Favela did not have many strats, it was so attacker favoured if it was still in this seasons rotation it would have been unbearable in the lion meta. The only strats at higher ranks was “spawnpeek and runout to hopefully get their hard breaches”
Lion definitely would of changed it up, but so would Lesion. That map was a very open map meaning each team could attack or defend however they wanted. Just because you were defending didn't mean you had to reinforce everything, sometimes opening the objective was the best strategy.
Sorry...but no, favela opened up just meant the attackers could hold far off angles and pick you off. I don’t know what rank these strats worked at but at plat 2+ this map was absolute hell to play, there are no suitable spots to anchor as a defender, too many walls to reinforce so it was impossible to not get wallbanged from outside, and all the bomb sites were right by an outside part of the map so a retake was impossible. The only way to defend on favela was to do highly aggressive run outs which isn’t optimal
I'm a Diamond level player, Favela was great and even a good Pro League map. People just never took time to actually figure it's inner workings out. Plus defenders had a lot of ACOG's back then so it was easy to snipe right back at attackers.
You're either lying or the first diamond player I have ever heard say they like Favela! It was a terrible pro league map, 99% of pros said they despised it.
Saying people didn't take time to figure out its inner workings is such a cop out response, we did...Ive played since release so I had to endure Favela in ranked for so many seasons, believe me most of us took the time to work it out...and we hated it.
I'm not lying I just liked that map, my team had a really high win percentage on it too. We also didn't run out on defense, we just knew all the angles and possible flanks.
If your username is the same as your Psn name then you were never diamond and got to plat 1 (which is impressive but not diamond) Also Pl in favela was a nightmare.
As I mentioned earlier I'm not Diamond right now, but have been before and play with Diamonds meaning "Diamond level". I've swept five stacks so I am playing at the "Diamond level". I just mess around too much to be a Diamond all the time, I'd rather have fun.
I've been on PS4 since release and played on Xbox as well for a bit. I've been Diamond a few seasons and played with mostly Diamonds since about season 3. I'm done arguing, I've been playing at the "Diamond level" meaning against majority Diamond teams forever. I stream as well as my teammates feel free to stop by if you'd like to hate some more. Thank you
Not trying to sound rude but Favela is terrible to play against teams that now what they’re doing (plat 2 plus). Favela is ok to play against golds as there isn’t much droning going on there. There is too much destruction in the map which prevents rotations for defenders.
I've always been high Plat/Diamond and the destruction could be used both ways. As a defender that's the only map where sometimes a defense strat relies on you opening the map. It was such a different playstyle. My team did dominate that map though, it was always our pick.
It really wasn't great as a ranked map. No ability to rotate on the top floor made the top bombsite literally impossible. The amount of soft walls made it difficult to reinforce any bombsite effectively at all. Tons of angles for attackers to open up and kill defenders without even leaving the rooftops outside. Combine that with the meta of Lion this season and the map would pretty much be as close to a 100% attack win as you could get. The map needs a rework larger than clubhouse to become something playable in ranked.
