AV Map needs changing (coming from a Horde player)

I understand that, but at the same time, in a pug bg that kind of thing (the IB GY situation) is a double-edged sword.

Why? Because pugs are disorganized, and many players rarely focus on the most efficient action instead chosing to just go off wherever they see fighting or a mob of players or towards another objective.

Yes, there are possible chokepoints on the map where a highly disciplined team can set up powerful defenses, but that isn’t one where I think it’ll turn into a constant irritant after the cave is moved south.

The thing about IB GY is that very often you see horde rezzers just rush north to find something else to do on the front lines or fight in the field of strife, even if horde is being pushed back (which typically only happened against premades or if the horde had a disastrous group composition like all DPS, no healers). How many times do you think I’ve seen 3-4 people at IBT and said something in chat and then 7-8 people rez at IB GY and go north instead of heading to IBT.

Right now, everything in AV comes down to the SH GY/IB GY/spawn distances. That’s what’s deterministic in AV right now. That’s what needs to be fixed right now.
