I feel like most OW2 maps sufffer from dead zones where absolutely nothing happens. For instanse Antarctic peninsula stage with a jump pad. Its completely useless and doesn't give you any good position. There are many dead segments on different maps, but i decided this one is the highlight

[@luizeduardoortizduarte4380]

They should remove that small glass on the top of that small room close to the point that have a high ground on that map, would be a nice place to find cover and still have the high ground

[@BabaYa9a]

[@everynone1849]

It's notable that whatever else is going on in the game, Colosseo's rework is sorta the OW team's most successful map update. Alot of other changes have been fairly minor (Junkertown, Route 66) or major and didn't do enough (Horizon Lunar Colony, Paris, etc.)

[@adbon6279]

tf was done on r66? in terms of recent map changes i can only think of gib, colloseo, and JT

[@DavidLeAsdf]

@@adbon6279 Check the Oct. 10, 2023 patch notes for a more extended breakdown. It's super minor. They made some boxes bigger for better cover, they made it so the B Point doors remain half open, they added the sign. Really small stuff.

[@TomMorello725]

This new version is 100% better. I really want to see the next reworks, they have been doing an excellent job with these changes. I have high expectations for Numbani and Circuit Royal. Lets see!

[@FlamingNinjaBoi]

Both of them are gonna revolve around last point, I bet. Circuit Royal last is probably the hardest attack in the game, and Numbani last isn't much better.

[@user-ie7yx5lw5h]

I think Numbani should be eliminated from map pool, no reworks One of the worst maps since OW1 in my personal top

[@jvidez]

I hate Numbani first point as an attacker.

[@artimist0315]

To me Numbani feels like a 2CP map. Point 1 is impossible to take, point 2 basically doesn't exist and point 3 is again quite untakable. It's sad because I do like it's esthetic and a highground oriented map can be fun but numbani's points are way too easy to hold. For circuit royal I really don't know what they could do, the whole map is basically the problem

[@muysli.y1855]

They just need years to realise that

[@KimeGaeming]

[@michaelpurdon7032]

The work they did around the capture points is stellar too. Not only in opening up those points but in terms of map navigation as well. Let's hope the Numbani rework is just as effective 😬

[@BabaYa9a]

why rework numbani? This map is fine. It priorities dive over brawl. there are not many maps like that.

[@Pes._]

Can we have that glass rant animated uploaded as it's own vid?

[@ninthfriend3347]

When comes to map design, one thing I appreciate they've been doing is opening up old maps. One of the most frustrating thing back in OW1 was choke points felt really oppressive which causes the lack of options for flanking. It was one of the reason two tanks felt oppressive at chokes but that's just bad map design. With maps being opened up more, you give more options for the attacking team to get around the defender team. I wonder how 6v6 were played if choke points weren't strong back then and they were opened up like it was in OW2 now.

[@cogginsnuff]

oh man i really don't give two shits about the 6v6 debate, but having actual lanes or options with 6v6 wouldve bean so fun

[@FlamingNinjaBoi]

Stuff that shoulda happened ages ago, tbh. Instead they put all their time into 'Overwatch 2'; AKA the Great MTX Update.

[@mayuwu4408]

I really hope you take the opportunity to talk more about map design on the channel (or even on the 2nd channel if it isn't exciting enough) !!! I'd love to learn more about the basics of how maps are looked at by a designer/coach (and you could even make it productive as in educating people on how maps work so they can give better feedback like you were able to in the glass clip), because as much as I understand about wider game design and stuff like hero/kit design I feel like I know *_nothing_* about map design, it's always been this nebulous mysterious thing to me and I have a hard time imagining how I would even approach designing a map unlike for heroes.

[@Gre7n]

i think something to keep in mind for map design too is that "low value flanks" + "large sightlines" = poke is the only option. a seperate possible solution for the map could have been to break off the long sightlines so that brawl comps could close the distance and break the choke by walking through

[@player_delta]

[@creeperstkoed6282]

You know whats funny is that as a gold widow main, I never had an issue on this map with stalemates, because due to the glass it would generally funnel people right into where I was aiming, they'd push up to contest bot, if they were a sheild character their sheild would get melted, they would have nowhere to go, and I would just pick off someone in the back line, typically a widow, ashe, or ana, and generally after that my team would win that fight,

[@lian7092]

now it has become even better

[@SynchroFPS]

What about the bridge contest

[@PTSDwithME]

Now they just need to make the staircase at first point Numbani open air and not enclosed

[@n5vaa69]

I think we need maps like circuit to make must pick heroes not must pick heroes. Having some maps where the staple characters like monkey and tracer and kiri aren't good is good for the game, it mixes it up sometimes. It favors flexibility which I think is good

[@Bleu_Sky]

Holding choke for 30 minutes us a legitimate strategy

[@Eridu]

[@jakeoae7508]

I my self has had game where it leaves the stalemate to only later go back to it

[@user-qt6yt6mu2k]

the mei wall to high ground seems very consistent for me, the trick is to jump and use a virtical wall aiming at the top of the stairs. there should be plenty of room to stand at the end where the little window is even if youre kinda far from it, so if you practice you can just run and jump up there. :3

[@mrcurry5262]

I know this is random but how tf is spilo like 30+ years old. I first saw this guy I thought he was like 22. Bro what kind of anti ageing you using.

[@gregortheoverlander4122]

He's... he's at the prime of his life? How old do you think old is? 27-32 is literally when people are at their healthiest. Like that is the peak age for athletes, artists, and and academics. Usually I'd just troll spilo and say, "Yeah, he looks great for 80..." But my dude. He doesn't look old because he is not old. Anyone who takes care of their body will look great at 28 years old.

[@CoachSpilo]

i looked like death in this recording because i was on 2-3 weeks of under 6 hours of sleep. for anti-aging recommendations? sunscreen, moisturize, and SLEEP (something I've been doing better at recently). also minimize stress and uh... genetic. Don't smoke either.

Curious how that 2022 Grand Finals would have went on this new Colosseo map

[@Cyber_p3nguin]

but unironically it was actually crazy seeing Silver VODs and Pro VODs of fights at that same choke, and they'd go almost the exact same way. No one really ever pushed forward until there was a pick lol. Just constant poke until someone died and then the team who was +1 runs forward.

[@GenuineRage]

Dude I've said so much about overwatch's map design over the years that i get a lot of pushback on. The amount of not only visual but physical clutter on the overwatch maps that you can get stuck on, shoot through, block shots with, etc is BAFFLING. It's gotten worse over the years. I legitimately almost lost my goddamn mind on new queen street when i first started playing again because its got so much clutter EVERYWHERE and edges on walls that you clip on that i just couldn't stand it. This is one of those instances of map developers trying too hard to tread new ground (pun intended) when the fundamentals of map design are more important for a game like this. in a game where even one person dying can be the outcome of a match, or even one person just having poor timing, there is no room for map design that gets the player stuck in a loop or literally stuck against the geometry.

[@ZarelidT]

I genuinely feel a change like this proves theirs specific spots on maps that high level players all take advantage of and DONT explain to the lower ranked players. This is why our players in this community are so bad.

[@wildevelynnappeared]

This shitty map felt much better with the changes. Now rework Circuit Royal and I'll be happy

[@Akiram1445]

Removing the glass is all well and good, but they also ruined the only good part of any Push map, the boop spots close to the bot path.

[@zachdl1]

What if there was a tank added to the current game of Overwatch that had 0 damage potential but lots of CC, mitigation, and enough health to live through any team fight? I think that opens up opportunities for a different gameplay experience for tanks without disrupting the whole matchmaking format. This would theoretically encourage the enemy team to avoid focusing on the tank and try to find ways to get around them to use their cooldowns on the backline. Thoughts?

[@MouldMadeMind]

Sounds boring to play.

i actually did like the map pre-changes, but that's only because I main Ball/Lucio, who can be anywhere they want on the map at all times.

[@someGuy-kl7cb]

its kind of interesting, this map was CONSTANTLY bombarded with hate, just seeing it made people groan. but now its just...there. its a map i forget exists. which isn't a bad thing because that means theres nothing BAD or good about it. its just a solid map to play on. id take a "okay" map over a bad one any day. especially when its on one of the worst game modes. overwatch is undoubtably really skilled at hearing criticism on maps and IMMIDIATELY applying fixes. they made basically every reworked map 100x better to play on, the only outlier being horizon, but that was like, the WORST map ever released(gameplaywise, designwise its a 10/10), so it being "Still bad" is still a major step up from "the worst in the game by far hands down" remember when they did a single change on eichenwalde and we clowned on them for just "just adding a door lol map rework" but that single door basically turned the entire feeling of that first choke into something infinitely more manageable. overwatch struggles making maps sometimes, but when they get criticism, its probably one of their strongest attributes as a company to take that criticism and apply it to maps.

Personally, I really liked the old glass because it benefited my heroes. Genji being able to hop over the glass without being followed most of the time gave him a lot of options, and the glass also helped get people into the right spot for a nice doom diag punch. I get why they changed it, but I don't think it's a clear cut improvement. Also I don't like the added mega by checkpoint, environmentals make the game more fun :/

(2nd one you might need to be on the stairs, can't remember off the top of my head I haven't played since like S2 or S3.
