Back in June, I uploaded my map, Almost Heroes AoS. Despite putting a lot of time into it, the map has a number of issues to work out.
One of the big issues is the terrain itself. I'm more of a programmer than a terrainer, so I ultimately used a Terrain Template. Problem is, the terrain is way too big. Walking distance between the bases and lanes is too far.
I need a new terrain for the map that's significantly smaller. As for the tileset, dealer's choice. Doesn't matter to me as long as it looks good. Again though, it needs to be a very small map to cut down on travel distance.
Of course, the terrainer, should one accept the task, will be credited within the map itself.
I want the base areas to be on elevated terrain. Meanwhile, the top and bottom lanes extend straight up or down before going left or right. This will cause the top and bottom lanes to technically require more travel distance than the middle lane, but there is a creep speed up function for the top and bottom lanes to make up for this.
Of course, there has to be space for shops and for hero selection on both sides. Maybe there will be creep camps added later. Should be plenty of trees and backdoors for each lane to allow for ganks. Should also be some strategical locations that are ideal for sentry ward placements.
Here's a rough sketch of what I'm envisioning...
