Of course, these are the people who brought us Guardian.....
Hey now, that map is good! Overshield just needs to go if you are playing vanilla team games
Well yeah, it works in MLG, I just don't like it with default settings because of the horribly unbalanced initial spawn and the standoffishness. It works great with MLG Oddball, though.
I think where OS is, should be replaced by another AC, and they should have an OS in the middle of the map (top level) and initial spawns which give both teams an equal opportunity to get it. Shiska screwed guardian good and proper.
Guardian is fine. I don't see what the problem is. OS isn't a huge advantage. One nade and it's gone.
The problem is that the elbow spawn team is immediately able to push snipe, invis AND OS. Bottom blue spawn can only push Invis (which they may or may not get) and Shotgun (which in no way is a substitute for a sniper). After that, the gameplay becomes extremely standoffish. One side camps S1-S3 and the other chills G1-G2, and nobody really does anything. The sniper has a massive advantage and S1-S3 team can also just wait on the OV in order to abuse the invincibility it grants.
In MLG Oddball, this is all fine because the teams really don't have the same standoffs and only invis and snipe spawn at the start, and neither of them are the main objective. It just leads to smoother gameplay.
