Normally a assist can be one of many shot-callers, have you ever been concerned in that side since becoming a member of?

On the map change; earlier than, in case you made one mistake, you would simply die as a result of the map was smaller and every little thing was nearer. However proper now, I really feel prefer it’s far more straightforward to retake the bushes and spots as a result of every little thing is additional away. So I believe with these two issues it’s a giant completely different feeling for me.
