The new arena map

Apologies I imagine there are already threads about this, but just experienced the new arena map for the first time and have to say …

  1. thank you blizzard for actually taking the time to give arena players some love by making a new map; and

  2. please revisit this map asap. The map looks nice but it feels incredibly bad to play on due to having los issues non-stop due to virtually any movement up/down a ramp! The design of this map is currently so bad that I think it should be taken out of the game temporarily until you can find time to redesign it. Maybe just make the current iteration flat and buff the pillar size idk, but currently this map shouldn’t be in the game in it’s current form (imo).

It’s like all the worst parts of RoV and blade’s edge in one arena

why the new map in shuff when robo hook point ashamane’s and sewers isn’t

blades was kind of stupid because in the arms race of knocks and mobility too many specs could doot you off every 12 seconds and the option of playing under felt bad because of camera angles and whatnot

Z-axis maps are just lame in general imo. IF they flattened all z-axis maps, i would be happy with that lol.

this is why we can’t have PvP contents cause every time something comes out people say it’s the worst one yet

I mean, feedback is the only way things will get better. Kudos to Blizzard for taking the time to make a new map, that is really appreciated by everyone (or most) I’m sure, but they clearly didn’t playtest the map, and in it’s current state, it makes for a really unfun experience overall.

This abomination needs to burn

It’s definitely not a fair arena. I’m not sure what Blizzard was thinking when they made it.

I wish they’d be more transparent about the things they do, but then again a lot of the high end pvp community are incredibly unhinged and I wouldn’t want to communicate with them either.

Except they don’t use alts to pretend to be other people, so who really is the unhinged one?

The things you say man I wonder if you’re a real human sometimes. And then I look at your mog and I go no way is that a real person.

Yeah honestly it’s just constant microanalyzing and looking for the potential issues, not anything else.

I have been enjoying the new map as a healer main, there really isn’t anything that bad about it or it being nearly as egregious as people are making it out to be.

I haven’t had the issue of losing LoS there. You can’t just play pillar all game and are forced to be out in the open from time to time similar to blades edge. I’d much rather have this map than blades edge.

You have 0 room to talk when your character looks like how he does. Your character screams “I need to be punted 50 yds through a field goal”.

That’s almost as crazy as your rshaman hasn’t been good since wod statements because my mog is insane. You really don’t know what’s you’re talking about when it comes to anything apparently.

Your mom knows I’m real

I like when you have no argument and then try condescending remarks to hide the fact that you have no argument, makes me wonder if you really are a functional adult in society.

You must actually get bullied a lot in real life

Why because I refuse to get into political arguments with you on the arena forums? I try to avoid goofballs like you who come to these forums to start weird arguments, meanwhile you don’t even play arena! Its honestly weird to me and you’ve already gotten more replies than you deserve.

Bro the only time I’m ever going to mention anything political is in response to someone else.

Meaning if I’ve ever said anything to you about that kind of a topic that’s because you brought it up.

Like I said earlier you don’t want to have those kind of discussions don’t bring it up.

I don’t play baseball or football anymore I still talk about them.

It gets buggy as I get LOS even with everyone standing on the center platform

Tbh i wouldn’t wanna be in a room alone with either of your characters

Look at your character name. Checkmate.
