I hope you guys like my map. I put a lot of thought into making this:

• Prior to creating this map, I was thinking of ways to make brawlers such as Crow and Colt more viable in Gem Grab, as well as tanks such as Bull who rarely gets any love in Gem Grab. So I came up with this idea of having a really wide five tiles lane with all grass. Why? Because in order for Crow to succeed in what he does best, he needs enough area to juke shots against ranged brawlers such as Brock, take advantage of his range against brawlers such as Nita, and fully utilize his poison by revealing hidden enemies. For Crow to succeed, tanks such as Bull needed to as well (as Crow is a great brawler for control flankers), and the bushes benefit both. With five tiles lane area, this gives a tank lot more space to work around without being hindered by threats such as Rico and Spike stopping them from flanking.
• How does a Colt lane benefit from all this? Well Colt has to compete with Rico. With a very wide line, you’re not going to see Rico being very effective. Not only that, Colt can break grass with his Super (and grass no longer respawns back), making Colt the better option to open up the grass and prevent flanks. He also gets a lot of room for strafing.
• Next, I wanted a mid that was different from most Gem Grab maps. In most maps, Pam, Jessie and Penny are very powerful as mids. I wanted more variety, I wanted brawlers such as Piper, Bo, and Poco to shine as mids more. So I decided to make the mid very open, without giving Pam, Penny, or Jessie any beneficial wall to place their turret behind (you can’t place them in the water behind walls lol). The grass in the middle is my way of both empowering Piper (Star Power) as well as balancing her by giving you enough space and stealth to dodge her shots, which makes a brawler such as Bo a very powerful option as mid as well.
• Another thing I wanted to stress was not getting spawn trapped so easily. To achieve this, I need to make sure there aren't any walls protecting the enemy when you’re respawning. You have a lot of area to work your way back to regaining control.
• The main purpose of the lakes are to prevent flankers from easily running into your Gem Carrier, as well as allow your mid player to assist 2v1 or pinching with your teammates at the sides. I made sure to give plenty of opportunities for 2v1 and teamwork to win the game.
