0s | Let's talk about Gekko. |
---|---|
1s | As you've all continued |
2s | to master Gekko, |
3s | and his band of buddies, |
4s | we've noticed |
5s | there doesn't seem |
5s | to be much risk |
6s | or cost to reclaim them. |
7s | And it's |
8s | challenging |
8s | to try and contest |
9s | Gekko from doing so. |
10s | We want Gekko |
11s | to play more |
11s | intentionally around |
12s | his buddies, |
12s | rather than just |
13s | picking them up |
14s | whenever he wants. |
14s | Additionally, |
15s | we're trimming |
15s | some of the |
16s | extraneous power |
17s | from Dizzy's |
17s | long up-time |
18s | increasing Wingman |
19s | and Dizzy’s reliability, |
21s | and lightly nerfing |
21s | Thrash by one ult point. |
23s | We hope these |
23s | things won't |
24s | dramatically impact |
25s | Gekko's power. |
25s | Just put him in a |
26s | healthier spot |
27s | that's more aligned |
28s | with the rest |
28s | of the cast. |
29s | Now for maps. |
30s | The following |
30s | maps will be |
31s | in rotation: |
31s | Abyss, |
32s | Ascent, |
33s | Bind, |
33s | Haven, |
34s | Sunset |
34s | Pearl, |
35s | and Split. |
35s | That means Icebox |
36s | and Lotus |
36s | are rotating out. |
37s | We're also releasing |
38s | a new TDM map |
39s | called Glitch. |
40s | One team |
40s | spawns in winter Haven, |
41s | while the other |
42s | team spawns |
42s | in overgrown Sunset. |
43s | As for Sunset, |
44s | we're changing B main |
45s | to reduce post-plant |
46s | gameplay, |
46s | and removing |
47s | the unbreakable Cypher |
48s | Trapwire spot |
49s | on B site. |
50s | We're also making |
50s | light changes to mid |
51s | to give defenders |
52s | more options |
52s | when they want |
53s | to contest it. |
53s | So what's next? |
54s | We'll continue |
55s | to monitor the game |
56s | and bring |
56s | balance adjustments |
57s | as needed, with |
58s | some patches |
58s | having a little |
59s | spicier content |
59s | than others. |
