Yesterday I db'd with someone at euro who used the walling style I think more commonly used by European players. Don't have a screen shot but most of you know what I'm talking about. The lanes are a bit more space out, one running right and then down, the other running to the far right, and then down.

Just wanna know what different conditions the two main walling plans serve.

Euro walling = Standard walling, both east and euros walled like this ever since 3.0.9. It is only called "euro walling" after east invented "east walling", to differentiate the two.
East walling (?) = Non-standard fun walling. This walling means it is much harder to re-wall if there is a decent + relatively fed titan, due to the pathing.

To add to that, east walling allows for more towers as well as an additional worker block option in the top right portion of base.

Lies, I worker block from top right regardless of euro/east walling. When titan is overfed, then using top shelters for worker block is a better idea.

I don't understand why using shelters up top is a better idea.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most players siege the top lane and work their way up?

Regardless of whether the titan is fed, isn't it better to have more damage coming from the direction it is sieging toward and use the distant shelters of the southwest outcropping to worker block?

Workers from the top right spawn in a better position than those in the bottom left.
Shelters in the bottom left can be replaced with towers to deal extra dps, but replacing shelters in the top right with towers would be ineffective (they will likely be out of range)

Your question is whether top or bottom blocking.

The answer is: Why not both?

Definitely the euro walling from my part since its more safe to rewall this way . ( hf rewalling against a well fed decent titan with nuke bounce @east walling = boom 4 deaths )

East walling is intended for more towers and power. Sure the walling has a bit of a nukable advantage but tbh I've yet to seen anyone nuked out while rewalling, besides hf losing minis the minute they go in with all that tower power [Depending on if the base is all super/half mega.]

I could have sworn I patented it as PLusWalling™.
Anyways, it's more efficient than euro walling because: you can fit 10 more towers than euro walling,and euro walling messes up worker block from top right (worker blocking from the bottom left may cause lane blockage).
It may be slightly easier to get nuked but that base is one of the most guarded bases against nuking, you'd have to be horrible to get nuked regardless of walling style.

Workerblocking on euro walling is just fine as soon as the front wall of the bottom lane is killed. Then no lane-blocking happens.
