Yea I like this idea also but somtimes I never touch potions for whole games. If you go into a battle with a HP pot but the enemy doesnt you'r at an advantage so I can see why a player would want to fight for it in some cases.

I`d keep it full effect, although I would by no means feature such a thing on many maps. Other control points *like it* though would be cool. No further ideas on what those could be, but maybe more will strike me in time. Something like this is supposed to be big, yet indirect.

If you control the flag you will. Besides, this is a point (to be) featured on certain maps, hardly all of them.

with such a powerful effect, i think it should have a negative effect on the users also.

because the capturers of the flag will be able to use potions and stuff;

- a constant health degen should be applied to them but not at a very fast rate

- or creeps do double damage

- or armor deficiency etc.

since the opposing team will be somewhat forced to not use potions, the capturers will be forced to heal every now and them at the expense of gold at the same time.

This negative effect will also be something both teams would think about before capturing. But force them to think fast before the other team take the upper hand.

but i think thats a good thing in one way

if you own the flag that gives you more creeps per wave (and the negative effect was creeps do double dmg), you could play it strategically according to that. so your kinda forced to cap another flag before u cap the major flag.

you just gotta work the negative in a way so that it can be played in a strategic way but benefit the user more at the same time. Anything is possible, just gotta think of em.
