For anyone that's played a MOBA for more than a couple of months, their individual maps become ingrained in your memory. You could navigate Dota 2's battleground or the Summoner's Rift in League of Legends with your eyes closed. While some other MOBAs push the boat out with multiple maps or limited-time modes that introduce some twists, the familiarity and rigidity of the arenas is a core competitive tenet of the genre. Looking to spice things up, Predecessor is now ripping up that golden rule. Born out of Epic's failed Paragon and still trucking on more than three years after release, Predecessor's next update introduces World Shift, a new mechanic that will alter its map in the middle of a match.
