lodjur.1284 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Tactic banners (Dragon Banner, Centaur Banner, Turtle Banner) are now restricted to the general area around the objective they are spawned in. Leaving the objective area while carrying a tactic banner will display a warning message, and failing to return to the objective area within the allocated time will destroy the banner.See title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is too much, they killed it.What should be done is to decrease the damage of the DB in uncontrolled areasAnd with that same logic, they can no longer take a banner from their tower to attack your keep. However, you can still put banners in keeps to help defend them.This is not a nerf to the little guy. Defenders are the only ones with banners 100% of the time now. There is no snowball effect of attackers gaining access to more and more banners as they capture the map, increasing their attacking power as they capture and hold more. Now you can only use them for defense. This is a massive buff to defending teams.Anyways, there's not many times when you would really have access to many banners to defend things anyways. Generally, when a keep is going to be hit, multiple towers go down first. If you have no towers, you have no extra banners. Banners until now have always favored the dominating side, which is why they where busted. They are a force multiplier designed for defense, but instead where being used for offense. The more towers you have, the more access to banners you had. The more banners you had, the less relevant it was when one went down. Sure, you only have one on demand banner now, but the attackers will never have more than 0, no matter how many towers, keeps, or castles they own.

Since you can just mounts-go-brrrr your way through enemies, there's no agency...people just avoid fights they think they can't win and in turn more players end up choosing more favorable fights = more zerging less roaming.Not to mention picking off Zerglings was part of a positive cycle, where large zergs on anther side of the map are starved of reinforcements because of roamers picking them off...this gave roamers purpose in the game mode as a whole for turning tides of battle even thought they aren't directly in the vicinity of the fights.

Sure, you only have one on demand banner now, but the attackers will never have more than 0, no matter how many towers, keeps, or castles they own.What will happen is the DB will only be used in one defense and it will be discarded because no player will want to be trapped inside a tower for 15 min waiting for the next wave. So the first raid may be hard for the attackers, but the second will be ridiculously easier.One thing that could solve this was if it was possible to drop the DB back and it stay on the floor until it expires so you or another player can take it back later if if necessary.But it should be impossible to drop while in combat or otherwise people would drop it when they about to die.

The biggest change when mounts were added was that instead of spending 5 min to run to where there was a possibility to find a fight, I have to spend 3 min.
