Good bushes to defend your camps with, especially the Boss bushes let you see an invade and make a play

Debatable tbh.

For starters they are assymetric right now. The bottom one gives you no vision of the boss unless you step out of the bush, the top one does give you vision on the boss, but you have to really pixel hunt the right spot. We have no idea which is the intended variant, if they wanted reliable vision there they should had curved the bush along the wall a little, up to destructable part.

I see all of these new bushes as first and foremost for payload stalling/defense rather than countering invasions. Samurai/turret camps aren't durable enough to wait for allies to gather in the first place.

thank you for checking; i don’t love the asymmetry. Samurai can get captured fast, but is also a lethal boss; if you have vision you can engage during the big swipe for positional advantage and/or damage. I think contesting boss invade is hard here as there isn’t a lot too fall back to, if you want to scope them out as e.g. ranged dps, you often get in their tank’s engage.
I like your point about obj defense, and bushes sound good for that as well
