Did a WSG brawl earlier on my WW and I could not port with the flag.

My mw will be 100X more fun in fc maps if I’m no longer the designated flag holder, feels like a win/win to me

That brawl is a travesty. Actually, any version of WSG is a travesty.
Hold on you really don’t like warsong Gulch though? Why?

My thoughts exactly!
Hell yeah Brother! Maybe this expansion is saved!
Now Pres will just be the one people whine about. Start the countdown.

So, they slipped in this stealth nerf that significantly affects flag maps? I love all these unannounced changes we get. Surely, we shouldn’t know about it until we die in a BG trying to use our port only to have it fail. We don’t need to know about it ahead of time with the PTR because they plan to implement it no matter what, so a testing is pointless?

Tapestry, you’re thinking of tapestry.
Granted a flag isn’t technically a tapestry but details, go grab the pretty textile.

Some variety in FC would be nice. Will this be enough though? Also, does the void elf racial work with the flag?

There’s already a lot of variety. Prior to this patch, all of MW, Pres, VDH, Discipline, Druid, and Outlaw were strong, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Now there’s one fewer viable FC, because MW is a healer designed around kiting, and both Torpedo & Port are now disabled with flag/stacks, meaning they have as little kiting potential as Discipline, with none of the mitigative capability. (Meanwhile, none of VDH or Pres or Outlaw or Druid’s kiting potential or Z-axis are nerfed with flag.)
Would’ve been better to nerf rather than restrict, allowing MW to at least be viable. Removing Eminence with flag, for example, would’ve both increased CD of port by 15 seconds and removed the ability to use it in stun. It’d be quite easy to counter then. Or allow Transcendance to be used if talented into Kindred Spirits, making it similar to Verdant Embrace / Wild Charge requiring ally coordination.
In general, fewer things should be restricted with the flag. Paladin wouldn’t be considered a decent FC even if they could Divine Shield, for example. Why even restrict it?

Skill expression isn’t there for healers. Any ctf that is. It is usually the two healers carrying the flag while the rest of the team is trying to get the flag back. It’s honestly my least favorite mode in blitz and the most reliant on team comp. Need to get rid of it imo.

It’s great in organized rbgs, but terrible in random queue.
