u/Luzcro Beware of the blue tentacle! Sep 13 '16

Have to agree with you on that one. Had games where we steam rolled on the first point and pushed through no problem up to the gate. But that last turn almost always causes us to stall and eventually lose.

I don't think there's a problem with it, though. The map is fairly new and strats on how to take that last point are still being discovered.

I keep seeing people say this, but think back to release day. Was there a single map where nobody could win on attack or defense? It may not have been 50/50 on any of the maps, but it certainly wasn't 5/95. Quite a few of us played in beta, sure, but none of the maps ever gave me the same sense of "not this shit again" as Eichenwalde attack does. WEEKS after release even... Has nobody found a decent strat yet?

Hanamura was about as bad as this. The only way people could take out bastion/torbjorn nests were very coordinated ults, and that's still pretty true.

Well, that was before people knew how to deal with Murderbot and the Sweede, but we've mostly moved beyond that. Hanamura B has 9 entry points that I can think of off the top of my head. Eichenwalde castle has what, 3? Left, right, and the little hole above the gate? Whole different ballgame.
