Gameplay: The map works smoothly for a 3rd person shooter in Warcraft 3. Although accidentally clicking on the walls/cliffs make you turn around, there isn't much you can do about it. The camera is set at a nice spot, I can see where I want to see.PART 2FEEDBACK
As for the playing against others, the match isn't all walking around trying to find them, it's quite easy to find them as you would want to fight over the fountain in the middle. I would have thought you would be able to refill mana at the fountain aswell. There isn't any place to refill mana.
The creeps add a feeling of being trapped, and they award gold. There aren't any shops to use the gold to buy items. That's okay not to add, but adding one or two to reward players who are actually killing the creeps would add on to the gameplay mechanics. The item drops are pretty useless. 3 second invisibility and the very short speed potion don't have a good enough effect to get me an advantage against my opponents.
Here is the thing I'm disappointing in though. Your abilities are Firebolt, Evasion, and Critical Strike. You just get lucky in battle in who shoots first, and those abilities are pretty dull for an arena map. Firebolt doesn't match for a marine either, you can have the same effect but a different projectile such a concussion, flash, or stun gun (Anything like that). Abilities like ensnare and wind walk would work a lot better than those three. I'm not saying to take it out, it's just that your spells makes the gameplay more luck based. I'm not taking a point off for this, but using QWER and if extra FTG would be a lot more easier when using the hotkeys for heroes.
12/20
Terrain: The terrain is not bad Good choice on the tile-set as the dungeon cliffs are more detailed than the other ones. There isn't much tile variation, but you kept it consistent. Grey colored outside and dark stone paths with blue tint are a great match.
The layout of the map is nice and symmetrical, fighting over the middle is really fun, and the dead ends aren't an okay idea, I'm not sure if people will camp it. The four places where the ramps are, are definitely camp spots. You see the whole hallway and shoot 1 or 2 times before the enemy hero can retaliate. I suggest you remove them, or remove the walls between them. They give the player to much of an advantage.
6/10
Scenery: Doodads were placed one by one, and also, symmetrically. There isn't any spam, and they are placed in the right spots. The spawns are definitely the best looking in the map. I like the use of the obelisks and statues. The only issue for me is that the big hallways and the middle are a little empty.
The fog was also implemented right, helps set the theme of the map.
7/10
Consistency: No bugs found, not even tiny ones. All of the icons have descriptions and the one spell has the hot-key indicator. Nice job!
5/5
Presentation: Your map description is lacking in the gameplay region. Don't just add in random features. Tell how to start of the game.
Example: "This is a free for all third person shooter type map. The goal of the game is to kill enemy heroes 10 times. Everyone has the same hero, using abilities firebolt, evasion, and critical strike. Get to the center of the map, and there is a fountain. But beware, creeps are infested through the whole arena."
You did good on including the features like the multiboard and fog in your description.
3/5
