Reikland Factory - Destro Guard by Steamtank Entrance

[Zaxxond]

Hi,

I've submitted this already to the bug tracker and the report was closed down to working as intended.

The Destro guard's aggro range near the Destro side entrance to Steamtank is too close to the entrance. The proximity of the guard to the entrance gives a competitive advantage to Destro due to player behavior of using this guard as a safety net. The aggro range of the guard does not allow Order enough room to operate outside of the entrance without triggering the aggro of the guard.

Below are a few examples of Destro behavior using the guard as a competitive advantage in fight.

1. Pulls/punts into guards.
2. Destro healer group heals by outside entrance and then runs back to guard when Order MDPS engages.
3. Destro RDPS free casts from behind the guard into the entrance way.
4. Destro retreating/kiting immediately to guard when engaged by Order.


Please consider moving the Destro guard back. The position of the guard gives a clear competitive advantage to Destro in this SC. The aggro range of this guard is too close to the established fighting area in this map.

Respectfully, if this request is declined, can the thought behind why this guard is so close to the fighting area be provided?

Many thanks,

Zaxxy

Well its not much an advantage at all due to the fact the the mid bo doesnt yeld as many points as the 2 back bos. So if a couple destro is hiding behind guards thats a couple not contributing yo the sc. Meaning that the back bos are easier to take.

You can completely egnore mid bo and still win with a large gap in points.

The OP is not about the maintaining the 2 outside points which is the known and established strategy to win the SC. You mention that it's not much of an advantage, but there still is an advantage with the proximity of the guard to the entrance.

Its the same for Destro, this is working as intended, if you want to overextend and get caught by the guards you die. The simple solution is to not run out from the middle BO on the side of the enemy spawn.

Locking

EDIT: Torque informed me that there was a discrepancy in the distance and that its been adjusted for the next update, however the result will be the same, dont overextend.
