Form meets function—the beauty of art within the complexity of map design.
He goes on to describe the Push maps as, “…a little more porous, meaning it’s easier for flanking. You need to watch multiple locations.”
Here’s hoping there’s an option to NOT queue for push maps…

i’ll refuse to get queued for push maps more than 2CP, Respawn and get blamed for dying simulator is gonna be really easy to get.

“One example includes adding cover to existing Overwatch maps to accommodate having one less tank”
A good thing for sure. Worried that this speficially wasn’t mentioned more over the years.

I mean, they described it as an intentionally fast-paced map that favors flankers. I like slower-paced rounds and dislike dealing with extremely prominant flanking.
Maybe it’ll surprise me and I’ll enjoy it, but if not, I’m hopeful they include options to actually queue for specific modes instead of just everything and you get what you get.

I’m curious if the ‘total flanker dominance’ we’ve been hearing about is mainly from these maps.

The art team behind these backgrounds are incredibly talented and these maps are the only thing I’m looking forward to in ow2
Just hope they aren’t terrible for the game modes they’re intended
April 26th if you get into the beta.

I hope complex dosen’t mean “Here, have two chokepoints on each side of the map instead of one.”
The maps looks good but is yet to see how they plays. Also doesn’t look much different than OW1 maps.
And I hope the name of the mode changes so it doesn’t sound like a backyard game for toddlers or something.

From what we’ve seen the new maps have more verticality to them than OW1 maps

To be fair, did you watch the stream of it way back? It looked worse than 2CP lol.
I did not and am imagining it to be somewhat like Tower Control in Splatoon, which is my favorite mode in that game
So I want to try it out before making any judgements about how pro players play the game

I love KotH, so in theory, I really want to love Push too.
Hopefully it was just a bad showing and/or get major improvements, cause boy, was it ever a a miserable deathmatchy clusterduck on that stream.

I already called it that push is gonna become the new 2CP. Can’t wait to see them have to remove Rome from comp, then from QP and then just the whole mode because people keep dodging them maps. At some point they’ll just gonna be like: “No more maps ever. Go make your workshop maps”.
