I have never seen a map I hate more than this.
It’s like somebody has decided to dump a load of random assets and call it a map.
I appreciate it’s new, but its got no structre, no points of interest, it’s bland and has no logial direction.
Awful map.
disagree. one of the best new maps out there.
Every map will feel like that at first. Now I’ve figured out how it plays both through matches, and walking around in custom games, I feel confident and strategic on the map. It’s also visually lovely with nice landmarks.
I found out last night that, if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, the map will kill you lol
It’s a straight asset flip, it’s got nothing on Bliz world, Kings etc,
It remind me of that DM map you play before games, just all over the place.
i believe the train to be a big point of interest
its been a day lets calm down and learn the map first before we start with the usual whining
There’s very few reused assets on the map, outside the stuff on every map like coffee cups and litter. Some out of bounds elements are the same the other Japanese maps but that’s it.
Usual?
I have loved almost every hybrid map ever made, I would say they are still my most voted for. This is like the clash of hybrid maps.
Clash maps were so bad they got removed. I guess we will find out if people like it or not with the vote share.
My first time playing the map, i arrived at the first defense point and thought…is that a statue of Optimus Prime?? lol
100% agree.
Looks like a map generated by AI with tons of clichés weeb prompts.
The worst part is that it’s Escort / Hybrid.
I hope Neon Junction will get nuked / removed in the future. At least, I’ll be leaving it as much as possible.
In the patch notes, it was promised that we wouldn’t get the same map within 5 min or something and I landed on this map twice in a row (left the second time).
The patch notes said it’s significantly less likely to get a map you’ve played in the last 5 matches, not impossible. And, Neon Junction is likely going to be voted in more due to being new and the new tags/rewards.
If you leave a map the second time you can play it, you will never enjoy the map as you never learn it. This is the problem Aatlis and other OW2 maps have.
I know it’s hard not to complain about new things.
But try yelling at clouds. I think you’ll like it more.
You guys got to play it? I played about 15 matches, never saw it come up once as a choice in map vote. I did get to play it once because random won. I didn’t get to really look around though because the match was a steamroll not in my favor.
Genuinely, they could pass this map off as a Marvel Rivals map and I would be fooled. It looks so similar.
There’s an arcade mode for it if you don’t mind playing open queue rules!
At least you gave it a fair shot by playing the map twice.
Big disagree. I think it’s great. I spent like 30 minutes in a private match just flying around as Cat and looking at details. It plays well so far, too, but it’s clear that nobody really knows where to have fights yet.
Same! If you haven’t look up “Map Expansion tool” on Workshop.codes. It lets you get out of bounds to see some of the out of bounds stuff up and close, like the little temple up the stairs, and areas obviously not designed to be seen.
It’s pretty and has some interesting parts.
Not sold on the design yet. It feels very difficult to mount an effective defense on. It’s very easy for attackers to get behind you or access high ground you can’t easily access.
Need more time on it.
I quite like it. Maybe I would change the very last point a little, but overall it seems fun. I’m a really big fan of that hole right up at the ceiling enemy spawn side of the last corner the cart takes. That lets you poke at the enemy from what’s basically hidden rn.
