    It is indeed worse, the constant uptime of shards means that if you fall behind there's basically slim chance of catching up.

    Then again I'm pretty sure SE doesn't internally test anything PVP related.

    This was always the biggest problem with Shatter. And it was much worse about that before this change. (Mostly because of the Kill/Death point ratio being +10 / -5) It was much harder to 'shave' points from the lead team because of the map layout and this point distribution. You had to kill twice as many of the lead team as they end up killing on yours to even break even. With both teams funneling to the entrance of lead team's tunnel, very little actual progress would be made to close the gap.

    Once a team was around 300-400 points ahead on the previous iteration of Shatter, that team would generally be that far ahead - if not more, by the end of the match.

    You have a better chance of catching up now because there are more big ice. All you have to do is actually pvp and deny the winning team access to big ice. Came back from a 400 point deficit the other day.
