RxPhantom I finally got to play the revamped Castleween today. I actually didn't like it. The lanterns are unimportant, and floundering in the dark didn't do anything for me. The changes looked cool on paper, but I didn't vibe with it.
Allistervf RxPhantom I personally like grabbing the lantern and holding x. When someone comes out of the dark to get you, just release and throw the lantern in their face. Easy knockouts
komikoza RxPhantom I would say lanterns are pretty important to reveal the enemies around in the initial stages of the match (especially when it comes to dark skin users), they illuminate just enough to get an idea what goes on in otherwise chaotic stand-offs. Also, as @Allistervf has mentioned, they're freakin' lethal. 😄
bkramer jej Literally can't see the darker characters at all on that map. I'm trying to stay near the spotlights that are left and just out of nowhere I get knocked out by I guy I couldn't see at all and had no way of knowing he was coming. It's just not fun to play that for me.
UnseenMind bkramer If you hold the lights (or really anything) it makes it more difficult for somebody to knock you out initially
UnseenMind Igor Well as long as they don't come up behind you. Its more difficult for the same reason that its more difficult to knock out the person holding the shield in ice hockey. Ig how the physics works is that the object kinda blocks attacks (as long as they are attacking you from front on)
bkramer UnseenMind Good to know in case I have to play it. I still won't be voting for that map ever any more though lol.
jej xdigital17 When they’ve got so many rgb and light up skins I would say a dark map was needed, I like how they pop
bkramer jej They do look nice, the problem is most people just play the dark skins in order to have a strategic advantage. You can't blame them because other people are just going to do the same. It's just frustrating because most lobbies you can't even see half the players.
UnseenMind bkramer There is one benefit from using a light-up skin on there, which is that it allows you to easily know who your teamate is lol
