What is the most important thing for a Great AOS map

[StasMaN]

What do you think is the most important thing in a great AoS style map ?

 

[redscores]

Nothing of those, the uniqueness of the heroes, the story behind which connects with the maps story, the fact that the spells are good in case of effects and still strategical.

Balanced gameplay ftw

Make sure a noob can play and still have fun...
And a 1337 player can still have fun by doing real rediculous shet.....

The heroes shouldn't be about title...
But about whos gunna play them...

Of your alternatives, I must say that the most important is balanced gameplay, since otherwise, the AoS (in this case) cannot simply be fun, since some heroes will always beat others, despite skills etc.

 

[Soga-]

Yes, balance is very important, although I say new features come next. Why? Because if your AoS doesn't do anything to distinguish itself from other AoS's, what's the point? Try doing new things - try to redefine the AoS genre. Even if you can't - always die trying!

Every one hate to get beaten, so make it restart after victory or defeat.

New features of course! There is no point making same type of map like dota (which is superior to others).

Alltought many people still do it.

Terrain?

 

[zach_kirov]

New features, uniqueness of heroes and items, special modes

There is no AoS map which is perfectly balanced because to some players, it maybe perfectly balanced, but to some players, it won't. Its depends on how the players play the map. So far there is no AoS map out there which everyone can classified it as "balanced". No matter how balance it is, no matter how hard the map maker worked on it, still there are people who said the map "imbalanced". Unless all the heroes are totally same.

[shawster]

something that makes it different from dota.

Then they just would get beaten again and never play that map again.
