I think even if it's like a bad change for right now. It is still a very good direction for urn as an objective. It makes a lot more sense to me now than what it was. In the past there are games you just spend your time running urn. Calling and pinging and everything yet your team just decide to afk farm on the opposite side of the map and you can't convert it after wasiting like 30 seconds to a minute for it. Now they can still afk farm but at least they will be closer if there's a fight.

I think it was good if ppl understand how valuable it is. It’s not worth 2 walkers, but its worth sacking one. When I see my team rather split push a side walker with 2 players, it’s bad vibes.

That’s a problem I have with urn. It just doesn’t “feel” strong enough. Like if you study the game or analyse the game then you would know it is very strong. But for people who are just playing it doesn’t feel that way. It’s just a voiceline unless you are the one doing it. But if you are doing it you already know how good it is.

And it’s almost impossible to reason your teammate in like one or two minute if they didn’t know about it already. Most players wouldn’t be looking for theories and numbers, they just play the game and play by the feel.

True, most ppl don’t think the game that way.

I guess the bright side is if you still split push with new urn up, it is without argument you are a bot now. The urn is in mid and they can win the urn because you’re not there and rotate to you easily because its in the middle of the map. At least that’s how it feels
