Vermethys✭✭✭✭They're abysmal, especially Istirus -- it's become such a tiny moshpit of AoEs. No more strategy but staying glued with a healer and there's hardly any opportunity to escape attackers. Ald Carac is not as bad, to be honest. At least there's some breathing room.
What's fun in larger maps, like Arcane University and old Istirus, is that DMs on those same maps feel different because the fight can take place in several different places depending on the match you're in.
Right now, I think Imperial City and other BG modes are far more enjoyable than those new air-tight moshpits.Edited by Vermethys on August 19, 2019 7:33PMPC EU CP1300+

✭The fact that you have to play too often as 3 vs 4 vs 4 fks me way more up. 3 BGs today: all 3 with only 2 mates ... such a *** system
I understand that is frustrating, but to be honest, its not as pressing of a concern. These new maps have many players considering auto quitting them. Thats how bad to play they are, especially in high mmr fights.They're abysmal, especially Istirus -- it's become such a tiny moshpit of AoEs.

Isitrus is a particular offender. The massive targeting issues along with too much cover lead to narrow corridor fights which arent fun at all. And if you dont have a a healer? GG.
Another problem with that map is that players up top can target players in the middle of the map, but not vice versa, unless the player on top is at the very edge of the arena. This leads to everyone staying out of the middle, which is the "arena" they were trying to push. -

Hundreds of comments about removing premades from solo queue, countless threads about performance. Nothing about forcing players into incredibly tight and poorly made maps. -

For example the Istirus - arena deathmatch map is fast paced which creates a huge mayhem which is fun imo.
Its nice that you like to undermine my opinion because i'm just do it to be contrary. Nice base for a normal discussion.Edited by Lazarus_Rising on August 21, 2019 6:14PMalso known as Overlich. -

I assumed bad faith due to the fact that quite literally no one I have spoken with prior to you had the slightest positive opinion on the new maps. And several days later, you are still the only person Ive heard express anything positive about them.

HalvarIronfist✭✭✭✭Just like multi bidding. Nobody wanted this, nobody likes this. We're all confused why this happened. Yay.
