I was pissed off at the ugly backwards high dirt --> dirt ramps, so I decided to try to make my own (that weren't high dirt to high jungle to jungle to dirt).

Very nice. May I submit these over at BWMN with your name on it?

Sure, go ahead.

From BWMN:
"They are blended pretty nicely, but the physical properties don't match the ones of a normal ramp at all. It looks as if you could block the ramp with a single zergling, ling tight. Or at least with a zealot.
It's much too tight in the middle."

If you'd like to fix them Sticky, go ahead. If not, no big deal.

Epic.

The commenters there are retarded, I already posted the rebuttal there, but here it is:

You guys obviously did not test any of these comments you are making, the ramp is only slightly more narrow than a normal ramp, compare:

vs.


Also, the vision works just fine:


All of you guys' complaints could have easily been tested in under a minute in SCM Draft.

OOZH purty! I like lots, pity my maps are always in citys...

Ow. That hurt.

The problem still remains of the center being too thin. Yes it is only by a little bit but in a melee that makes a lot of difference. Blocking with 1 unit vs 2 units is considered a bad imbalance.

But those ramps would take atleast 2 tanks to block. Maybe 3... Tanks are easily killed with reavers or ultralisks. Not to mention air?

.....You sir know absolutely nothing about melee.

Tanks blocking a ramp and you wouldn't send air to take them out? If not then what WOULD you send?

You don't block ramps with tanks.

Hehe.. I would
Although I'd have a legion of marines behind them...

You obviously have never played any sort of high level melee. Tanks are not at all the issue here. A single drone, marine, zealot, scv, or early game unit could block the middle of those ramps from anything getting up. That is an imbalance if another player needs 2 of such a unit to do it, as early game scouting and rushing is usually decided by 1 or 2 units.

I've reattached the map with more ramps, and I fixed the other ones to widen them.

They work, but I've never liked Backwards ramps. They're too unreal.
Its like fucking with perspective.

Those blends nice and they also "works"...
I wonder how those ramps would look like forwards, so not backwards.
*pokes sticky*

Look at the picture upside down

Are you asking me to make a backwards backward ramp? Wouldn't you just get a regular ramp?
