    New urn is kinda crazy, it gets claimed SO FAST that the losing team must scramble instantly to try and stop it. Not only that, it’s right above midboss meaning the winning team can snowball even harder and claim both objectives at the same time.

      You really have to be on top of your timers now, if you lose track of the clock and don’t prepare before the urn spawn the other team can really just grab it and slam it before you can contest. I like that it rewards planning and time awareness, and hope they keep it quick.

      Yeah, I predict tomorrow’s fix patch will add a few more seconds to the timer.

      Now sure how I feel about the urn run locations all being mid now.

      Midboss spawning at 0:00 is cool but not sure yet how to take advantage of that.

        It will be contested way more outside of the highest ranks. Even in mid-Archon, very few players were capable of coordinating and moving to the other side of the map. They’d always just continue to deathball or farm around the middle. I think this is why it was moved, to force these AFK players to play around an objective for once in their lives.
