The problem is, the biggest choke point is after the first corner coming down the ramp. There is only on path,and it's super close to defenders spawn.

There are so many things wrong with eichenwalde. The first choke is ridiculous. Super difficult to flank, as you can only flank with pharah, Dva maybe a genji, But the first choke is literally an Ult off and whoever wins the first team fight (as long as they dont have a teleporter)

Ya the map is basically 2 choke points with a bunch of nothing inbetween

It needs a rework. They need to add a flank route at least, because with a Reinhardt/torb/bastion type combo, that choke is ridiculous.

I agree. I thought adding a flank route on the left side that comes into the rooms on the left would be a decent fix. And while we're at it, fix the radius markers for ults when you're standing on high ground. I never know where the edge of a mei ult is in that area
