my concern with the new map with valk

dont get me wrong from what i have seen i love it, i have not just seen the trailer but leaked gameplay and it looks like an amazing map possibly the best however the removal of Balloons is a concern considering the new map is pretty much just the valk map, with her ult and a lack of balloons and especially when the ALGS moves to this map 100% of comps will have a valk, its going to be the most stale meta ever created

that is why i put this in general because it fits map feedback and legend feedback because it is more general because it fits both feedback sections instead of the 1, that said the new jump cannon things look like a lot of fun but because it can only direct you to one place valk will be everywhere

    @Swarth2300 

    I think you might be spot on with Valk and the new map. 

    The Jump Cannons use in rotation could be camped, setting traps, etc. Valk can avoid this.

    I think one of three things will happen though.

    1. Players will find new ways to rotate without Valk.

    2. Devs will see the problem and fix the map either by changing how the jump cannons work or by adding more balloons.

    3. We will all just have to deal with it.

    Looking forward to all the new stuff. Hope it all works including the servers etc.

    that is a good point, dont get me wrong the new map looks so good and i can imagine its a map i will never tire of(judging by what we have seen) however i have never seen a map so favouring one specific character, that said i was worried about the AI animals for this map, was worried that at any point you could randomly get mauled by an animal which sounds like no fun but my concerns about that have already been dispelled since if you keep your distance or dont shoot their eggs they leave you alone

    The jump cannons are plentiful,  and some of them go REALLY far.  Like, send you two POI's over far.

    the cannon's dont really give you an option to where to land while valk's ult does that is the big advantage of it but you could be right, the jump cannons do look like a lot of fun to use
