Because I know that someone on my team will go take Zone A and flip our spawn. EVERY -blam!-ING TIME. Even when we control both B and C, they will go take A.
And if the enemy starts taking C, causing the spawn to flip, the randoms won't do the smart thing and go fight to take it back. Hell no. Too much work. They'll go over to the unoccupied and undefended Zone A and proudly take it. Sometimes they'll dance, the morons. It never occurs to them that there's a REASON it's undefended: the other team is BEGGING YOU to go take it.
WILL YOU FOR THE LOVE OF CRAP STOP DOING THIS.
A Control match on Shores of Time, between 2 teams that both know what they're doing, will revolve around taking zones B and C. The only time ANYONE will take A is when Bravo takes it as their first zone. After that, there is NO reason whatsoever to ever see any announcement regarding Zone A. NONE. WHATSOEVER. I don't care if you lost all your zones; go take B or C. DON'T take A. It just makes things worse.

STOP IT. JUST STOP. DON'[T TAKE ZONE A.[/b]
My name is Dog of War and I approved this message.

This. Every time I spawn on A I yell at my TV! I don't think most people really understand though... So I just duck and run to cap B/C and try not to rage about it.
-
If the enemy is capping the one lone flag then you need to either decide to defend it or have two people counter cap while the others defend B.
-
A is Bae ^.~
-
Couldn't possibly agree with you more. This goes with all asymmetric maps. Standing in the spawn for C you can easily control B & C and control the enemy via the choke points in the caves. Remember everyone GRENADES ARE FOR CHOKE POINTS!
-
This is easily my favorite control map with my clan. An easy win most of the time. But then again, we know not to take A and how to spawn trap teams.
-
When you have the high ground though..... 37 kills and 7.4 kd on my Titan last crucible match..... Pretty fun :)
-
Learn how to play B on shores of time is the worst postion in the game any player with a brain would just keep a and c for them selves and let all the meta puppys get themself destroyed trying to take a zone that is so freaking open from all sides you might aswell ask to be sniped A is easily defendable and have such good road to c its by far a wise idea to take it and c and hold them both it takes lil to no time to respond to a cap attempt by the other team to defend those two for god sake control is a tactical game mode that forces you to use your head if you can kill with good KD then just stand in that middle cave and keep the good zones capped DO US ALL A FAVOR AND GO PLAY CLASH CAUSE CONTROL IS REALLY NOT YOUR THING
-
What exactly is the problem with A? Everyone complains about it, but they never say why.
-
I have been summoned.
-
hahaha true!
-
This happens on a lot of control maps.
-
A should remain the same and B should be in that circle thing that's right next to C and C should be by that heavy ammo spawn but behind that thing where people sit and snipe at
-
I just leave the game when I see this map. Midas and snipers. K bye
-
So take A to piss people off. Got it.
-
Next time I won't take A
-
Truee..!!! I keep screaming if someone take the A. Thats the sign that my team will lose. I am not a skilled player..so my opponent were thasame skilled as mine. Keep control the C and B. we know where the enemy will come and easier for us to regroup. Everytime someone take the A everything will be downhill fast. Its take time from A to get the B and C. Longger time the downed player to getback to engage the fight if you take the A.

Edited by DidacticRhetoric: 7/25/2016 5:47:30 PMHappened just the other day when I was playing. Someone on the other team did it, and they were winning too by a good 3000 points. I laughed out loud when it happened because I knew people on that team were raging. We ended up winning that game. On a related note, the map rotation has been absolute garbage this IB. Dungeons, Shores of Time, and Frontier, over and over and over again.
-
Point taken Guardian! This is so hilarious because its so true!
-
The map is completely unbalanced. That is the real problem. The jungle side has the clear advantage and can just snipe away. It's fun when you are on the good side...sucks when you are on the bad side.
-
I agree with you and all and try and do that within my ability but I've been on the winning team more than a few teams using A and B. Inevitably if C turns out to be difficult to cap, which it often is... Someone goes and caps A because it's easy. It's also pretty easy to keep A...
-
Haha my feelings exactly.
-
I agree but I also play PvP on a regular basis. You have to remember that Iron Banner tends to bring in a lot of people who don't do Crucible a lot, so they might not know the strategies for any given map.
-
Don't even bother with A at all!
-
Amazing map. Horrible for control
-
Edited by Mr Fats: 7/25/2016 6:24:17 PMI normally leave when I play this map. It is just to frustrating. But not as bad as pantheon, the most frustrating map of all. Once you get spanned trapped there is very little you can do, specially on control/rift. Even if I am on the other side is the same thing, and worse when my team keeps flipping the spawn.

This post needs to be sent to every idiot in destiny. Finally someone has said what we were all thinking. !!!
