I am not perfect… still I am going to want to run some Competitive scrims on the PTR and see how this plays out.

it was just nice to have the tables turned for once…we all love what you do here

we would also all love to see a reverse sweep right??

(high hopes?)

This change helps 2CP not to be this infinite game that ends like 8-7… What I don’t like about 2CP is how you need a very clean teamfight win to even star getting a tick. Depending of the timing of the fights, the team that loses more teamfights might even win or at least be at an advantage in the following round, which I find very unfair.

The only way I think that could be helped is by revaluting the defense spawn rooms and try to get about 10 to 20 meters added from the walking distance from the spawn point to the objective area.

Right now most Assault point B spawn rooms have the heroes respawning practically in the back of the room so it would require a minor map redesign of those spawn rooms to get them back any further.

hell not just spawn room distance…i wish they addressed map size in general on some of these maps…

paris in particular

The biggest problem with Paris is the lack of high ground options. There is no distinguishable position options for either team to dictate how a team fight starts.

Horizon Lunar Colony has a lot of great high ground options on both points and with the 2018 map redesign, there is a fair amount of natural cover for both teams (defense had less natural cover before).

Temple of Anubis is probably the most balanced of the Assault Maps, because the high ground is actually the main lane, while the flanking routes are risky because you are in trouble if you are discovered but rewarding if you can use them successfully.

Hanamura again, has great high ground options that is important to control first if you hope to make a move on the point. (Always take control of that top left balcony.)

Volskaya tends to be the SURPRISE! Assault map. I lost count how many times I get away with this murder (see video below). It is balanced because it is very difficult for the defense to reenter the objective area if they lose control of it.

im not liking the reverse sweep chances here :sweat_smile:

cant disagree…but i think paris has the added negative of being so long in between points A and B that losing anyone almost guarantees the fight is over because it takes an age to get back from spawn (def A and att B)…like you might consider 5v6 on other maps…on paris its pretty much futility

also who the hell is that hero youre using there…im checking the game logs…he doesnt exist

Bastion. Dunebuggy skin.

excellent dva bomb lol

Thank u MVP tech 4 cha

Great D.Va bomb, but it just proved the point of Assault Defense spawn advantage as we have been debating.

The youtube links doesn’t link to the live stream.

I can’t remember the last time I saw so many ults wasted in such a short amount of time. That was kinda embarrassing for Florida.

Yeah, sorry about that. I’ll fix it next thread.

yeah, but honestly after 4 years my expectations of 2CP balance is low, and I don’t think they’ll ever be able to fix it without major changes to the modes/maps.

What’s the minimum draw rule?
