I think we've briefly mentioned this on your stream yesterday, so I'm not sure if you forgot about it, if you disagree or if you wanted to work on this in a later version. But personally I feel like the gap between the point and the bridge(?) should be the same on each side of the point. Right now it's much easier to spam the point from the right side of the spawn.

Another thing I noticed is that the window above the main shutter allows players to call when the medic walks out of the left spawn. Your sniper can quickly open the shutter and kill the medic. I'm not sure if it's easy to do.

I think you can solve both problems by copying the left side of last point (second picture) and use that for the right side as well, this way you eliminate that angle from the shutter. But hey if you disagree it's totally fine, it's just a suggestion :]

Thanks Jon!

That's also what Jon said in Discord (after 20 days)

Even if mumble was required in EU, most people aren't going to call. Personally I prefer to play with music in the background without any comms in lobbies. If you want to play with comms you can play mixes or pugchamp. Even in NA I played a few (mumble required) lobbies where only 2-3 people were talking and the other players didn't say a single thing.

This is also the reason why I think the Pick/Ban system doesn't really work with the 'map testing during a season'. People are just going to ban it, thus it's not getting played and tested and the map maker doesn't get enough feedback as with the old system.

Honestly I wouldn't mind if prolands (and maybe granary) wasn't played for one or two seasons. Just give other maps a chance, they can always be added again next season of the season after if there's no potential in the newer maps.

Even though the changes to prolands were nice, it didn't really make the map better imo. For example, it's a lot easier to get on the point if someone is behind the point. As far as I understood the map, if you are defending and there's a player behind the point during the fight, you can just ignore him for a bit because he can't do anything in that position. He had to go all the way around the point to cap, but in the newer version he can just walk on the point before you can even see him from top.

If one (or more) maps are good enough, how are you going to decide which maps of the current map pool are going to be removed? There was a poll season 25

Any updates?

Pre-season cup with maps like logjam, reckoner and even metalworks will be sick

yeah, playing heavy or engi in a highlander really matters in 6s. the other two players are offclassing and Boshy is even playing medic

You did the same thing last season, when you won low while you played high (6s and hl) with at least 2 more players having mid/high experience in 6s or highlander. But that was fine right? Why do you care so much now? O wait...

What do we want to achieve with all these changes? Is our goal to change the crossbow because it's annoying to play against or is our goal to stimulate players to use other primary weapons?

Imo the uber build and passive reload are fine the way it is now. I do agree that max healing should be less and that the reload time should be a bit longer.

If you want change the crossbow because it's annoying to play against, removing the uber build and passive reload doesn't make any sense because it doesn't remove the 'annoying part' of the weapon. It just slows the game down because it takes longer to get uber, and if you want to quickly shoot an arrow to save your roamer or something and you haven't reloaded yet, you just wait 3 seconds and do nothing while both of you are waiting. So before most pushes you have to wait 3 seconds to reload, in case you have to shoot an arrow during a fight.

And if you want to make the other primary weapons better, why? Most scouts only use the scattergun, while all the other primaries are terrible as well. But that's not a problem because the crossbow is way better than the other weapons compared to the scattergun and the other primaries?
