Welcome and Hello Heroes!

Tencent's popular mobile moba game Arena of Valor is having a massive changes on its 5v5 Antaris Battlefield map. From heroes' based, turrets to jungle monsters, the map is completely revamp from its darker vibe into more vivid environment without sacrificing its signature realm. Its redesigned map is not just its aesthetic look but gameplay mechanics has been changed as well. Being a month on test server, the new Antaris Battlefield will hit regional servers starting with Taiwan this August. Watch the full map overview below by Garena AoV Taiwan.  


What do you think about the big changes in Arena of Valor? 

:OPINIONS:
Although the map gives a refreshing look, not all AoV players are happy about it. Some players think the old map is still better than the new one and suggest that they should just add more details to it like on Nintendo Switch version. Browsing from the Official Facebook page of Arena of Valor Taiwan, I notice a lot of sad and angry emojis, most of the comments too think that they should just stick to the old map design and improve some details of it. One thing I notice too why they hate about it is it's almost identical to its King of Glory counterpart which is very odd to me cause they are basically the same game. Visiting though the Realm of Valor (Arena of Valor Thailand) Facebook page gives opposite remarks. Thailand is the second region to taste the big changes in AoV. Majority are happy about the changes but some are skeptical about the jungle monsters appearance, some point out that it looks like came out of Pokemon. In my opinion, the old map looks great on its own but it somewhat outdated. The new map gives a refreshing and vivid look. I'm playing King of Glory too and honestly, in terms of look, they look identical but both have their own characteristics.
