Pathing should hopefully be more predictable from attackers approaching the site and defenders retaking the site.Added a see-through gate here that can’t be passed from the ground level.Acquiring targets up top also requires less vertical movement of the crosshair.This puts the upper A Belt area more in line with the rest of the verticality in the site.Reduced the height of the A Belt area and connected it via a ramp to the platform below.The changes to Icebox in this update are centered around simplifying the A Site and reducing the height of some of the most vertical areas on the map. By removing the mitigation of the counterplay, we are able to investigate future opportunities to reward players that succeed in getting their barriers to fortify. Overall, we’ve been happy with how the fortified barrier has been playing but wanted to make some changes to prevent the mitigation of the fortifying counterplay, while rewarding Sage players that successfully fortify their walls.Once fortified, Barrier no longer loses health over time-Barrier only starts to deteriorate a few seconds before it expires.Most of the abilities cast during buy phase are meant to set up more permanent utility. Although this was a hotfix solution intended to prevent an exploit with Omen, this change is overall a solid one that we believe creates cohesion across what can and can’t be cast in buy phase.The limited Snowball Fight mode arrives and the Night.Market is open. Rank distribution has also been adjusted to help those at lower levels in their climb. Speaking of which, the slew of Observer additions should make it better to follow the competition. To help combat smurfs/AFKers, you must now win 10 Unrated matches before you can unlock Competitive.
This round of Icebox changes is focused on getting the A site and verticality just right. This one’s light on the Agents, big on Icebox.
Hey, we’re back with Patch 1.14, if you’re wondering what happened to Patch 1.13, we used it to roll out some Unreal upgrades.
