Alright, well, I need a few ideas for my map. Its a hero map with lanes in which two teams try to destroy each other's base. The map also has several capture points that provide bonuses. Now, the issue is that my map is starting to have game play that is too similar to Dota.

So what I am asking is if anyone has any ideas to make an AoS-type map to have less Dota-like game play; some sort of unique feature. I'm not looking to add features that clutter or over complicate it, just something unique as opposed to ripping off Dota. Any input is appreciated, thanks.

What is wrong with you, dude? I'm not looking for a model or any sort of factory. Please read either the title of the post or the post itself before making dumb comments.

I think you all need to reread it and do so more carefully this time!!

First of all, he said "in case you didn't know." That is, in my opinion, rudely implying that I am flawed for not knowing something.

And second, he did NOT say "idea factory." He said "there is an IDEAL factory." I am not looking for an ideal factory model. You honestly can't see that in his post? He was trying to tell me that there is an "ideal factory" out there for my map, which does not make any sense at all.

Please get your facts straight and READ correctly before jumping on me. Unlike you, I read his post for what it actually said. I do not understand why everyone thinks he said "idea" when everyone I showed Crimson's post to agreed with me that it does not make sense.

And Crimson, the words "IDEA" and "IDEAL" are completely different words. If you intended to say IDEA, then please understand that by using the word IDEAL you completely changed the meaning of your post.
That means your entire signature is gibberish and means nothing in the English language. "Check here if you need any spell ideals" does not make any sense because you do not know if the spell is the ideal spell for a situation without knowing the situation.

Idea:
–noun
1. Any conception existing in the mind as a result of mental understanding, awareness, or activity.
Example: I need an idea for features to add to the map.

IdeaL:
–noun
1. A conception of something in its perfection.
Example: A person of good moral character has good ideals.
Example 2: This model is ideal for your map because it fits the theme of it.

Thank you Ultra for the information; I'm new to the forum section of the site and must have overlooked that.

change the structure of hero abilities.
dota's structure is like: 3 spells + 1 ulti + 1 stat bonus.

try not to do similar spells or heros as dota has.

you might add the feature to your map, that everyone can improve the units which are automatically spawned.

Dont use Runes like in dota, add other events.

you might not use the 3-lane rule like in dota.


if you use creative heroes and add creative spells, it anyway wouldnt feel like dota, cause everyone has his own mapping-style.

i dont know if any of these ideas is useful either.. i just thought of them at first

ultra.x ... o_O
did you misplace this post? mis-paste?...
because its really really awkward if you post a request inside someone else's request thread (especially when its actually an idea request and therefore misplaced in its own nature).
