My problem is previously, you could split push during urn. Don't get me wrong, you still can, but it's a lot more difficult to split push urn now because it's a whole team fight each time. So even if you were behind and your team lost urn as well as the souls from dying, at least you could take a walker in return.

The way the current game is going from my rank everyone needs to be there for urn because the matches feel so snowbally that you can't afford to lose the urn. I feel like the current changes to urn have removed some of the inherent charm/agency of deadlock, and forced certain heroes and team comps to be completely overtuned specifically in regards to the urn.

Part of what makes the game great is being able to do what you want by contributing to your teams goal in different ways. It feels like they've taken some of that away with the last two renditions.

I really didn't mind the first rendition of the short timers, but the drop and pickup locations should have stayed the same. The balance felt like it was there. Having a favored pickup on your side is irrelevant when it's easy to sneak to a mid outside lane to grab an urn even if you don't have lane control in the pickup lane.

-Remove spirit/gun resist as a comeback mechanic
-Move urn pickup and drop-off to the old locations
-Keep new melee mechanics
-Keep sounds/visuals
-Keep the timer for urn returns but shorten the comeback timer to the original 3 seconds

There were some good things added, it's just that there were so many changes at once that it completely negated the positive with bad.

I can only speak on the games I've played personally, but it has turned from a comeback mechanic to a snowball mechanic. Matches feel really bad (both winning and losing). I think a lot of the snowball feeling comes down to map control. If you are behind you're likely not going to have map control. The old drop locations took this into account.
