Look at the map for it's popularity, not if it's good or bad. A bad map for you may be good for the rest of us..I hope common sense prevails and you don't change anything on Highlander.

P.S. bad enough without the hill.

If roof would be blocked as it is on Osiris or Goliath, things would look black for the server. I vote for reversing changes on both mentioned instead. Roof is fun.
On HL, i find it super fun to storm roof and smoke out those campers.
Same with tunnels. Both fun to camp there and storm it.
Same was with Osiris and Goliath.

What a surprise.

I can't find my original post so I'll give the Cliff's Notes:

You call it fun, without giving any reasons, because you won't admit the truth, which is that you like it for its objective flaws. And I don't respect that.

Maybe all highlander needs is the roof lifts speeding up a little. You are too much of a sitting duck in that little 2x2 cube while you get shot at from below and above. The ascend time for them is like 10-15s. It would make getting to the roof a lot more easily and discourage long term residence there.

Not everything in our life could be described by objective means.
Fun is one of them. Try to establish an objective criteria for an great movie for example. I could imagine only one: if an overwhelming majority of masses of various respondends are calling it great, then it is great indeed. Purely market approach.

I think, for HL roof campers, some kind of threat is necessary. So they couldnt feel completely safe there. Like a sniper nests around with nice perspective to the roof. With cover. To get to those nests, teleports or jumpads are possible. It promises nice battles.

But flaws are always subjective: someone might consider tea with milk a flaw, because the milk masks the tea's true taste, whilst others would argue that the tea is too bitter without it ... I'm craving some tea right now.

I find Highlander to be fun because the players find it to be fun, and if that's because of the 'objective flaws' then so be it. It brings in the players, and that's what the server needs these days.
“We humans do not understand compassion. In each moment of our lives, we betray it. Aye, we know of its worth, yet in knowing we then attach to it a value, we guard the giving of it, believing it must be earned. Compassion is priceless in the truest sense of the word. It must be given freely. In abundance.”

If it's so fun why those same players who claim that they like it whine so much about campers? First they place 10 votes for highlander and then I see endless tears about me being the new bombom. If you like it don't complain then.

Flaws in a map only make it fun when they benefit the person talking :)
