The new maps seem to be at least 60% barricades. If you have a zerg that’s fine, but they take ages to destroy with smaller groups. Only other option is to go around… which generally takes even longer given the terrain.

I’m not even sure what the point of them is other than to literally slow you down because they protect nothing of value.

Also pets can’t attack them! #kittenrangers

Bristleback can’t hit anything? Let’s fix the HP bug instead.

They slow people down and and thus make it harder to havoc the northern part of the map when neither northern tower is held. Thus, attacks are funneled to the northern towers.

Basically, it provides an incentive to control a structure in order to traverse the map more quickly while hindering your opponents. The same design philosophy can be seen with team specific elevators.

Unless you have a zerg, in which case you roll right through them…..

Just another way they are promoting k trains and kittenting on roamers
