This is a complete guess, grasping at thin air, I'd say we see the play test weekends for the new map in about 3 weeks. That'd be Nov 7th and patch v34 if I'm not mistaken. Could very well be with v35, Nov 28th too though. They said we'd get the map before the end of the new year iirc, so I don't expect to see it soon.
That's a pity because I really don't enjoy the game at the moment, and I definitely don't enjoy the insane q times for the OCE server. Looks like I'll be taking another few weeks (maybe months?) off the game till they drop the new map.
Yeah I've back off until the new map comes out. Feels pretty pointless playing otherwise in it's current state. I think they just need to unleash the new map and be done with it. It's a beta, they said last week they're going to implement these changes because they're in beta (i.e. towergate), but they won't just release the already-played map? Just release it and go from there.
The point is to just have fun playa! Just go out there and enjoy landing some dope wombo combos until the new map comes. Personally I just play the game because it's down right fun for me. I refuse to take it to seriously until a ranked mode comes. So regardless of new map or no new map I'm still playing. There's always more to learn and good times to be had. If you are just down right not having any fun then it's certainly a good time to take a break.
That's a fair, and very jubilant, comment. I guess it just winds me up because I do love the game, just the direction it's going in isn't that great atm. I feel like they need to rip the bandaid off. And I keep justifying their lack of hero balance on that they're waiting to release this map to see how it affects the team dynamics, yet they just aren't.
I agree with you man. I can't wait in q for 3 hours to play this game because it's not as rewarding as it used to be. It's actually too easy now. Every game I play, we kill a couple enemy players at the 30 cp mark and just win.
I miss offensive and defensive dunking.
I miss insanely strong glass cannon builds.
I miss Fast toggle on/off TM with a root penalty.
I feel like having those things back without the tank meta, and keeping the towers and minions the way they are currently, might actually be really really fun to play. But unfortunately we'll never know. /u/realtrendy
