koth_gravelpillar - You fight around the pillar and gravel and capture both!

This map was inspired by Viaduct. it is Viaduct but rotational and with a pillar in the middle.

I really like how high ground around mid forces players to fight for it, although the walking paths up to it favor defenders too much. both ramps are close to each other. If you changed the building entrance in the middle to come from the far side, then that would give attacking teams a good approach to take high ground.

The blue high ground can only be taken by walking up one of the two closely positioned green entrances (at least from mid). There doesn't seem to be much reason to push into the red far side. If you changed the building entrance to the orange arrow it would give the attacking team an alternate route.

 

[Owli]

Moved entrance to the far side and redid the inside

There are a couple red areas that feel claustrophobic. You could deal with this a bunch of different ways. One possibility is to change the small building into an even smaller building block with a mid height fence. I did actually like the previous size of the bigger building you had in the middle, but if you want to keep the size you could move back part of the building into spawn.

Looking good. There are a bunch of resizing and shaping you should do, but the basic layout is there. I would work on reducing the constricting architecture on either side of point. Also, make sure you can jump over the recently added fence.
