The control map is basically symmetrical, but…
The control map has both teams on the offensive side, and due to the nature of attacking at the same time aiming at the target, part of the design is excludedMost of the map is symmetrical for both teams around the objectiveis made to
However, on May 31, 2023, at the Contenders North America Spring Series Playoffs Day 2, “Trick Room vs. WISP,” thatSome of the design aspects affected the outcome of the matchhas become a hot topic.
Small objects determine victory or defeat
The problem this time is the map “Lijiang Tower” “Night Marketnear the spawn pointCylinder object at the top of the stallis.
In the above game, Trick Room’s MagicM8Ball (Lucio) slipped in with a “wall ride” using this cylinder and succeeded in generating overtime just before WISP secured the target. From there, Winston’s “Primal Rage” bought time while waiting for allies to join, and Trick Room scored points in the same flow.
As a result, Trick Room, who also won the first match “Control Center”, won the first map Lijiang Tower.
The cylinder object used at this time has a squid sign (squid grill shop)On the red side, on the target point sidebut there is a pig sign (meat bun shop)On the other side of the blue sideexists inBattles are rare here, and some heroes ignore the difference, but in this caseCylinders determine the outcome of a matchIt has become a result.
The overall result of the match ended in a victory for Trick Room, but with a close score of 3-2, it seems that there are many viewers who think, “If overtime had not occurred at this time.”
MagicM8Ball player’s view
James ‘MagicM8Ball’ Macpherson of Trick Room who is the partyStream with confidenceexplains that “this move can only be done by the red side”,I want development to recognize it in order to maintain game balanceandtalking。
For us general gamers, cylindrical objects and billboards are just objects that express the world view, but from the perspective of competitiveness, especiallyA player whose career is at stakeFrom my point of view it seems to be a big difference.
Unfair designs exist on other maps
These differences exist not only in Lijiang Tower “Night Market” but also in Ilios “Ruins”.This isHot topic on Reddit over 5 years agoIt has been requested to fix it, but there is still no change.
Compared to this case, the degree of influence and attention on the game has increased, but I am wondering what kind of response will be made.
