Bauhaha.

I remember Watchtower, don’t recall junction though

pah, arena.

ctba to make a new map? just lame to take average community maps tbh. freight FTW

I am actually quite happy with the choice of community maps on this one. a gravelpit-like map has been asked about for ages and arena_watchtower is a type of arena map we didn’t have before (in the official maplist).

i’m happy with this part of the update :)

Junction is deeply flawed. It’s super cramped even for 6v6 (gonna be hilarious on 32 player pubs) and is a maze of choke points, so explosive spam wins the day. It also has really low ceilings so you can barely rocket/sticky jump anywhere. It’s so tiny that sniper is 100% useless on it too.

American leagues tried it in competitive play and dumped it pretty quickly. A common strategy for offense is to build a SG behind one of the exit doors and it covers the entire A or B point already.

It also has Fastlane-esque problems with C, it’s really difficult to take and you can defend it from spawn. A & B are basically impossible to hold because they’re literally right next to where the offense spawns.

So imagine a Gravel Pit where all you do is defend a ground-level C right next to the spawn doors, you can’t viably defend A or B, you can’t rocket jump or double jump anywhere meaningful, and the spawn times are wonky. That’s Junction.

Watchtower is a horrible map. D:
