the drops.
A level 8 item for a level 10 creep camp is way too good, you should heavily decrease that drop (level 8 items are the best items... you don't give them to a creep camp that's barely even orange).
You haven't got a single charged item in the map, it's all permanent, permanent, permanent and occasionally a tome.
Too much permanent items are really not good, there's a max amount of slots and charged items can be a great advantage in battles.

The terrain is a great improvement (you can thank Wanza for that ) and since it's symmetrical, there's no balancing problem.
The only thing I suggest is that you make all corners like the upper right one, since in all other corners the creeps are too close to each other.

Yeah they are pretty close to each other. Il try to redo those spots with more room, or change the side they are facing.

 

[light bolt30]

The terrain is quite balanced with the even placement of trees all over the map therefore there is no disadvantage for anyone. Pretty much everything on the map is symmetrical except for a few areas which may be different to others in a way.

I have a question, does Blizzard count the scores when players play on custom made ladder melee maps?

No, they don't.
This is because custom melee maps aren't always as good (balanced) as the ones they made themselves.
So if custom melee maps would count, then you could drastically increase your win/loss rate with imbalanced maps.

I do believe that some maps get chosen to be official melee maps, but I don't think they do that anymore... (Does blizz still check wc3?)

Looks pretty decent, but it's a bit too much of a basic melee map.

Might I suggest removing the raised ground between the bases? That might make the game more interesting.

 

[Eldubs]

That would ruin it, but i can make a different version with lovering it.

Edit: My most downloaded map. Everyone thanks for the past and current feedback and downloads!

nice work, 5/5

They almost forgot wc3 I guess XD

It would ruin it as a competitive melee map yes, but do you care?

 

[Eldubs]

I still dont like the idea, and yes i do care because this is my map.

Fair enough

looks good, but with a air army you can easily destroy your enemies camps and retreat to your own.
