I really dislike this map, it is mainly because classes who have a lot of mobility just dominate in it. This is mostly eles. The speed that they can cap the orb is quite amazing.

Here is how I would improve it.

You can use no skills except heals. No blocks, invurnabilitys, etc. Allies can apply boons to you, such as stability, etc.

You can pass the orb or throw it a very small distance. I think this can greatly improve teamwork.

I’ve made some changes to orb running that’ll show up in the end of April build. Ride the Lightning distance will be reduced while carrying the the orb, and gaining invulnerability will drop it.

Why does this have to wait until the end of the month?

I understand that not everything can be fixed quickly, but since you already have a fix what’s the hold up? This kind of imbalance is very annoying, especially for more casual players without teams, and having to wait two weeks for a simple fix like this is disheartening.

Whenever we put out a new patch to the live game, it’s a big process that most of the staff is affected by. So an issue generally has to be really critical for us to justify putting out a hot fix outside of our normal build schedule.
