It's a nerf, you can now take sardon's easily.
All you have to do is blink through the halls and easily get to the flag.
No you don't lag, you use blink and get passed the hall "blockers".
If you stay still between the spikes they don't hit you, but once you move parallel to where they are going with them around you, you get hit.
The spawn is now at the top right of spike room. Sort of like MoD.
My thoughts? Now people can't defend sards so easily and keep it 24/7. Great update imo. They should at "longest hold time" to it, since they fixed a lot of things. Now huge guilds can fit through like nothing.
