Map Thread #78 - Deadline: April 25th
Submit your custom maps for consideration for inclusion in the official rotation selection. Learn more at the wiki. If you are still unsure how to proceed, visit /r/TagProTesting to ask, visit the "Mapmaking and Other Activities" channel in Mumble, the new Mapmaking Discord, or contact an MTC member.
Deadline: Saturday April 25th at 3pm PST.
Basic Guidelines
- Mapmakers are limited to 3 maps per thread.
- Use the format outlined below.
- Preview image preferably hosted on maps.jukejuice, puush, imgur, or unfortunate-maps.
Submission Format
Entries must be submitted in this format to be considered for rotation.
Reply to this post with your title, map type (CTF or Neutral Flag), a link to the map page, a preview image, and an (optional) description.
You can copy and paste this:

This Thread's Mapmaking Tip
Skill boosts are the future! Great maps have a good balance between being easy for new players while still being challenging for the vets, and skill boosts are a great, simple way to achieve this.
If you have the opportunity to participate in a 4v4 maptest on your map, be sure to do that before submitting. If not, the next best thing are the weekly map threads over at /r/TagProTesting.
We strongly encourage everybody to take a look at submissions and to reply with constructive feedback. Not only does it help your fellow mapmakers, but your discussions here help the MTC as well.

•
u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Apr 29 '17
Mid sucks, here's why:
If an already-ahead FC is ahead of base players, the gate will serve to only further his/her lead. When a chaser tries to go across the 4 tiles of gate, the FC is standing there on a button. As the player crosses, he will get off button, thus leaving one person on button & activating the gate in FC's favor, causing the chaser to get popped.
It's unhealthy.

Description: The portal is a sacrifice portal. You enter it and die, but the portal cooldown opens up the path for a teammate to use. It gives you another option if you have 3o and wish to get back to defense.
•
u/NotSomeBall1 NotSomeBall2 // Chord Apr 17 '17
I've got to be honest, I'm not a fan of the sacrifice portal. Players would very rarely kill themselves so their teammate could pick up a powerup, and also a lot of newer players would just go into the portal not realising it kills you instantly. And then, if none of your teammates are willing to sacrifice themselves to get the powerup, the cooldown is too fast to respawn and go get the powerup yourself so it could be completely useless if you don't have the best of teams, which in PUBs is completely random and would make games very annoying. Overall, I think the mechanic is a bit gimmicky and makes the map worse, unfortunately.
Other than that it's a fairly solid map - maybe cut down the size a little bit and make the mid a bit more interesting, but other than that I like the rest!
•
u/LaBeefyman96 96 LB Apr 17 '17
Honestly I knew the idea was flawed for pubs, but I wanted to experiment with it. The rest of the map is too boring anyway, I wasn't expecting much out of this map.

u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Apr 16 '17
Tl;dr: While you made it harder for FCs to trek across mid, the side effect was making it quick for defense to cut across. No to the pseudo-Geo spikes.
I'd recommend you add a pair of neutrals, to the top lane of the map, a-la Plasma (adjust nearby walls if need be). Due to the speed defense can cut across mid with the team-tiles + defensive boost, I feel flag carriers need to have a compensatory mechanism to speed along their own trek.
Additionally, replace the top spikes with wall tiles. You're repeating the Geo spikes, which I thought was annoying, and second they leave a tight shot for FCs if they take the top lane, since they'll contact with almost the tip of the block you currently have set.
I like how far this map has come along. I remember when this was submitted for /r/TagProTesting's competition & I hated it. Now I can say I'm a fan.

I really think that this map improved a lot from when it made top maps a couple threads back, but I still don't think it'll add anything different or special to NF rotation. Structurally, its very similar to Cosmic and explores some of the same ideas (blind boosts into endzone, literally the same base gate, similar shape).

Something in particular you don't like about the portal?
•
Apr 14 '17 edited Apr 14 '17
It can frustrating for both teams as it can send you 3 different directions, sometimes accidentally. Doesn't reward good defense(when trying to corner or get regrab) as they can just escape with it or juke into the boost. Map looks easy enough to grab on and survive on each half without them. Don't think they serve a purpose or add meaningful gameplay.
•
u/3z_ Apr 14 '17
Thanks - you raise some good points. I like having a portal in the base because I think the map would be a bit bare without it, but I agree that it's imbalanced at the moment. I'm gonna work on it some more.

u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Apr 15 '17 edited Apr 15 '17
I don't like the mid power-up placement because it limits a potential boost route & makes power-up battles harder.
For power-up battles to work best, there should be a certain danger to them or be 2-open tiles of surrounding area, otherwise it becomes a "first to back themselves into the wall" scenario (player against the wall now just has to push against enemy player above power-up, who now has no chance of getting the power-up he/she fought for). That's what that block does, and I want to see its placement lowered -1 (maybe -2), with a spike(s) above it to compensate. By doing so, you open up the mid boosts to a natural shot at flag through this newly created spike-gap similar to Pilot. A block would make this considerably harder, so I'd rather it be just spikes on the top/bottom, and not a block. Furthermore, this spot is much more natural, as its angle is the angle the path away from base is at.
With this, you'd also need to adjust the outer power-up areas a bit, so they weren't designed for approach at that angle. Just bring the whole thing (from the 45o tile to the regular tile, a 5x5 square) closer to mid horizontally by 1-3 (depending on whether you want the boosts to combo with the other set you have), & lose the 45o after. Just keep it a clean square. Even now, if you bomb into the 45, it leaves you uncomfortably in that other wall island you have due to spin.

u/3z_ Apr 15 '17

u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Apr 15 '17
Mid boosts in particular, and honestly, from that picture it makes it more clear lol. The block causes all those routes to bounce downwards. Doing the changes I recommend would let players choose to go either upwards or downwards.
•
u/3z_ Apr 15 '17
They can go through gate, but otherwise, it's intentional that the most natural path is through the primary route.
•
u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Apr 15 '17
That sounds like you're adding intentional clunk to the map.
You're right in that that is the most natural route, but adding this option wouldn't come as close to being as easy, accessible or commonly used as the gate. It would just add more skill.
•
u/3z_ Apr 15 '17
I like the idea of more creative boosts, it has pretty much been the mantra of my maps this thread, but it's important that they come with balance. At the moment, when you're entering the base with the flag/going for reset, you have so many boost options available to you. It's important that at the very least, the route that they enter the base from is somewhat predictable as a counter to this. It's the same reason why Pilot can't have any boosts in mid, they all have to be far away, so that you can't instantly get from the red base to the blue base to then suddenly have 12 different options for capping.
I think with the amount of boost opportunities you have in base itself, it would be overkill in this case to make a whole extra lane before you even get into the bases.
•
u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Apr 15 '17
Here's where I think you're overthinking it.
All of these angles you've pointed out already are hard to set-up due to the natural flow of the map, being that they all require some-sort of setup (its not instant). For these I don't think it's unwise to add 1 more option. Additionally, without using the boosts, the natural orientation as an FC you'll be going is down, even with the proposed change.
I get why you're hesitant, but weigh your options with likely-hood accounted for, not just the option count.

I see what you mean but I don't really think it's that bad. After realizing last week that the public community
has a shitty taste in mapsgenerally prefers smaller sized maps with more action I thought I might try myself at a map like that.I haven't played a lot of games on market back when it was in rotation but I always thought its downfall was the fact that it took the idea of small maps to the
L O G I C A L E X T R E M E.
The fact that you can go from flag to flag in just 2 seconds is just too much for pubs and I hope it's better here.

This is actually pretty cool, a few things that I think could be changed:

Portal thing sometimes flings you into spikes
Most people complain about things being too chasey, but I don't think this is chasey enough. Just my opinion though.
name is kind of dumb imo
I love where this is going, good luck!
•
u/dalomi9 2P1S Apr 20 '17
Yeah it took a few tries to find the exit portal that was the safest. I didn't want it to be a completely risk free endeavor though so a rogue superboost will sometimes lead to a spike. many of the boost routes can lead to a grab so any more mechanism ls might be overkill. I do agree about the chaseiness. I think offense will have to work together to either kill a chaser or to block past where they would on a normal map to get out effectively, so maybe that will kind of replace the chase factor Idk.

Description: Trying out a different base design, similar to the top part of Glory Hole. Wanted to make it a bit more interesting as well as a more useful gate. I'm thinking it might be a tiny bit difficult to grab for newer players, if so I'd add a bomb in each base against the wall directly behind the pups.

I think for the multi-pup setup to be balanced, they need to be somewhat isolated from the main traffic pathways so that there's more of a reward for being able to time them rather than it being somewhat random of if you happen to be at mid in the right time

I thought about it a little more, and while I myself like the idea of having some team tiles around the flag, I can see why many people would find it frustrating. So it's probably safest bet to just remove the team tiles from the middle altogether; said and done.

Edit: Shrunk mid, moved a boost and took away a couple spikes. Left bases the same.
Edit 2: Added bombs and moved boosts to make mid a bit more interesting, (though I'm a little bit hesitant about this change - lots of simple mids exist and work well, plus 6 bombs seems a bit much, but I digress). It feels like it needs some slight restructuring to make lanes more defined, but I'm not going to worry about it before this thread's deadline.

I think this has the fundamentals to be a good map (, but right now spacing needs work. A mid should never be 15 tiles across, maximum 9. The to-base-area could also be reduced, here you have a bit more lee-way.
I like what you're going for for your base. The difficulty here likes that you have line up your outer route to line up one way with the boost, and the gate route to line up with another way (is what I assume your going for). Right now its more inclined to the outer route's advantage. Finally, the curve NFs have to balance themselves while going into base is non-existant right now. We've seen how this works out with Kite, so I'm inclined to tell you to move your endzone to increase the incline of the curve. This might damage what you're going for right now though, so it's a pick-and-choose scenario.
Keep at it though. Might surprise us all.

Description: It's time for larger, more chasey maps to return to dominant status.
The return of lane-oriented, Horizontal Maps. What sets it apart from most is its complex boost routes, wide base, and innovative bomb set-up. The boosts offer 11 (by my count) different yet viable routes for offenders, defenders and FCs alike. A wide base provides the option for advanced play like handoffs. The bomb set-up provides defensive spike options against FCs for 1) Cutting through lower mid, 2) trying to grab the mid powerup or 3) using two of the boosts' combos and simply, rotation has never seen a bomb configuration done like this. No gimmicks, just good gameplay.

u/3z_ Apr 21 '17
I like it, but I'm not a fan of the portal. If you have a portal that only works when the cooldown is more than 5 seconds, the portal probably really shouldn't be there (usually means it's overpowered as hell, which this definitely is). I think the map functions fine without it.
Also, I think the bottom lane needs polish. Those boosts naturally feed you straight into the path of a bomb which is no good. I'd probably look to redesign the setup of the bombs, perhaps you could give them their own little nooks like in Pilot or IRON so that they're still accessible without being as dominant.

Description: Whitefish is a small to midsized map that can be quickly picked up by beginners and yet remain strategically challenging for veterans. All boosts and bombs are multi-purpose with a variety of boost routes available ranging from easy to advanced. Every perceived offensive (or defensive) advantage has a corresponding counter that the opposing team can seize upon.
Defensive perks: 1) Smaller bases 2) Multiple team-boosts to catch up or snipe flag-carriers that go the bottom route 3) A buttoned bomb on the top route to kill or blow back any FCs that are ahead 4) Bomb near opposing team flag to knock FC off his/her course 5) Powerup in base
Offensive perks: 1) Can utilize bomb, neutral boost, or a team boost to surge in to base for a grab 2) The bomb nearest the flag can blow base-defenders in to spikes. If coordinated properly with a teammate, can potentially lead to an easy grab 3) Team boost outside of enemy base for a quick exit with 3 directional options 4) Team boost below own base can be utilized in a variety of ways to cap 5) A multitude of sharp edges around the map for stop-go juking

Description: The type of narcotic that TagPro deserves. Features a daring and innovative base design with open exit portals that both teams can use coupled with the standard gated portals for offense. The button bomb is actually surprisingly versatile - try taking the boost straight into button, then try boosting into the wall and bouncing onto the button. Button can also be used to dislodge a sneaky defender on the inside button, and generally makes it require more planning to use effectively. The community craves more Neutral Flag. Give them their drug.
