Just leave the map for hot join heros, but I agree that map is garbage. Everytime I find myself playing this map I just leave. This map should never be in team queue.

or atleast remove the cannon.. u ve to be more worried with things outside the real pvp

lol no underwater is kittened and if u cant handle skyhammer you should just stop playin

Agree, necroes engi and guardians are so OP on this map. Its so easy to knock down people from points thakittens scarry.

Skyhammer is great, it has a whole new way of taking out the opposition – especially silly super tanky troll builds – with new tactics. Every profession can set up to use the map to their advantage, some people just don’t want to…I for one really like it and find it keeps things from getting stale. I also have more fun on that map than others usually – win or lose – due to those dangerous pitfalls.

Please don’t listening to the vocal whiners again A-net.

no, not all classes can set up to their advantage, making the game unbalanced and unfun

I used to hate Skyhammer too, then I worked on my chip shot.

lol’d +1

Just make a trollspec necro. You don’t have to play it, just walk in, get CCed in some way, boom, everyones dead. Man the cannon. Tell the other team it’s all about pro positioning when they complain.

haha. i might actually have to try this.

This map is terrible. I don’t want to touch solo que because of this map.. and capricorn.

The best part is that if you get pulled, it triggers at the location you get pulled to, not the location you get pulled from. Outplayed.

Everyone knows necro is insanely hard to play

lol jk

>> Place marks in the cannon portal requires a lot of skill & pressing fear is extremely skilled

It’s genuinely concerning they think Skyhammer can be worthy of solo queue while Capricorn isn’t. Neither should be on the rotation, but Capricorn is easily more deserving.

Yes delete this map. Only kittens enjoy it.

I play Necromancer and I say I HATE this map A LOT. It doesn’t matter you can fear off people from edge, I want good duels not this… also this weapon skyhammer hitting 10k+knockback+insane wide range+fast cooldown… right…

I personally love Skyhammer….agree with earlier post, l2p

Considering ArenaNet has removed the map in real arenas, I don’t think it’s a learn-to-play issue.

yes, even teamq is more reasonable to have it than soloq

its all about rng and get luck to have classes who run fear push back launch build.

plz remove it from solo que or make cannon dodgeable

Make no changes. Best map so far. Long live Trollhammer.

I don’t think I’d still be playing if there was no skyhammer.

Skyhammer is awesome. Most people actually laugh and enjoy themselves while playing it and keeps you on your toes far more than any other map has done. On that note Capricorn is also great, underwater combat is a mechanic of the game. Why people hate it I really don’t know.

Matches are at most 15mins long and different maps mix things up. I hear MOBA’s have 1 map, go give them a shot but people please don’t qq to take variety away from the we the majority. The last thing I want to do is play the same map over and over.

I just did a hotjoin and sat on the cannon uncontested the whole game, I think a lot of people still don’t get whats going on with this map.

I think Skyhammer should stay in the soloQ map pool, it allows different builds/strategies that focus more on CC, Stability, and positioning.

I have fun on Skyhammer because it is a break from the same old AOE/Condition you see nowadays. However, I have definitely been frustrated on Skyhammer at times, as getting chipped of the green when you think you are safe, well, it can make people rage

Too many newbs running around with there “support build” so they cant handle anything 1v1 related therefore too scared to even try and contest it or anything 1v1 related.

They should get the build templates working soon though, especially for this map.
But furthermore they should really keep this map.

Here you go, run into the cannon room, spam 2s and 3s fears randomly to pull stunbreaks (they have to stunbreak or you’ll chain them over the edge), spectral walk if you’re going to get knocked off. Reapers procs, 4s aoe fear. They die, you press spectral walk again. All the fears make it very difficult for them to stand where they want to be, spectral wall can block them from getting off the glass or just chain them over the edge if they’re out of stunbreaks. Golem charge will bounce portal huggers to the middle of the platform so you can begin to properly demonstrate your pro skills.

Warning, advanced players only, it’s very hard to randomly spam CC abilities. Nightmare runes are better of course, because they let you randomly gib people more randomly. I just posted with necro runes because 4s fears are funnier than 3.8s fears. Of course you do have to watch out for the guys running the super secret 5 stunbreak build.

They fixed golem charge into reapers mark instagibbing anyone stupid enough to be on the cannon when you enter, now golem charge just hits them for a ton of damage and knocks them down.

Oh, and you know what’s really fun? Going in there, getting a warrior to pop berserker stance, and playing ‘chase me through the portal’ for ten seconds. Then you corrupt his balanced stance. Benny Hill music recommended. Watch that debuff though, you may get hit if you press F too early!

Trollhammer. It’s all about positioning.

Kittens are wonderful and majestic animals. Whats wrong with giving them a map to play around?

The problem is not the top of this map. Not the worst, at least.
The problem is the side points(A and C). Immobilize, Toolkit, Die. So fun.
And of course, Skyhammer itself. Bunker Grds can win 1vs3 with the hammer shots. So balanced.

Yeah I think it could be a good match if all of the 10 are the “Skyhammer builds”, but it never happens in soloq. Not many people want to practice the builds only for one map. Me neither.

The more people running troll builds, the quicker skyhammer will get fixed. If you really don’t like the map as it stands, make an alt.

Positives:
*I can use my ele staff build really well there with the 2nd stories.

Negatives:
*Hammer is too powerful, and control room is designed for cc builds.
*Its funny the first time knocking someone off, then its just not even fun anymore.
*the breaking platforms are too hazardous. Im sure a more skilled player can mind their surrounding more than me; but after avoiding enemies, ledges and the skyhammer, doesn’t it become a bit much?…. especially in the control room.

Maybe the hammer would be better if the doors to the control room were only open during certain times (like how Svanir and Chieftain come back). And everyone was kicked out after a short time.

The map isn’t bad. I just think the canon needs to be nerfed. That’s it really…

I think they should make a map called Sky Dragon that had tameable Claw of Jormag with frozen breath of doom that destroys everything within 500 miles every 2 minutes. Only rangers could tame him of course.

Skyhammer is not suitable for conquest and i think it should be removed from solo queue just like it was removed from team queue.
Each time i get it i go afk.
