When commenting on a melee map, it is important to ask yourself a few things:

1. Do I know what I am talking about?
-If you have no idea how to make a balanced melee yourself, you really don't have much business trying to tell someone else how to do it. Rather than give bad advice that will only hurt, it's better to be silent and let someone else do the job. If you aren't sure, say so, not everyone's an expert, but if you aren't, do not claim to be.


2. Can the map be improved?
-There are very off chances where a map has been made with a lot of time and care, and is totally fine. There are also times where a map's concept is so bad, or completely lacks a concept, where there is nothing that can be done with it. It is in those cases that you get simple comments of what's wrong with the map, and no details on improvement, because it isn't worth the effort. Some maps can be saved, some can't, and some don't need it at all.


3. Is my comment clear?
-It is always a good idea to make your comment in a clear and understandable manner. Using proper punctuation and grammar should help immensely. Unreadable advice isn't all that helpful.

4. IS MY COMMENT CONSTRUCTIVE AND POSITIVE?
I'm sick of seeing flaming and trolling based on the quality of someone's map. If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say it at all.

What if I took all the minerals and geysers off the middle expo, copied the first two expos and middle, resized map, and made it a four player? How would that be?
