1/5. There were multiple critical bugs which made me decide to downgrading the map.
List:
Missing tool-tips.
Abilities weren't working.
Undeads can't automatically attack humans.
Frankinstein runs faster than humans and they don't have any chance of escape.
That's all for now.
Keep improving the map and please fix these problems.

This game was very unbalanced.
-Tooltips didn't always show
-Abilities didn't work
-No hotkeys (at least not shown in the tooltips)
-Way too short line of sight for survivors
-Frankenstein too strong
-Too low health for survivors
-Frankenstein was a lot faster
-No safe places for the survivors (or I simply didn't had the time to find one)
-Making dead survivors allies of Frankenstein makes it even more unbalanced
-Zombies still marked survivors as allies, but they were supposed to attack them
-Too fast game, because the survivors were far in disadvantage

I'm not going to say this map isn't original, because nothing can become less original then an AoS now DotA is extremely overhosted and the world is stuffed with Naruto fans who all think they can make something original, so that's good for your map's review. But still... If you compare this to another survival map of the same class, you still got a lot of stuff to improve before you should send it on Battle.net.

2/5

My review, followed by three not so positive ones. So beside telling the negative sides even more, I will try to suggest some improvements:

- Decrease Frankenstein speed
- Make the humans able to build something, dunno what
- Lower Frankensteins stats
- Add some houses to the terrain, and you can enter them and shelter if you are humans

Dunno, as Rui said this clearly cannot be approved, but I encourage you for a update and a retry in making this map.
