How exactly does rushing "get rewarded?" All it does is eliminate possible late-game campers. I agree with @xx_360noscope101 fully, especially considering the three main maps I play are Treehouse, Storm, and Pizza all of which have mid very far away and/or have very low diamond generators. Youre seriously saying it's good to waste 5-8 minutes gearing up when I could finish off over half the map in that time? And I can easily kill full teams in that time. Just imagine. Someone is at mid and they see someone building to their island. They can just put the villager down and shoot them off. That's not eggwars and will lead to excessive mid camping.If you didn't get diamonds you didn't play eggwars smart and got too cocky with your pvp ability thinking you can take everyone down with leather gear. Current eggwars rewards rushing way too much instead of building up your defences and gear. As for the emerald generators it should be really easy to prevent your opponent from getting enough emeralds for diamond armor if middle was actually a target for you. If your being killed by a team that's just because they have better team coordination and deserve the win. Honestly I like the addition of emerald generators as it moves the game away from speed bridging to over islands and getting basic gear for the entire game.
