Complete Lowrise (flagroom rework)

I think that this flagroom is way too defensive, and the building with the added tunnels and reroutes becomes a bit messy.

While there are a lot of entrances, all of them are quite far away from the flag. The closest ones are basically where the current entrances are, and those were a bit too far from the flag for classes without mobility to be effective at capping. Combined with the fact that Soldier and Elf can no longer easily jump off the platform, I feel like Medic, Pyro and bulk classes would be a huge problem in the flagroom.

There are also quite a few more tunnels and routes in the building, and I feel like this could get quite overwhelming for newer players and players who have not played the map before. I definitely had to take a couple of minutes to properly figure out where all the different tunnels lead and where all the flagroom entrances go.

I would suggest removing an entrance or two, move the flagroom to the centre of the stone brick area, and remove the majority of the stone slab area of the flagroom (but keep the pathway over the area at the bottom) so it keeps more of the current Lowrise's gameplay but also fixes some of its issues like the platform being extremely narrow and not viable for classes without mobility.

 

Looks a lot better! May still be a little too big but that's no problem. Can't wait to test it out.

 

I could see where you were going with this design but I believe this makes it too defensive. Being an elf main, this lowers my chances of stealing and getting out of the flag room significantly. Lowrise is probably one of my favorite maps, and I really enjoy the pyro mechanic that the flag room offers. I feel like this map makes me shine with elf in that it gives a harder time with the pyro to kill me. Anyways I don’t think that lowrise should get a flagroom rework, but I could see what you were thinking of here.
