What? A choke isn’t always a tunnel. A path that goes over a mountain isn’t a tunnel, yet it can be a choke. Is the SP bridge a tunnel? Now you’re getting ridiculous.
Tunnel, as in narrow path.
That’s not a tunnel then is it.
My bad for missing a word. A choke is like a tunnel.
Still not technically correct. Something is only a choke if it can be blocked. Can you block IWB -> SHGY if AV was a 5v5 map? No since there’s not enough people. Can you block it in a 40v40 match? Yup, therefore it’s a choke.
So according to you the entire map is a choke.
Errr no, since there is no way to block the Field of Strife with 40 people (since it extends behind Snowfall and all the way to the right of SHB), and you can’t block all the way between TP and FW, and you can’t block the valley behind IWB. Now if AV was 100v100, then yeah you could probably call the whole map a big choke no matter where you were since you’d be able to block at any point as you have the numbers to do so.
That was sarcasm. A choke is a funnel, not a wide open area you have to spread to.
Lol how wide is the area before it becomes not a choke? If I have a funnel, and 1 matchstick, is the matchstick a choke for water?
Do you consider FWGY a choke?
You mean at the flag with 40 players? No, there’s not enough players to block the enemy from moving past the flag since the map extends very far to the right from the Horde perspective. Move back 20 yards to the keep entrance, and that becomes a choke because I can block it with 40 people.
If I had 100 players in line with FWGY flag, then it could probably be called a choke.
Anyway, this discussion has run it’s course. We’re not going to agree, so why continue to argue semantics
Well neither are a choke. Though since they filled the hole, it’s more of a choke now.
That’s a contradictory statement. How can it be not a choke but more of a choke at the same time? Doesn’t matter, I will see you on the field in Classic AV. Will be interesting to see what strats guilds like The Enclave will run.
Because you used to be able to sneak into the keep via the hole that was patched. Now the only way in is through the entrance by fwgy, hence a funnel. I’m also not on Grob anymore. My Lock is still there but I’m leveling elsewhere.
Ah well that’s unfortunate, thought you’d be up for the pvp action on Grobb since it’s going to be drama-filled premade BG action, just what you enjoy.
I’ll probably play both. Plenty of time before Bgs come out.
