    I am still curious how the map would look if the same font/shrine layout was kept but rotated 90ish degrees. 1 shrine on the beach and on the other side by the woods. 9ish spaces from center font.

    That looks better than I expected. I think the only gripe that would arise would be that well just above the UD shrine.

    Ya, i'm sure that could be made a passable square if it is an issue, or the bottom shrine could be moved to the left and top shrine moved to the right, they would still be the same 9 squares from mid font

    Auxilium needs to stay in the hellfire where it got put years ago.

    bumped, this HAS to happen, the lack of variation of maps in ranked is getting tiresome!

    Its funny how easy it is to fix this map by just moving fonts :)

    Baskitkase. I don't get the hate, it is a massive improvement from the Player-1-wins-bullshit of KF hill.

    ya, also, i think we all agree this map has great art on it, and would be a welcome addition to the current rotation

    Necroing this thread! Cause I'm green. This map is only used for a couple dailys at the moment, which is a shame cause it really is great art. I was trying out some of these font/shrine positions when I noticed the map isn't even even. The top plateau is farther from the center than the bottom and the small ramp is in a different place. In the image below, the guide overlay evens the sides up. I think it's ok that some areas are uneven as long as accessibility is the same (like the ramp positions).

    Not a fan of middle font so close but I think that map may work.
    In these cases, what would people think of uneven distances to mid font for P1 and P2?
    For example, in the map proposed, if p1 draws a 7 speed champion and p2 doesn't, that would be quite the advantage, but, if p1 draws a 6 speeder and p2 a 7 speeder, nothing happens! so, what if p1 capture distance were 7 and p2's were 6?

    Would be easier if we had "non-deployment" fonts that just gen nora.

    As an IS player this map is nice but for those that dont have our current font bonus I have to agree with Gab. First turn player pulling a 7 speeder and the second pulling a 6 speeder gives 1st player a huge draw advantage.

    What would the map look like with no mid font, a font directly on top of the well and one mirrored for the top player?

    Either the shrines close in by 1 square or the mid font goes away. Due to font defender its already iffy enough really

    Perfect. My only concern with this would be are the fonts to close to each other? Could the side fonts be a couple spaces further away to make it more of a middle font map? I'm thinking each side font would be 2 spaces closer to each players shrine

    EDIT: Its important that shrines should be 6 spaces from the middle font, not 7, as if p1 draws a 7 speed champ and player 2 draws a 6 speed champ, its game over.

    Whilst you are noticing this map isn't even, the same applies for a lot of other maps also! We need an entire map review.
