2.6, The best update.

[Rincewind]

Seriously I love everything about this patch. The bots add variety and they mean that losing a teammate no longer screws you over. The new shop lets you actually adapt to the match. The new map is sweet. Most of the balance changes are nice. The skins are even pretty awesome.

2.6 ruined my swiggins build

[CtenosaurOaxacana]

The new bots, new map, and new ability choice strategy at the shop are all great changes!

[Mr. noob]

2.6 brought some good changes (such as Swiggins, Leon and vinnie nerfs) but here's what I don't like:

- The new map
- Can't use keyboard in main menu
- The new shop - I keep buying wrong items, or can't manage my items very well. I think it could do well with bigger upgrade icons.
- Level display next to names and in scoreboard removed

I have to agree on that.
Although I like that you can choose loadouts while playing, the shop is too small for the amount of choices to select. The other side of the screen is a waste of space, I don't need a blurred out picture of me standing in the shop, it's not like there would be something happening anyway.

You can still use the keyboard in the main menu. You have to press Space now.

[Mr. noob]

Space doesn't work and most other keys I tested didn't work either. I agree about the blured picture being a waste of space. However, I think it's important to still see some of what's going on because there could still be enemies with ranged attacks (Coco, Penny, etc.)

That's strange. Do you have a mouse so you can at least check and remap the controls? Enter is now permanently locked for chat only. It looks like the patch messed up the controls.

They should take away the blur, increase the size of the shop and put it into the center of the screen, so both teams can still see their base while buying items. Currently the blue team has the advantage of being able to see the base while the red team only has the small transparent spots in the shop UI.

I think that the new map just takes some getting used to but I still like it. I never bothered using the eyboard in the menu anyway so I didnt notice that (probably just a bug with the new UI) Yeah the shop could be bigger but it still is a great addition. They should bring back the level display though.

It's far too large for a 3v3 and the furance dividing the lanes doesn't help to make it any smaller. A league 2 match should last longer than 18-26 minutes, but that seems hard to achieve on 205.

They simply took Rae Station 404 and opened a new route for pushers.

I havent really noticed it being "big" it seems about the size of say Sorona just with more stuff in the big empty sky that noone can go in unless they can fly.

Sonora doesn't have a dynamic element that precludes you from one lane or the other every 30 seconds...

The ability to respond between lanes on 205 is simply too lacking. It can be proven repeatedly with clone spam.

Yeah....

I was one of those that hated on it for the flame effect, but I had two great Clunk games on that map... No one expects an expoding clunk through the flame XD.

Still. I think it is dumb for non-tanks.

-----------

In positive - I love the new bots. I love the few balance changes I know about.

ALSO -- What I told Emo which he didn't seem thrilled about.... No game has been force started [for me] on the new patch! The increased time and no one reading each upgrade helped a lot. Great work![/b].

[Mr. noob]

I decided that whenever the new ai station appears I'm just going to instantly leave, it's outright unplayable to me.

Agreed.

It's not meant for 3v3, let alone any support class.

I just tested it an keys work for me, looks like a problem on your end.

[Deadbubble]

I just don't like how the shop screen is all the way to the side. It should be in the center...
