It makes a difference, but the choke points are too close to the respawns. The respawns are heavilyvantaged towards defending that single choke point, which is arguably too effective, as if defended well people really can't go upstairs. If players blinked coming out of water instead of not that this wouldn't be an issue. Sadly when you switch Into the swimming gani it drops your blink. To be honest I would rather just have if become a solid dirt path surrounding the water respawn.
Basically I just want them to add it to the front of the pond too, and make it surround the water entirely instead of having that narrow path going around.
