I'd really have to say Hollywood.

Playing that map is headache inducing if you're a melee character due to how much shit is scattered around everywhere.

This is the shit I despise. Every single time we need to attack that point we get BTFO 9/10 times. Last time we did this map it was two torjborns and bastion mowing us down senseless.

I hope you don't mind Nepal because Nepal is the best.

All of them.
>>
>>338973745
this for sure, it's overly defender sided on the last point.

Also Ilios and Hollywood best, although ruins is super plain, but well and lighthouse are some of the best maps.

Route 66 isn't bad at all. Hanamura's designer can go get raped to death by elephants though.
>>
>>338974243
The game mode called "Assault" of which Anubis is part of is literally the worst game mode, we need less of it, not more.
>>
>>338974123
The first half is pretty fair and reasonable, but everything goes FUBAR once the assault on point B starts.
>>
>>338974341
Dorado doesn't either.

But yeah I hate those maps, CP + push cart are all right. Attacker/defender isn't that great.

King of the hill is great though. They really need more modes.

There's also volskya.

>>338974548

Point B isn't bad, there are ways around the choke point, 4 ways around it in fact.

Point A is the shit one, only 1 way around the choke point but it's well within sight of the chokepoint so turrets and bastions will still get you if you try to go through it. The Russian map can be pretty bad like that too, but you can rush into a side passage after passing the choke and maybe survive.

Annubis is like that too..a bad choke but there is a sidepassage you can use to flank if you can survive like half a second running through the chokepoint. I've gone up it and destroyed turrets, bastions, snipers all on that mid ledge through the side passage, allowing my team to break the choke and push.

Hanamura though.. Fuck that map. First off, not everyone can get through the "side passage".

Half the characters who can are defense characters rather than assault (junkrat, hanzo, widowmaker).. basically leaving Pharah and Genji... maybe D.Va and Winston? I don't know I haven't tried them on it.

But 9/10 they will have a turret set up to where it can watch both that window and the choke simultaneously and symmetra will have a car wash there.

So you're essentially forced to try and push through the choke as a team while getting mowed down by bastions and turrets.

Seriously, attacking the last point is like pulling teeth. It also kneecaps some hero's like Pharaih and Winston because of the roof and architecture. And those fucking platform sentries.....

I can't decide between Napal or Hanamura(On Attack) as the worst.
>>
>>338976772

There's objects in the way blocking line of fire from turrets and bastions at the start, there's tunnels and side passages so you never feel completely shut down as attack

What's so bad about Hanamura is how unbalanced it is in defense's favor.

>get butthurt because african city in the future is nice

This is what we call an "agenda", kids.
>>
>>338977616

my take is that the only possible explanation is that the Omnics built the entire city for them and do all the labor in the city. The Africans just live and party in relative peace because they're in a society where no nigger has to work and they're all sustained through generous gibsmedat due to the robots not really needing money.

In real life, Africa is one of the most war torn regions in the world, second only to the Middle East, due to clashes between Islam and Christianity, and scarcity of resources. The Rwandan genocide was literally due to a shortage of arable land, one tribe started clearing the forest where another tribe lived in order to create more farmland. They started fighting, fast forward, 70% of one tribe is dead.

Poverty and religious differences just breed war like crazy.

So I guess Numbani is a future where Omnics take care of all the resource and material needs, and labor, and everyone converted to Zen Buddhism to end the war between religions.

20ish. It was 30, but, after realizing it wasn't just lack of practice that was making my aim shit I turned it down and things improved a bit.

May try 15, which I think is what it started on...but I still want to be able to turn.

>>338973745
This map is super easy. Flank left as any character that can fly/wall scale and in the room with the health pack fly up into pic related. Tell your team to charge as soon as you start capping the point since everyone and their mother on the enemy team will rush you. Webm related.

The only hard map to play is Volskaya Industries. You can flank left as either lucio genji phara and d.va near the benches and health kit on the left side past the attack spawn but the objective is in such an open area you'll get fucked easily if you don't have people assisting you.

Serious question though; when the fuck are they gonna nerf Mei? She's way to good in 1v1 encounters and her ice spray can catch up with a boosting D.Va and slow her down. And she has WAY to much health considering she can self heal and become invuln to damage such as D.Va's nuke.

>>338984096

Unless you're Bastion, probably not. If it's showing cracks absolutely, otherwise be careful because you might end up with no ammo loaded when a real threat shows up.
>>
>>338983730

No the problem is more like how there's no ubercharge like in TF2.
Y'know, the quintessential solution to getting through a chokepoint.
Not hoping the only people who die getting through aren't the medic with an ult on standby, and giving up completely if the medic does go down first.

In this game, the closest to an uber is Winston's Primal Rage and MEI CAN FUCKING FREEZE IT WITH LMB.
Alternatively Zeya with her ult but still.

>>338984096
It depends who you are

Like if you're Genji, GG.
>>
>>338984826
>there's no ubercharge

....which is better
>>
>>338984096
God I see this a lot. Lone wolf people are annoying. And I hate when they go as close to spawn as possible just to be fuck faces.

Tracers and Reinhardts do this the most often in my experience.
>>
>>338973745
There's an egypt map?
>>
>>338984826
Zenyatta's ult is kind of an uber charge, he gets invuln and everyone gets massive healing.
>>
>>338984978

If you can sit around waiting to get that ult up before you break through, an enemy Mei can undo all of you with hers.
Alternatively if there's not that much co-ordination going on Zenyatta's team won't be staying in the glowing radius and get mowed anyway.

They can easily regenerate their shield, so it's probably not worth it.

>Tfw Bastion has become my go-to pubbie bunker buster on Hanamura point B
Feels odd. If you time your appearance with your teams push and the enemy team doesn't instantly switch gears/even notice you when you pop up on the flank, you can wipe the point clean in seconds.

Even if I die, pubbie teams aren't coordinated enough to turn mass fire to me while the rest of my team is charging the point before I've BRRRT'd down half of them, and then the game is almost always won at that point. Of course, if you have a shit team that just trickles all game, nothing can win you that point.
>>

Imagine that. There are counters in this game and there's not a universal "you win now" button. And you're telling me that you can't win without coordination? Get da FUCK outta 'ere!

>Counters to breaking through a chokepoint on Blizzard's chokepoint oriented map design

k

Would have preferred that works on the point but then Mei can do whatever the fuck she wants with objectives thanks to freezing for whatever loving fuck reason she can even though it's equivalent to pushing a payload, capturing a point or carrying a flag in TF2 while uber is up.
>>
>>338985275
If you can sit around healing the one person who doesn't charge off to their death or getting sniped yourself, an enemy pyro can undo all of you with an airblast.
Alternatively if there's not much co-ordination going on Medic's team won't charge in behind the uber and the enemy team will just set back up again anyway.

Her Ult means "no fun allowed ganks."
She can instantly kill 2 of the deadliest characters in the game, Tracer and Zen, with a single bodyshot fully charges, ANY 200 HP or less character, 75% of the cast, with a single headshot, has an exceptionally fast escape, Venom Mine for a free 75 damage, a great SMG if you get close, and can do her job at being the best the farthest from the rest of the team, so you can't reach her remotely easily.

CTF would be a great addition, but it would probably be "Pharah: the game"
>>
>>338985753
Can't speak for Tribes but TF2 CTF is absolute garbage.

It's obvious the game is taking notes from TF2 like getting Payload but another note TF2 proved is that class based games with defensive centric classes make CTF no fun.

Devs made a decent point that 2 flag CTF would be hard to balance.

I mean, what do you do with characters like Tracer or Mei if they grabbed the flag? You can't just turn their abilities off or make them move slower, especially not Tracer.

CTF is shit in TF2 and pretty much shit in any game.
In games where you can go fast you can almost have fun with it, but it's all about running fast from point A to point B and occasionally shooting people, the actual taking and delivering flags just sucks.

That's exactly what they did in tf2.

You can't carry the intel if you're bonked or something. Having limited mobility with the flag isn't that out there.

And even then CTF in TF2 sucks. It's extremly stalmatey and has long moments of alot of nothing being achieved. The only time CTF is semi-decent in TF2 is one of those attack.defend one flag maps like HAARP and even then they're not that great.

Nah. I played over 2000 hours of tf2 but even I have to agree that the supports in overwatch are not only more fun but provide more solutions to singular problems. You just need teammates that aren't autismus maximus. And those players exist in both games.
>>
>>338986641

Apart from CTF in TF2 being one of the most popular maps for the community, before the community got so shit they only TDM.

Competitive is not a good indicator because just like Overwatch it's not actually a solid game at the core for that. There's a slim possibility that might change for TF2 soon with an update, but it's only confirmation they're working on anything period right now.

At most, a "Siege" mode. Defend gets a fortress and in-match points to spend on various defenses. Attack gets in-match points to spend on siege machines and the like to break in and complete an objective, probably a capture point or destroy a machine.

Where in the world did you get that from.

It's a mode in tf2. You stand on a point and collect intel, then you bring it back to your base.

Special delivery was mostly just valve giving up, like most of their new game modes
>>
>>338987268

I agree.
>>
>>338987203
It has 3 main avenues of approach (not including the basement or alternate routes in and out of each corridor).

1) Main Door, which I assume you mean the Death Corridor.

2) Left door via boosting, grappling, blink across etc.

3) Right door via the ramp near the pagoda. Brings you out so you can climb up to the top floor.

I know about all those other paths they just are of little consequence.
there has to be heroic pushers down the main path until the other paths can actually be utilized properly.
it's just too open. I guess it's fine to have a map like that but I have to order my Bug teammates around or queue with friends.

Point B isn't even the issue. It's point A. There only one path for anyone that can't walk climb, fly, blink ect. And even then it's right next to the main path and can be easily guarded.

I try and rapidly swap between speed and healing for offense and defense and I go max speed to try and get behind people and push them towards my team mates. But I can't aim his gun for shit, it's worse than the shurikens.

The robot update was mvm, which was years before robot destruction.

What happens is there's an intel where an intel would normally be (more or less) but instead of grabbing it and running, you have to sit there / cap it to build up the points on it, and then you have to bring it back like an intelligence to get the points.

Unless there is no enemies around, or you out number them greatly you always want to be in healing and keep the amp for when shit gets real. His speed buff also effects the payload but not that much. now this >>338988031 is a legitment problem and can only be solved by telling your team mates to stay near you.

every time I play D.Va I take so much damage I have to bail and boost away before I can kill anything. I can't ambush anyone and kill them alone because the entire team always sensibly sticks together with a lucio healing them.

I've done well as D.Va a few times, but never in situations where I wouldn't have done well as literally any other hero too. She just doesn't seem to excel at anything except minor harrasment and even then tracer is better.

I wish I could git gud at her though, I have the Junebug skin.
