Like some crazy-ass, no-lifer map making dude said (no offence :P) :

To even be seriously attempting to use Starcraft to make anything falls into the "because I fucking feel like it" category, for the most part. By rights I should be using a more modern game engine to mod with. Or coding this stuff into their own games instead.
This is the reason why i didn't made that D&D map YET, but I still want to make a map right now,

"because I fucking feel like it"

So the idea is basically to make a melee map with heroes, just like war-craft 3. I am bad at melee map making and I wanted to rip off one of blizzard's map, so I came here to ask you all, what map would be nice for this kind of thing? (Preferably a map with at least 4 players that is smaller than 256*256, because I need to make it bigger to have some kind of area to trigger the heroes' abilities)

None.

More importantly, what are you going to do about the map boundaries? If you cut a normal blizz map that is say, 128x128 and your map is 196x196, then there are big chunks of the map that the players shouldnt be able to fly into.



None.

Hyper Triggers and mass order stop blocks :O?

But Vreal is right you should be able to trigger your hero's abilities without an outside area



None.

Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
