Top left mini boss in AW

So I’ve been meaning to ask this question for the longest time. The top left mini boss in war is the only mini that can’t be accessed from at least 2 portals. You can get to the top right one from 2 different portals. You can get to the lower right and left minis from 3 different portals. And you can get to the middle mini from 4 portals. Does anyone know why it’s set up this way?

    Probably because it is a rather easy path

    Probably depends on tier. In my tier that top left path includes power gain and Bane, and Bane isn't an easy node for most players. My guess is that path is hardest in relative terms for alliances between tier 6 and 9, say, when the path is harder but the players might not be as strong. I've often wondered if this was a map design error myself, since when the maps were redesigned one of the stated intents of the way the portals were set up was to allow players to help each other or trade off paths. But the top left is the only path for which that isn't true, and there's no obvious design reason why that should be the case. I don't think the far left path is all that much easier than the far right path, for example.

    I know this question has been asked before, but has Kabam ever answered it?

    Not sure what that would have to do with it. But I see guys get hung up on it every now and then against the right defenders. Outside right path is a relatively easy path as well. But again, the far right mini can be accessed from different portals.

    @Kabam Miike @Kabam Wolf @Kabam Lyra @Kabam Vydious @Kabam Zibiit any reason for this?

    So the OP is a legitimate question I have and would like to get answered. But this post was actually to prove a point. I posted a discussion earlier today where maybe I got a little snarky. It was removed an I got a pm from @Kabam Miike within 5 minutes of posting. But I post this legitimate question and....nothing.

    The moderators' job is to moderate, it isn't to respond to every question. They will sometimes answer questions, if they have time, know the answer, or can get an answer from a developer. Otherwise, "nothing" is what you're supposed to get from the moderators when you do nothing that requires moderation.

    Also, sometimes the moderators respond quickly because the post was reported: they can't keep up with every post that quickly all the time.

    I'd say the reason is that there's 5 minibosses so 2 people to a miniboss, the sections before that on the left side all have 3 paths whereas the top section, just before the miniboss, only has 2, therefore someone has to double up. Since there is no other access to that miniboss, it would make more sense for the outer path to be covered by 2 people, meaning that there are still 2 people on that miniboss
