I have had a history in well some not so good maps... please check this map out even though it's not as good as any of the maps on here

It's good that you accept that this map isn't a professional map.

Review:

Review #1

General:

• Very bad description (both in-game as on the hive).
• We do not accept "Credits to whoever made that", try to be more accurate.

Gameplay:

• Nothing new/original
• The hero-choose system isn't good
• Heroes are imbalanced (Archimonde has rain of Chaos and Dark Portal, Divine Armor, chaos attack, ...)

Terrain:

• Flat, plain terrain
• Overdone fire doodads
• Sudden changes in terrain, no transition

Objects:

• No custom spells
• No custom items
• The Black Citadel hasn't been changed.

Triggers:
I couldn't open the map (it's protected), but I've found out my FPS lowered from 36 to 32, which might indicate leaks.
I've also noticed that your triggering isn't of a very high quality and isn't efficient.
A good example is the -repick1, 2, 3 - why do you need 3 repick-commands?

Try removing all leaks and code more efficient.

Well, this is a low-quality Hero Wars, with standard abilities/items, unbalanced heroes, a lacking description and (probably) poor triggering.

Rating: 1/5
Vote for Rejection

Reason:
Well, it's playable... but there is a lot missing and this has been done a lot more, and better.
Do not give up, though...

Hints

Tutorials:

• The Path of Proper Map Making (by Septimus).
• The Importance of Efficiency in Coding (by Septimus)
• Things that Leak (by Ralle)

Hints:

• Write an appealing description, that will attract people to download the map
  (I think I'm going to make a tutorial for this...)
• Customizing the spells will immeadiately make the map better
• The terrain is very important, every good map has a good terrain.
• If you need help, The Hive has a lot of other tutorials and a request section, where you can ask anything if you've got a problem.
• You can always PM me if you need any help/ideas.
