302447, Not sure yet how I feel about the new map...

For one, I dig how so much different it feels from the other maps. Hanamura and Volskaya felt same-y in their structure: worthless area -> choke -> point -> worthless area -> choke -> point.

This one has so many ANGLES. Snipe spots, hallways, wide open areas, flank routes all create crazy ways to get targeted. Playing Pharah feels like a duck in a shooting gallery, and Hanzo/Widow/Ana should shine here.

I think the best way to defend the points is to fall back and let the attackers come, since there's no easy choke point to congregate around. If that's the case, Torb/Sym/Bastion will be a nightmare to deal with on console.

Either way though, I do appreciate that Blizz is improving their map design. Oasis is great in how it doesn't feel like other KOTH and I suspect this one will be received similarly as well.
