After several games on it, I think i've come to my own personal consensus and that it's just a badly designed map. It is pretty much the opposite of Haven, where instead of Defenders having rotation advantage, it's the attackers, and that's probably why the map feels so terrible.

​

I think the map layout is confusing, counter-intuitive and a free-for-all. As a defender, you have to either fully commit and abandon one site completely, or split out so evenly, where you have to hope you/others can hold out whilst the team rotates onto the attacked site.

A site is so open, and as a defender, you only have two angles (not counting the doors), to peek from and if you decide to defend from Tree, you either allow free entry onto site or hope they push through A-Door.

B-site is really hard to push into but also to defend, there are 4 separate doorways that one can come out of. Playing re-take into that site feels pretty impossible, in my experience. Not to mention that B-Main is the direct connector between B-site and C-site, so it is ridiculously easily for Attackers to rotate from B to C.

C-Site is the easiest to defend because you are pretty much only looking at one angle with quite a few corners to peek from, but it is also a miserable site to re-take since Waterfall and Hall are very easy to defend/push into for the attackers.

​

Had a game today as Sage, defence first. we went 3-9 and the moment we got onto attack, it was a one-sided wipe pretty much, think the enemy team only won two rounds, and we went from 3 won rounds, all the way to 13. The only reason we found it so easy to win on attack is by pushing into B-Main, and playing based on how the defenders positioned themselves, if site is heavily defended, then an easy rotate into C, wall off Waterfall and then defend Hall unless you hear C-Door rotating (All odds considered, rotating from A site through attacker spawn is super long-winded so it's highly unlikely for someone to do.)

​

I think they need to make rotating for defenders easier? Then it would feel a bit better to play.
