Me too. I ended up suffering the coliseum so often in unranked that i got all the achievements accidentally. And capricorn’s bell mechanic is even more frustrating the sky hammer; if the other team ring it twice for whatever reason it’s virtually game over most of the time.
With a bit of luck, they won’t get picked too often.

I actually like this change. Makes the new season more interesting. Only issue i have is that the buffs in coliseum seem a bit underpowered to me. I generally prefer it of my teammates ignore the buffs and focus on points.

They are totally rubbish.

My issue is that coliseum is painfully dull and capricorn’s mechanic is almost blissfully ignored by new players; the enemy team is about to get their second bell, no matter how many times you ping the map or how many times you shout “GO TO THE BLOODY BELL”, your team carries on as normal thinking “woo! we can get map control now” only to 10 seconds later be losing worse than ever, haha.
(granted, i have been on some god awful teams in unranked)

lol Capricorn will get picked as much as legacy because just as in legacy, a team that knows what its doing can finish the match much faster by always grabbing the bell.

I’m actually pretty happy about capricorn though. The secondary mechanic is actually important and different from other maps. It’s like the map with the meditations which is also my favourite map.

I like Cap but coliseum I am sick to death of as everyone in unranked picked that over and over to get the achievements.

However to be constructive,

Coliseum gives once more huge advantage to certain classes so be aware, and yes, switch to those classes when it comes up as you will be the worse for the wear if you don’t.

Finally some change to the god awful map rotation we had before. Unfortunately ppl like Naru and the rest of the leader board kittens are just going to manipulate the system again, so who really cares.

New players will learn or be left at lower ranks. I agree about the Coliseum, though. It’s just a slugfest on a flat map, not much to it. I don’t mind Capricorn, just with the map was a bit more interesting. Still, I’d rather have them than not have them, kinda tired of the same 3 maps for years and years.

It’s ridiculously strong. A smart thief +1ing efficiently with auto stomp often results in a full wipe before it expires.

I love Capricorn, and I have a lot of fun on that map. But eternal coliseum is a pretty bad map… Perfect for unranked, but even with the changes, I’m not a big fan…

This should’ve been a vote. Although my vote would be capricorn: yes, coli: no

I’m fine with capricorn moving to ranked, but coliseum in its current state doesn’t deserve to even be in unranked, let alone ranked. It’s a terrible map.

Capricorn is fun.

You can risk the 1st bell to get better positioning, and scrambling for the 2nd bell takes some map awareness. The map layout also means close-far at start is a very solid strategy. If you do it right, the games will be exhilarating and short.

Coliseum though…

Did we need a large flat map with power ups? It’s alright, but nothing stands out.

I love “playing before the crowd” on Coliseum. Most of it’s warts are forgivable just for that.

It’s extremely open though. The changes are a serious blow for Mesmer.

I think the issue with Coliseum remains the buffs (the defensive is so bad compared to attack one for obvious reasons) and lack of LoS at mid point (by the time you get to nearest pillar the dh already executed his whole golem rotation on you).

I would take capricorn over skyhammer any day because at least it has less NO VALID PATH bugs.

Capricorn’s fine I’d say. Coliseum though… The original map had it’s flaws, but after a rework they really should’ve given it another test period before allowing it in the ranked queues.
