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.
Shatter feels like you either go pre-made and actually destroy groups of people or you go something like BRD that has absurd dmg vs Nodes and just plonk at them from max range the whole game.
map layout isn't all that great either imo
The symmetry sucks, the node uptime being 100% sucks, it's just a downgrade from the original.
This thread has more PvP in it than the new Shatter does lmao
I have to agree with OP, the new shatter map is much worse than than the old version. It's seriously just not fun at all.
I'd rather have secure back in the rotation if it meant having the old shatter back. At least then I was only avoiding one out of every four days in the rotation. Seems like I'll be avoiding one out of three days now.
From what I know, They never reverted anything to what it was.. sorry friend but its gone forever. The pvp team at square is just so out of touch
Shatter was bad but this is the nail in the coffin for me, I'm done with this game lol I have played this game over the years, participated in all of the PvP content, they we're all deleted.
Everytime it was starting to be fun, they deleted everything, I'm over it
