Great reveal, but layouts...

On the Q&A we had the question about layouts answered

Pretty much what they meant is that unless we dislike those map layouts on the level of disliking old Augury, they will not really be changed. They will still be those horrible layouts that most people would rather skip and are extremely unpleasant to play after many hours in a league

I legit don't understand the decision, especially given that we are getting 30+ new maps and I can bet that at least 29 will be the same style

One of the things I was expecting to get the most attention were those layouts, but instead the whole thing was dismissed as irrelevant

Big shrug

+1

There are so many bad layouts, so many dead ends, or unnecessarily huge

Yea. It all got dismissed as "we won't have every map being circles" as if that's what the community has been asking for

Someone has to tell the design team there that between 1 and 100 there's 50. There's a massive difference between making sure that every map doesn't feel like shit and "every map is a circle"

On top of that the movement is still going to be clunky and feel like the character is tripping over itself, the repetitive textures and tile sets drag down the higher quality of the graphics and animations. The zoomers are still going to zoom by the end game, so why not let the non-zoomers that actually want to play the game not have to slog for 4 acts?

I would really like to play .5 because I think they have really made a lot of big improvements in the end game, its just that the rest of it is still going to suck.
