How come maps don't have gimmick elements anymore

General Discussion

It seems jump pads are pretty common now but other than that I don’t think any OW2 map has any gimmicky elements like riverboats or elevators or low grav sections or latch doors or floating platforms. Idk just seems like wasted potential

I noticed this too. There seems to be a reduction in moving platforms. Performance reasons? Simplification?

There has to be a reason outside of ‘creatively bankrupt.’

True. No major creativity or uniqueness in most OW2 maps. The maps are fine overall but unmemorable.

I’m kinda grateful for it. Rivals is bad enough with reconstructing buildings that can kidnap you mid-fight. I don’t really enjoy any of that stuff.

Maps have become boring. It would be nice if future maps had destructible environments, ramps, lifts, hazards like in Paladins and other stuff to make maps interesting.

I gotta agree, that element of MR is horrible! Im glad OW2 doesnt have rebuilding map mechanics.
