Think about how much better our queues are going to be now? Reasons this is a good thing :
queue times will improve as people will spend less time map dodging Paris/HLC
play sessions will improve as you now get offered more of the maps you want
the nice āfeelingā knowing 2cp is finally getting theā¦treatmentā¦it deservesā¦
What a great day, I think Iāll login and try the new queues!

Because the game detects fresh blood, untilted and ripe for backfilling

I canāt believe it took so long but with OW2 fast approaching I think theyāre finally cleaning houseā¦
OMG! Iāve had the same thought myself. Itās like āhey they just logged in, give em some 2cp, quick! Their tolerance is still high!ā

Walking simulator, without the need to have 360 awareness so I can just not pay attention and point and shoot
HE WE COME!
Pity they didnāt also delete Havana.

Walking simulator
ā¦better than stand at the choke simulator LOL!
I think it gets a bad rapā¦
ā¦that said, points 1 & 3 could definitely use a little more coverā¦

If we change a little into a lot we can agree

Never stood at a choke point, always used a hero that could get through and take my team with me. Those maps just needed more thinking to get through.

You donāt =/= the playerbase. In QP 2cp was a nightmare:
attackers standing at chokes doing nothing
defenders bored to tears shooting at the same choke for 4 minutes
Defend it all you want but itās going, going, gone!

Itās going to be hilarious for the rest of 2022 as people are rewarded with more Anubis and Volskaya

havana is actually another good example of a map that has a bad reputation even though theres nothing actually wrong with itā¦
its hated because its sniper friendlyā¦theres nothing wrong with the mapā¦people just dont like playing against snipers OR arent willing to change their playstyle in order to compete against that
does being friendly to a specific set of skills make it a bad map? or is it bad because people just dont want to play that way?

Every light casts a shadowā¦thus we must suffer the reality of the good newsā¦more Anubis/Volskayaā¦
Subjective opinionā¦
Nice contradiction in the same sentence lol!
Ruins is a āsniper friendlyā map. The difference, thereās adequate coverā¦
Havana point 1 and 3 lack the cover needed considering the long sight lines for the defendersā¦
2cp isnāt gone, Volskaya, Hanamura and Temple of anubis are still a thing yāknow?
while the maps themselves arenāt a living nightmare, the game mode is still pretty much the same

yeahā¦āsniper friendlyā doesnt make a map badā¦just like bunker friendly or dive friendly wouldnt make a map bad eitherā¦
whats adequate cover?? cause theres plenty of coverā¦whether or not people use it is a different questionā¦its all part of the gameā¦alternatively you could play snipers yourselfā¦but now you have a different problemā¦ie - āi dont wannaā - and by proxy map is ābadā

sighs ok, letās compare!
Ruins (Koth map):
house/cover-mega either side of point approach
2 pillars and low cover each side of point
point is āsunkenā can hide around walls
etc etc
Havana (Payload map) - point 1:
payload attack has no cover for 15m either side of it until it reaches the first bend
to push payload you need either a shield or to cower under the payload and not fight
Thereās always that person . I know that obviously but the title is catchier (and not total clickbait)ā¦
