| 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. |
