Guild Wars 2

Undodgeable large area aoe, skillless point and click laser
People with skillless builds to make you die by fall damage (not every class has almost constant stability uptime plus it takes away from build varity if you put in maximum stability)

this map makes me rage on the map chat or go afk almost every time. when will it finnaly be adjusted or at least removed from SoloQ?

It is a joke. Half the map you can’t even see what is going on due to the camera

Maybe we will get some good news when they announce the next patch. Hopefully skyhammer and spirit watch will be removed from solo queue.

Okay, to be honest, I will point one thing. It does take skill to land a hit with the Skyhammer cannon. It has a noticeably long telegraphed charge and it covers a big area. Sure you can’t block it or dodge, but you can easily run out of the area, therefore making it harder for the guy on the cannon to land a hit with it.

I love it.
The Skyhammer is a brilliant addition which keeps you on our toes at all time.
The throwing-out-of-map part is also absolutely hilarious and fun, whether you’re the one knocking someone out or the other way around.

One of my favorite maps, really.

every time i get that map i realize how much they care about us…. they don’t

We have been telling this ANet for the past 9 months. There has been at least one new thread every day complaining about it.

It is the sole reason I have turned my back on SoloQ.

And yet, for some unfathomable reason, ANet still forces it upon us. They have convinced themselves somehow that a large enough amount of people enjoy it to warrant it staying in SoloQ.

I have never met any of these people.

I’m pretty sure that sky hammer in soloq is a bug. I always send a bug report about it whenever I get it.

you made me laugh. thank you. It is very true as long as the point of the game isn’t conquest or something like that.

I wish I could give ANET a dishonorable debuff every time it comes up

My opinion is that skyhammer is one of the least skillful weapons in the game. You can see how easy it is to use when you compare it to the treb from Battle of Khylo. Here is a comparison, if I miss something feel free to add it:

Khylo Treb:

1. Requires manual positioning
2. Requires knowledge how much to charge in order to hit target destination
3. Treb can be destroyed
4. Treb projectile can be dodged

Skyhammer:

1. Requires no manual positioning
2. Requires no knowledge how in order to land a hit, its just point and click destination to fire.
3. Skyhammer can not be destroyed
4. Skyhammer laser can not be dodged

To me there is a very huge difference between the skill level between the two. Looking at skyhammer makes me wonder exactly how Anet thought the weapon was balanced. In comparison to the Treb, its very OP and skilless. I feel something about it needs to give: Either by making it possible to disable the skyhammer or getting rid of the damage from the weapon or the CC.

Overall I’m in agreement with others, the map should be removed from soloq.

Not even close

Skyhammer in competitive scene is like in counter-strike after playing d2, nuke, inferno, you would get some crappy fy_skyday map made by a 10 year old in couple of hours…

Hopefully Skyhammer will last forever in SoloQ. Map mechanics are the perfect counter for the condition bunker meta. No more outsitting the damage on the node while the enemy (preferably glass cannons with direct damage) dies slowly to the applied conditions.

You do realize that skyhammer actually promotes heavily two of the most cancerous bunker builds of the game? They’re not condition based but there isn’t much you can do against a minion necro or decap built engie sitting on the skyhammer, and whoever controls the skyhammer wins the map. This is particularly true if you’re not playing warrior with a constant stream of stability. Minion necro sitting on the skyhammer are a serious cancer, their minion deals a lot of damage despite the necro being built like a tank and if you try to avoid the minions and leave the area in front of the gate you’re just asking to get feared out of the edges. And yet, if you don’t take this risk, you’re going to die (from the minions).

And again decap engie survives damage pretty well while being capable of killing people on this map without having to do actual damage (be it power or condition based) at all.

This map is cancer. I don’t usually care that much for cheese builds like decap engie but it brings a whole new meaning to the word cancer when they sit on the skyhammer.
