Neutral Battle Edition

[Zenonoth]

Hello, just tested the map here's my review:

Well? what can I say?

+ Decent Heroes
+ Decent Imports and Game Interface
+ Decent Gameplay
+ Decent AI
+ Decent Map Description/presentation ingame

The only thing I think that is lacking is the terrain.. it's no fun fighting over an entirely green area 90% of the time.

I'm giving this map 4/5 vote for approval and +Rep will gladly improve my rating when necessary changes have been applied, you can also tell me if you're dissatisfied with my rating and I'll gladly remove it along with my comment.

A very quick mini review based on a short amount of playtime


Overview:
The map itself greatly reminds me of The Last Blade in more than one way.However,that is not of importance.I played twice,once normal mode and once destroy the castle mode.A few points I would like to bring up

The terrain,it's pretty bland and lacks any variation.Almost the entirety of the playing area is flat grass,which is just not pleasing to look at
First time I played with infernal,who's abilities were not unique since they were all a variation of normal abilities,except the one where they targeted 2 nearby heroes.However,the abilities were fitting so it's not really a major issue.All I suggest is a change of spell visual for the first one to make it suit the infernal more
The duel camera,it's locked on one position the entire time which I personally don't like.I prefer to be able to look around and get a better view of what is going on.
One of the items' recipes,Null talisman,says it gives 6 strength,when in truth it gives 6 intelligence.

That being said,the map itself isn't bad,it just requires more polishing.The AI functions properly from what I've seen and there are plenty of items to choose from
As of now,I give this a 3/5.Again,this is a very quick,mini-review but Ill gladly give this a full,proper review after some changes have been made
Have a nice day and feel free to contact me about this review/a future review

-some heroes have much more movement speed
-the duel is cancelled when one of the chosen contenders is dead
-some players seem to get selected more often for the duel in a (2v2 game)
-terrain is lacking (one tile? no height variation)
-Infernal hero's ultimate works on magic immune units
-lack of creep variation
-DotA ripped items
-Flameseeker's ultimate can destroy the enemy fountain...
-newest version on epicwar.com

2.5/5.

Oh, this will be a divisive one.
This map is very well polished, tooltips are neat and informative, map phases transition smoothly; there are no odd effects or unit sizes that are an eyesore.
In short, it is very neat and aesthetically well map.

All that said, I don't know if the map is "fun".
The idea isn't bad, however there are 3 main issues which I found to be issues.
- The map is too big and it is flat. For a hero arena, there is alot of walking back to base and time spent "not fighting". The flat map also means there are no advantageous terrains, or ways to objects to kite enemies around
- Items are straight out of DoTA. For the cash rate of this map; item collection is a chore; and sure you can slowly farm neutrals; but who plays a hero arena to farm creeps?
- Hero skillsets are not balanced toward the early game. Abilities are very weak and have very long cooldowns in the first 3 or so skill ranks. Combine this with the long time needed to head back and refill mana and hero combat for the first 8 - 10 levels was really slow.

I do however like how crude yet functional a lot of the hero skills are.
The AI is also surprisingly competent at playing the game.

- I also found the game keeps choosing the same 2 players on each team to duel, not sure if intentional.
