This method is asking for trouble the deflection is going to cause problems in your wet area............

cut the backer board and screw fix and bond them to the 18mm ply with solid bed of Keraquick incorporating latex plus to form the "fall.
Tank with Mapegum WPS OR Mapelastic. Tile with Keraquick and latex plus. Grout joints with Ultracolor Plus and fill internal vertical corners and junctions of walls and floor with Mapesil AC colour to match grout.
Leave it for a fortnight before leaping in!!

Keraquick can only be used to 6mm bed...you need more than a 6mm fall to get sufficent drainage in a wetroom..IMHO dock..

Building up tiles to form falls is very outdated and not a fail safe method...

I recommend the use of a preformed former...better to be safe than sorry..
