The objective spawns locked
An objective appears, holds for a measured 30.06 seconds, then unlocks. Across 156 Cursed
Hollow tributes not one was taken sooner than 36.75s — a 30.06s lock plus a ~6.7s channel.
Every figure on this site is timed to the unlock, which is when you can actually contest it.
Two widely quoted figures are wrong
The community reference adds that lock a second time on two maps. Cursed Hollow is
50–90s, not 80–120s, and Alterac Pass is 110–150s, not 140–180s. Volskaya's capture point
charges in 48s, not 52s.
Guides can't check each other
The Heroes wiki and Nexus Compendium both updated from the 2021 community sheet within
days of it being posted, so their agreement with it proves nothing. Replay files are
independent evidence, and they reflect the build actually installed.
