Granary is still one of the most iconic and most played maps in 6v6, and is also played occasionally in Highlander. Since the first versions of the map there have been numerous changes to it, resulting in more refined and balanced gameplay but it is still considered one of the slowest maps, this results from being an extremely big map, with very tight chokes and easily spammable, making constant stalemates and spam exchange part of the flow of the map.

The last update to the map was in the 10th of July 2013 patch and revolved around balance and symmetry changes to level BLU and RED playing-field. Also removed and reworked plenty of hiding/jumping spots across the map.
