So I have 2 questions.
1. Does the green team have an advantage in eternal battlegrounds over the other two teams?
2. Is color choice random?
The first stems from looking at the layout of the map. The green team has large swaths of water, but more than that just looking at the towers you often find that the gates are situated such that defenders can hit you from all sides. Whereas other towers have a main gate which is located at the very front of the tower. Compare say anz and wildcreek, the two towers on reflected sides of the dredge area. Wildcreek has a kill zone gate, and as far as im aware, the wall on the dredge side isnt breakable. Anz gate is at the front, and defenders can only stand to the front of you. More than that, anz has a hill nearby at which siege weapons can be placed to decimate anz defenders with a large amount of impunity (youd have to leave the tower and fight uphill to get there)
You also have things like Klovans gully, which has a similar look to mendons, with the exception that defenders can once again stand behind and in front of the attackers.
Then you look at the keeps. Most keeps feature several entrances. A front, a back, and a hidden. The red keep has a front entrance up the path from stonemist. A back entrance from the red spawn. And a hidden one in the tunnel on the west side wall.
The Blue keep has a front from SMC, a back from blue spawn, and a hidden from the well.
The green keep on the other hand has a back front and 2 “hidden”. However the front door forces you along a narrow bridge where your odds of dodging AOE fire is exactly 0. As for the hidden entrances, as far as I can tell they are underwater, which makes them unsiegeable? Also their exits are wells which are beyond laughable to defend.
This moves into my second question. Is color based on anything? Lots of people have told me it’s random. But i’ve only seen my server as green twice, and that’s when we’ve gotten 3rd place. Which coincides with the fact that green seems the easiest to defend. Obviously there’s a chance you could be paired with another server who came in third, in which case the team that lost by the most would be green.
