Please do not spam map tags. Use the most fitting ones.

Some heroes have the same description and not even theirs (Warden for example) and some have their tooltip/description missing.
Many abilities have description issues as well.

Tooltip Tutorial

This is a tutorial about tooltips and related subjects. So you may ask these: What are "TOOLTIPS"? Tooltips are what you see and read when you try to learn an ability, try to buy a unit or item, try to use an item or ability and information of a certain item or ability, passive or...

Seems like an unpolished and incomplete map for now. Overall, core gameplay mechanics and stuff.

Simple.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

From v.0.08 I playtest in single player briefly, the "time for killing" keep playing on repeat on Orc(bottom) side.
The tooltip on hero select and their abilities doesn't seem to match, so with hero's hotkeys. It's good that they're tied to QWER format though

The cinematic is nice, not sure if player can skip it but would be nice if there's an option. Terrain is also nice.
Looking forward to see a more refined version of this one. Wishing all the best to the creator!

Improved:
The map 'WAR3 AOA - Arena of Annihilation', has been updated with the following.

• All heroes and units has been carefully studied and balanced according to the overall map performance.
• Tooltips and abilities description has been correctly added and edited, along with two new heroes: Bastian and The Lich King
• All heroes has been given 'Passive', some heroes share the same passives across the two teams. (You find each heroes passive under Tooltip description, holding the cursor over the hero in the Tarvern.)
• Huge changes in the map terrain, mostly around the middle.
• Added 2 new lanes with minion-waves and defending towers.
• Added movement speed boost for heroes on specific areas on the map, to make it more smooth and elegant running around.
• Items have been reworked and some erased.
• Added 1 new Quest: Flag
• Technical adjustments, regarding the overall game play.

Hope you enjoy, best regards

Looking good, here are some more things to suggest.

• Skill's name in a tooltip suggest a wrong hotkey, you might wanna add a correct one using a highlight or just add a Q/W/E/R behind them
• Optional: allow skipping cutscene, maybe when the player pressing ESC key(Events - skips a cinematic sequence)
• Proper hotkey for putting a ward
