Good. As fun as it was to make this for content I think bringing it some attention will help move the it higher on the priority list. There's no way they aren't aware of it... it's likely it wasn't much of a complaint so it wasn't that important... until I showed up and made their jobs harder LOL

0:15 EXCUSE ME JEFF THERE IS PEOPLE LOSING GAMES

[@mage3690]

10:28 boy, you can see exactly where the guy drawing this stain stopped caring. He started in the lower left corner, then proceeded around clockwise. Right about when he got to the upper right corner, the boss looked over his shoulder and called him a slowpoke, or maybe he looked up at the clock and saw 4:50. At that point, he copy-pasted the line from the left onto the right (without mirroring, obviously), put in 1 more coordinate, and called it a day.

Torb hight is the real way to measure things.

Lol your joking right? Right........?

[@DragonEngineer_]

15:22 Technically circular control points should be easier to handle since the distance between the center and the boundary is constant, so you just have to check if the distance between the player and the center is less than the radius.

[@coolkettle]

That's what I was gonna say! Circles and spheres may be impossible to perfectly or efficiently emulate with points and lines, but they're extremely efficient and easy to implement, seeing as a circle only stores 3 values: 2 for the X and Y coordinates of the center (spheres also have a Z value, but no control point floats so it might have a height instead and be a cylinder) and the radius (distance from the edge to the center)

[@xxxxRouvenxxxx]

Thank you for your effort!

[@Bazilisk_AU]

HOLY MOLY you’ve really outdone yourselves ! KarQ you are Fitzy and the extended Overwatch community are a godsend to us players. The information you put out is an equaliser for never players against veteran experience and almost an unfair advantage if you’re brand new to the game.

[@sncf9275]

Cool video idea: 1 widow angle on every map

[@MissPixil]

Thanks for bringing it attention to this and creating the video too! I think this is going to help me panic a little less and maybe contest a little more safely on some of the maps when most of my team abandons me to chase someone. 😂 (It's been happening a lot more than it used to lately.... 😭)

Dead spots: Exist Blizzard: Yeah, put some plants on that bad boy

[@Gavrilooo]

I actually like when you swear, it's so funny

[@CamC159]

Honestly, it makes sense that anubis' capture points are so jank. It's one of the first maps that were developed in the game and the team was likely still learning the engine when making it Same could be said about many of the launch maps, but not to the same extent

[@Ven1997keyblade]

I think the Lijiang control center lines are like that because way back in the beta, it had no walls, instead there were a whole bunch of pillar things surrounding the point. There is actually a video on Seagull's channel that shows what it used to look like. I believe the video's called Seagull "POV mixup vs C9"

[@benjaminseverinsen8713]

Omg.....this explains so much lol

[@paha1417]

[@mikefieldsne]

You need to promote KarQives more! I've watched your videos for a few years now and didn't know about that channel.

[@bamby3144]

Yo Karq, another underrated tank combo could be hammond and orisa, "stop drop and roll". Hammond goes for back line but swings a bit over the heads of the enemy just as an orisa's halt pulls up the back line, sending the supports and dps over the enemy tanks' heads and most importantly, shields.

[@LCG_Night]

Yay more vids

[@furamusic301]

Honestly, I can understand how they made the borders. They took a line tool and traced out a little object around the point. And then filled that closed space with "capture when player stands here" code. That's why round points look janky, and if you notice when they do trace around a map, it's only in straight lines. What I wanna understand is the significant difference between maps. It's like all maps were made by two people; one with good communication with the art director and one without.

[@jubeat4451]

im never going to unsee the 2 plants being only on one side of Ilios well... damn you karq (excellent video though)

[@squidwardgameing]

awesome!!!!!!!

[@Mopman33]

You should make a video on the ranges / hit boxes of various ultimate's. Such as the actual cone of earth shatter, range of a dragonblade swipe, actual AOE of being picked up by Sigma ( the in game representation seems off), etc.

[@friedpotato6846]

Me: recently buys odyssey Karq: plays the wooded kingdom theme

[@nightblood005stormblessed5]

I demand consistency

[@benjaminbookstaver2697]

I think the differences in visual vs actual boundaries are used to make the player perceive they’re on the point even if the center of their model isn’t within the visual boundaries. Sort of a “foot in the door” type of deal

[@radish7259]

I don't know why but this video makes me feel claustrophobic.

[@phredbookley183]

At 7:15 "Bizarre and unaccepable." AGREED

[@stanisk.942]

That explains everything, why the people wrote "I was stepping on and wonder why no content." It seems, they were on red spot.

[@nickniehaus1763]

This is an amazingly important video, and it requires a follow even though you don’t pronounce your name “Kark.”

[@simonvinet1421]

It would be awesome if you could do a one translocater spot for every map for sombra!!

[@Coach_]

Regarding the Volskaya dead zone, that is probably there to prevent heroes from touching the point between the two ledges. A hero like genji or dva per se would probably be able to stall for a good amount of time just by jumping between those two ledges. Just my thoughts on it.

[@ralyks7477]

KarQ straight up exposing the dev team and their shoddy capture boundaries

[@friendly-1ntrovert865]

8:32 the team on the left would have to get to the lighthouse quicker in order to contest because the objective area is smaller on their side. This gives the right side team an unfair advantage. Let me rephrase this: multiple maps are designed to give one side an unfair advantage. Including mirrored maps.

[@lewisnorden3744]

Blizzard needs to know about this asap!

[@skillless_]

I didnt even notice that point a anubis is not a square, i played this game for 4 years now, the hell

[@AsiNinju]

I bet that for lijang control center that the capture point used to be designed different then when they changed to a simple circle they just kept the old capture area geometry thinking it would be okay since the indicated capture boundaries still technically tell you where you can stand to capture.

[@petaamedruhejae.7054]

Ooo that's why I sometimes don't contest the point even when I am on the line... And they should make equel height

[@pontusjohansson8]

I didn't expect the super mario odyssey music lmao

[@piotrbugaj5179]

15:21, not really KarQ, the way we were making additional circular points in workshop, with my friend, was simply by setting a central point co-ordinates and then calculating the distance of a player from that point, which resulted in sphere, but it's easy to modify for cylinder. Pythagorean theorem is nothing too difficult to calculate. So the actual reason for circular points to be so weird, I'd guess is that they built some tool for irregularly shaped points, that gave them a lot of freedom (though, as You proved, not really used for precision) and then wanted to keep it consistent with all points instead of calculating circular points in an entirely separate way.

[@peter_gm_0687]

You should do a 1 hero tip for every map series. Just an idea

[@DarkMagePyra]

In havana you can hide in the truck with the junkrat lounge emote just before the second turn

[@silver_david2498]

From just looking at this, I'd have to guess that the game engine uses cubes as capture areas, and points like the circle one on Oasis are made of 4 cubes, with some of them rotated to get that octagon shape

[@AdamVoidless]

Hey KarQ, you probably wont answer but I remember 2 years ago Jayne said that you were working on a video to showcase the payload speeds for every maps. What happened to that?

[@Sunpy_Emily]

Circular hitboxes and collision is actually very easy as its a simple formula (its a distance function). The reason people think its complicated is when they get stuck in the thought process of lines and connections making up the shape.

[@warsquid4138]

Junkertown has a bush right next to the first left house near first spawn. Behind the little staircase.
