very easy for defend due to the very close spawn the defenders have, just played a comp game where on both sides, the EV was held there for like 7 mins while the rest of the game was fairly fast
moving the spawn back a bit would help a lot in making this less of a chokepoint
the comp game was recorded, could upload it if someone wants to see what i mean
Some may say the defence is really easy, others may say it’s pretty unbalanced due to noobs and pros and veterans everywhere trying to play the game, so show me that video!
wouldnt say there were any noobs there (except for suncommander ofc)
both teams were premade i believe, theirs was a pickup however while ours was a full team but out first time playing with sun and MF, I’ve noticed this happen in a lot of other games between full teams too
I’ll upload the vids tomorrow, i’ve got about 8gb of video so I’ll have to compress it all first, maybe will only upload the relevant parts
@Kroad to be honest I think suncommander was the best player of your team, and you were the worst XD but yea I think I sort of see your point, the only solution to that is knowing what they are gonna do, like you know they are gonna go over and repair with the EV, but I think that most of people don’t know how to use their abilities to their fullest, and when to use them at that
When the EV is destroyed right next to the final destination for the escort the defenders spawn right next to it repeatedly, while the attackers spawn at the end of the road. It also means the attackers have to repair it while completely exposed.
I think it’s fair to say neither team played optimally, I know our team messed up a lot and with more coordinated effort we could break the defense faster but the point still stands that if the EV is destroyed right next to the final parking spot it’s significantly harder for the attackers to repair than any other location in the map.
With new game(and honestly always) defending is simply easier than attacking with mixes/unpracticed teams. This happens all the time because attack coordination isn’t as easy with a mix/new team than defense coordination is. If you balance for this now, the game will just become way too easy as attacking becomes more organized. Let the maps be what they are(ofcourse still do texture optimisation and stuff like that but dont change the layout), let a good steady meta in competitive develop and if there are still trends like this then devs/people should/can look at needed changes. Doing it this early with very little data is just simply too soon to call it.
Don’t think suncommander is a noob, more like he was focused on healing and reviving then getting kills if anything else.
Any who that being said, I actually kind of agree with you about the last point being unbalanced. That rock in the front of the zone is a pain in the ass, the team that controls the rock controls the flow so to speak.
Lol, ok I will guess I go into more detail of why I think the rock is so important.
It directly blocks the objective. Which prevents the attacking team from directly firing into the area and having to use explosive to clean the area out. Defenders on the other hand get a covered route to the rock.
Defenders have a route from spawn that allows them to direct attack the attackers before they are even close to the objective.
Yeah, don’t think it’s worth changing much if anything at this point; just something to point out. Up to the devs what they do with the info, would consider it basic feedback rather than a request for change.

suncommander is our friend Kroad was joking calling him a noob; also this thread isn’t about the rock for the third objective, it’s about the 2nd objective when the EV gets really close to the final escort position.
