The new map is too OPEN
It's too OPEN. There's barely enough cover to reward people with better positioning. Barely any chokepoints to punish risky pursuers. Geist bomb? Paige bookwyrm? Take a step to the left and you're safe. Dynamo's stomp can't even clear a wave. It's like bowling where you still leave one pin standing.
You use Mina's ult? Before you have to be mindful where to activate it, now since there's no obstruction you can shower the entire enemy team out in the open. What pillars? What buildings to hide in? How dare you play a game against a Mina?
Kelvin and Infernus can freely pursue anyone since there's barely any static doodads or ledges to navigate. You can run straight with no worries and you're guaranteed to hit every enemy. You should've dropped a slot for warp stone or majestic leap, or you should have had more stamina to escape the radius, duhh.
Buffs to Ivy, Vindicta, and GT. Navigating GT's ult isn't a problem anymore. No more kiting his ult to hit structures. Vindicta and Ivy can have complete air dominance. Well duhh you should have bought Knockdown and/or Phantom Strike. How many item slots are we down now?
How can poor Venator lock someone in when enemies can have 10 meters of free space to walk around his trap? Even max GT trap still can't cover a lane.
Mirage is gonna have a field day hitting max stacks on an enemy if he has the aim. Doesn't even need to aim, actually. Where else are they gonna hide?
Even the worst Sinclair players can hit bolts reliably when we've got wide open ground. Do I need to mention max rabbits?
Pocket can frog everyone EASY. McGinnis can pepper everyone with her ult EASY.
"Well, if everyone gets buffs, isn't it fair?" Are you guaranteed to have these specific characters on both sides of the team, and both sides of a lane? It's a stomp or get stomped.
Might as well remove ALL buildings and covers and give us the ability to shoot enemies at their spawn from our spawn. We went from dense, complex, urban jungle to straight up the Normandy landings on the Allied side.
No, a lot of the static fixtures can't even give you enough cover. Crouching behind it still exposes your upper body.
And why are Walkers soooo weak now? We're back to the Infernus meta running under objectives again.
The map is GREAT aesthetic-wise. Just please add some decent covers so you don't instantly have a disadvantage just because your character doesn't have a semi-automatic gun.
