I would prefer to be able to zoom out a bit more so I could see the whole area not affected by fog of war, I find that when I'm coming from the top down and have the view locked it's hard to see much below me on the map.

Since there is fog of war anyway increasing the zoom out distance a bit wouldn't really have balance issues would it?

This was the first thing I bumped into in my very first match. I don't play with my character centred butt still think the game should be ablte to zoom out more. Playing on a 1920x1080 resolution i still don't have the feeling I can see quite enough of the playing field.
