viperEasyEI mean what other than "its aids" what's wrong with the mid?(its probably obvious and im just dumb)
the mid point is essentially a giant soup bowl with a beam across the top for people to spam down into splash damage hell
capnnofapnActually it's a cereal bowl
i dont get why it's designed such that in order to cap the middle control point you are required to stand on lowground where you can be shot down at from virtually all angles
like can you imagine if badlands mid had the cap underneath the bridge that would make no sense no other 6s map forces you to be in such a shit position in order to cap
i feel like phi was playing ultiduo and thought "koth_ultiduo is a good map maybe i'll try to emulate that for 6s!"
also i get triggered by the fact that the last point is so open that alle can do the same crouchslide airpogo jump from safety in lobby and land right next to spawn to kill medics (who should probably just be holding in spawn so they dont get fucked)
literally no other map in the game is anywhere near that open like can you imagine if he tried to do that shit on process or gullywash lol its just not possible on any other map
you might be able to do something similar by pogoing thru main on badlands but even that's quite a stretch considering demos can trap above main and you'd get bodyblocked by their pocket/scout/whoever
since im from na ive never actually played a match on it so i cant comment on the aids stalemates between mid and second (even at i58 i didnt play it once nor did i see anyone play it, though tsc and erynn assured me that i would have to, as a justification for why it's still in na pugchamp's map pool... -_-)
