Given the distance to the last point, would ubering in Scouts be a viable strategy to close the gap?

This is also why I wouldn’t encourage straight out uber vs uber pushes, which will always leave you at a disadvantage, but rather experiment with non-uber pushes and trying to surprise the defending opponent. I will definitely give this version another season in the league before I decide on any changes; most people seem to see the map as rather slow, but they still find it quite fun.

I think teams try this but because of the very advantageous positioning posibilities of a defending heavy it is very hard to for instance send a soldier kamikaze to just force them, as the heavy will nope.avi him into oblivion. Same goes for scout rush. I’ve tried this with 2 scouts. If you go left the combo can still be reactive enough to switch right. If you go right and it’s stickies, there’s a big chance that your scouts will be launched out of your uber range. Pit push seems the best route to be able to engage the enemy regardless of their position, but due to the severe height disadvantage you’ll get outspammed before you can even properly initiate your push.

In the end it’s kinda like old gully (with the non-nerfed spawndoors/cabinets) in terms of toughness to push. It’s not impossible, and to be fair it’s nice to have a map where, when a team gets wiped on mid, there is still a chance to defend their last. Uber v Uber can just be extremely tiresome at times.

shouji can you fix the wallhack shadows in the lobby

didnt valve say some time ago they fixed those bugs?! or was it just a dream?

Dunno if you know but you can’t change class near this wall in the BLU spawn:

that’s the left wall if you’re looking at the spawn and right wall if you’re coming out of the spawn. Doesn’t happen on RED side.

To fix the shadow bugs, you need an info_no_dynamic_shadow entity. Then just select the faces that you don’t want shadows to appear on.

Guess it’s pointless now though…

edit: or you could set the shadows to have 0 pitch, which is what Valve did in Badlands… Snakewater uses +25 so the shadows are angled.

I’ll have a look at this if there’s ever a new update for snakewater! Thanks!

lol :D

What in the jesus christ…..
