Still waiting on the explanation on why it takes over 2 and a half years for Wrecking Ball to receive a new legendary skin

Doesn’t apply here if you read the subject matter properly.

Go make a thread and ask and you’ll get a better chance of a proper reply.

Could we look into why the Moderation Team isn’t taking action against harassment and those who regularly engage in this behavior here?

Did they remove the 100 bonus XP? It was the one reason we voted for this map.

If there’s one thing that’s always nailed, it’s the quality of the artwork, wether or not a map is my favorite.

For example Paris. I hated playing on the map, but the artwork was fantastic. They always knock it out the ball park. Extremely talented bunch.

The map is worse, but my nephew is more joyful about the additional penguins. Good job, I guess.

The point that was the worst is still absolutely awful in every possible way. It doesn’t need a rework you need a new 3rd point it’s literally awful. The worst in the entire game like, by far.

The other two are fine I guess, I like them better than anything in Nepal but that’s about it.

The color changes and all that are great, and so it’s less painful to be in the map, but it’s still just so very very bad.

Low key I think you just took it down for a year and reworked it to make it seem like we finally got a new map.

10 heroes of slop in one year but we want maps. It’s even more painful with map voting as the variety is shrunk even more (though that’s kinda good because some are just so bad). Clash is gone that’s negative 2 maps, all that has been added then in like years has been what Runasapi and some flashpoint?

Maybe get your map team off of the slowly dying stadium and make some actual maps for the base game again. Team 4 has been absolutely failing in any meaningful metric since ow2 season 9 and simply placating with bread and circus garbage like hero bans and loot boxes and ultra fast slop hero releases. I want the quality back not the non stop content. If all I wanted was that I’d play rivals. Stop trying to compete with them and focus on being the best overwatch can be.

I also play this game with my nephew, I need to show him the penguins next time I gotta babysit him.

In terms of feedback for other maps that (I think) need more attention, please look at:

New Junk City
Paraiso
Circuit Royale
New Queen Street
Numbani
parts of Blizzard World
parts of Havana

Enviromental damage is pretty cool with what theyre doing. Im voting for that map for a while. Itd be cool if more maps had this.

Then again, that leads to guns doing elemental damage outside fire for some

You guys should rework every flashpoint map into control

Control is peak

This. This right here.

I feel the map redesign was a great hit. I regularly see people voting for it now and it plays way better than the previous version that I remember.
