Oh dont get me wrong, i love the game but time to time overgross and every PvP map exept capture/faceoff is a mirror map.
In ow one side changes the feelings of the map, thats all. If we ever get an orde mode or something like that we could use some asymetrical maps.

Correction: in ow both sides roles are scripted. Game tells you what you do and when, and thereās nothing you can do about it.
More over: you donāt actually need asymetric map to make gameplay ārole basedā, CS being one example. I could even go as far as to say that Blizz orders his casuals around, yet Iāll wont, coz itās too simplistic approach.
In Bb you have the same conditions and map content for both sides, just you decide how you use your resources and when - some kind of sandbox isnāt it? Yes, the maps are āmirrorsā, but the course of action isnāt: you siege, you sabotage, you defend, play to win by k/d ratio or by protecting minions, you play safe to win by points or by total domination, all change dynamically during the course of action, heck you can even surrender.
More over: those simple āmirriorsā actually do exactly the same as those meticulously āprogramedā maps in Ow, but more, well, naturally: you do have choke points, you do get your win more problematic as you progress due to two stages of progress, and yes, you also have crucial power-up points of interests, just non of this options are side exclusive, or even mandatory. One could even say, Bb mapsā design is moreā¦demanding.
The thing is there are some good gamemodes, Itās just the maps, they seem to repeat over and over. If youāre new to the game then sure thereās quite a bit, but if youāve been playing for a while, youāve played each map at least 20 times.
Iām gonna re-state what I was trying to get at. Thereās not really a lack of game modes, but it would just be more⦠interesting if there were. Because to be honest after playing just five matches in one game session it gets a bit boring.

Whatās more boring - playing with different players on well known maps/gamemodes, or having more gamemodes and waiting for +30 mins in any queue?
Incursion:
Thereās so little remaining real estate, this is where they set up base or sell it to LLC chumps for their factories.
Capture:
They capture energy used to power ships and such.
Meltdown:
Theyāre stuck with a tyrannical magnus who wants to kill them.
Face Off:
Varelsi resurgence. In order to close the portal, Boldurs programming (hitting the machine) made it so it runs off Varelsi faces. If you donāt have 500, you get ducked in and fight more Varelsi.
All but Faceoff are canon, my description for Faceoff was just the most logical choice
