There should be no Z axis in arena.

mugambala is semiwhat ok
blade’s edge is just obnoxious to play for both ranged and melees
whenever a ranged jumps down melees just swap on his teammate and whenever that ranged comes back on top(or afks below) they jump back instantly
and whenever melees are setting a kill and smb jumps down they are forced to swap and that swap-target may have all cds available
Blade’s edge is the worst 
Was about 10 points short of Duelist when I got into a horrible loss streak, starting with 2 nightmare matches on Blade’s Edge and then a few more along the way.
Terrible map. I’m supposed to stand on one side of the bridge and shoot in a straight line, and if I jump down they either switch on the other person, or jump down with me and kill me, because I just LoSed my healer. If I stay on the bridge and don’t jump there’s no room for me to kite and the best I can do is try some lucky bursting shot that won’t bug out to get them off me.
No I still miss orgrimmar arena.
yes please. at least from solo shuffle pool and add new maps …
I don’t know how many maps there are in this pool, but literally half of my games are on blade’s edge this season

My only memory of that arena is getting smoked an entire match by a gladiator warrior, then right before we lost I pressed bladestorm, spawned 3 tentacles with gurthalak and killed their rsham in a throwdown. Stole that win.
how about just get better? . .there are arena’s that are melee favoured also yet i don’t cry when im a warlock on them arenas ?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with XY interactions with arena and blades edge has already been changed to have a 3rd damn ramp to cater to all you cry babys who couldn’t handle the two pillars that were there before the 3rd ramp.
Maybe 5 years ago when 1/3 the melee roster didn’t have great catch tools to deal with it i’d of been more understanding but right now, EVERY melee class has enough tools to deal with being kited in blades edge arena, if you can’t manage it then its a you issue. not an XY axis issue
What are you even talking about.
I’m a healer.
Getting feared down the ramp and running under the bridge in the fear usually means someone dies because they don’t jump down or move to the edge so I can heal them without having to run up again.
Mugambala is just disgusting full stop, you play upstairs with “pillars” or play with a “big pillar” which doesn’t do its job

I have medicore hatred toward Mugambala and Blade Edge, Z axis and lucky fear path =/= skills, its simply dice decided victory or lose
But if i can avoid map something that woud be Black Rook, I dont know why but I enjoy high lose ratio there, I simply cannot find good spot, also cant do much to prevent those high mobility classes there to have 100% uptime, and shaman totems cover good area there… From my aspect this is map which gief advantage but anyone have its own prefference
Solution is alredy programed, in starctaft 2 there is avoid map system, if you dislike one map you can press avoid map, this doesnt mean you wont play on this map, but it just means you not play on this map that offten. So if you dislike some map, it will ensure you dont get it several times in row.
blade’s edge is ready to be removed from the game
Just let people avoid one map like in starcraft 2 and problem solved, again avoid not means you never play there it just means you wont get spamed by map you avoided.
thing is casters are barely playable on blades edge vs double melee because they just swap whenever u jump down and connect on u again whenever u go up because the bridge is 20y range
I dont think this is true, blades edge is significantly easier for a warlock to gap a comp like turbo than Lordaron is.
The Zandalari arena with the big wide pillar I think is the one xy arena i think is too heavily favorable to a number of classes while problematic for others.
PS, also for the people crying about fear, i dont buy into that argument. Fear has more class specific immunities than any other cc in the game.
If you didn’t bring someone with a way out of fear in your comp thats on you, there are plenty of comps that absolutely dumpster on fear reliant set ups with multiple ways to ignore it. Its the most powerful but also inconsistent non stun cc for a reason
