Remove Flashpoint, Embrace Clash

Flashpoint maps are way too big with too much walking. I already hated Escort for the same reason but FP is just worse.

Clash however is the most fun I had in a very long while + it promotes healthy gameplay by giving the losing team a chance to recover thanks to how challenging it is to capture A or E. (Clash alone can help place people in their correct ranked, losing A or E multiple times should be an automatic rank down in tier, 50% loss of comp XP at minimum)

i would like it better if there was more variety. i know because its only a trial period and still a fresh mode that there is only going to be hanaoka, but i can’t play more than 3 matches on hanaoka without feeling like im in a custom game

i do think its a lot more fair than flashpoint since you can defend closer to spawn for balance, but flashpoint felt a lot more unique on the approach for each point

I really don’t know what they were thinking when making Flashpoint, just a worse and unbalanced version of control… Making the maps huge so you have to walk for 5 minutes until you reach the point, and on top of that the points captures at the speed of light, who playtested this and thought it was fine? I can’t wait for Clash to come out

the worst part is that it depends on what RNG you get.

sometimes you or the enemy spawn right next to the point, while the opposite team has to slowly waltz their way over there

sometimes you cross paths with the enemy on your way to the point and waste time on a team fight while a random tracer backcaps the flashpoint

sometimes the next point is a short hop away and the entire team is already there by the time anyone else can make a push

Not so sure on that. Rather enjoy Flashpoint. Requires team coordination and use of more mobile heroes.

Not really sold on clash. Feels really imbalanced and unintuitive. Might feel better if I could play it in role queue format, but haven’t come across it yet in QP.

I like Flashpoint more than Clash, personally.

This is the reason why a lot of people are playing Tracer

Flashpoint is a fine mode apart from walking pointless from there to there.

Clash is kinda ok but in my case it was like start with c and end with c.

i think they should have made it so the spawns can swap periodically, but maybe that is just unnecessary
