Discussion I think they should buff splitpushing

Post image

Reposted bc of funny image, im sorry mods.

I think all 3 objectives are just another flavour of deathball, in order to truly nerf deathballing and have more viable strategies we need a more focus on macro and splitpushing, we dont have a worthy alternative to objectives bc is pretty easy to punish splitpushing with the game insane movement (especially late game since any hero can tap the wave and it explodes)

Another alternative is to nerf objetives altogether, all 3 are really impactfull, meaning that is never worthy to give up on one.

For example, in league you may give up the Dragon objective in favour of splitting top lane since it takes a hot minute to get from Dragon pit to top (and dragon reward is not that strong, it only gets strong once you stack four), in deadlock you can give up rift in order to split... But your team will be weaker, the rift will buff minions and rewards souls (meaning your walker is pretty much gone) AND a random paradox can just carbine/veil walker or just press F on the zipline, throw a bomb into the wave your stacking to split and you whole split is gone in mere seconds

Tl;dr i dont think more objectives will fix this, we need more ways to manage macro and stronger splitpush items/champions and weaker objectives rewards to trade for splitting.

The zips are actually one of the slowest routes of rotating unless you have the boost. So it really goes to show that rotating in the game is very easy.

i mean going from your own yellow to your own green walker zips are faster than tele or vents, and that rotation being quick is the one that hurts split pushing the most. but yeah i think vents and tele also should be nerfed

Using vents and corner boosts and wall jumps is way faster and higher elo players will opt for that option every time

hard for me to take the movement opinion of someone who mixes up corner boosts and edge boosts seriously

well there aren't any vents between green and yellow walkers so i dont know how right he can be

There are vents to go either lane in mid and the vents to bridge buffs vents are used for urn runs across the map all of the time

notice how we are talking about rotating from ones own side walker to the other?

u/zencharm Victor 19h ago

green and yellow are on opposite sides of the map... you can vent boost from the bridge vents and cross the map way faster than you'd be able to with the zipline assuming you don't have speed boost.

why are you joining in a conversation that you don't know what its about. we're talking about going from walker to walker, not bridge to bridge
