I've never had more fun in an iron banner than this last one. Partly because of how much better the reward system is, but mostly because it was clash.
You can actually get a decent amount of games in a short amount of time. Most games were really close, and it felt a lot more tactical than control. In IB control I find myself sacrificing my life so we control B. Everyone is trying to win, so usually the zones are flipping the entire game. I spend more time sitting at B and worrying about our score than actually playing the game. Also you can be at the mercy of the other team if they control 2 zones and pop supers like stormtrance or hammers. The points just get out of control (no pun intended).
I know a large portion of the community prefers control, but I would love to see more clash and I can't be the only one. Why not have 2 separate playlists for Iron banner each month? Those who like clash can play it, and those who like control can play that. I'd love to do a bit of each to keep it fresh. Or if they want to keep it 1 playlist maybe rotate clash and control every other month. Hell, maybe even throw rift in there!
What do you guys think? I would love to hear the community's thoughts. It may sound selfish, but I really don't want IB clash to be a 1 time experiment.

Why not make iron banner crucible wide and have it optional and have regular crucible still there?

omg please no rift...too many randos and casual pvp players cant wrap thier head around the point of control...heck no to rift being thrown in...the reason i liked clash this time is because even the most noob of pvp scrubs that poke thier heads into pvp for dailies only then IB when it rolls around can figure out clash....just go shoot the other team

I'm for a rotating banner, but not rift. Zone control, Control, and Clash. That would make for an interesting IB.

1 ReplyRotating like the legacy playlists would be an interesting twist also. You fly in and then find out what map and what playstyle you are working with. I thought I was going to hate clash, but it turns out I had a pretty good time and did significantly better than normal.
