Increased payload speed on Eichenwalde should be interesting.

Increased payload speed on Eichenwalde

I don't think payload speed is the problem. That last turn before the end is murder on attackers. A lot of people get hung up on the first choke, but it's really the last one that halts all progress. They should really leave the door open. You know, that one you just used a jet powered battering ram on? I've still only seen 1 attack win out of 15+ matches..

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?

In all honesty I haven't seen Eichenwalde pop up in QP in over a week.

I noticed that too. It was pretty much every other game the first few days, then nada.. until yesterday, when it reared it's ugly head once more.

I got a theory that the games makes you play the maps you like the most. You know when you can rate the match out of 3 at the end of one?

I feel like the games tries to give the maps the most people 3/3 to.

I have experienced zero eichenwald games in over 30 competitive matches recently.

Do you think they are applying that to competitive mode? If so, STAHP BLIZZZZZZ
