No, it was way too easy to rush with it. When the monument was covered in wood, you still knew where it was. It's more challenging this way, and more fun.
Boating led to horrible gameplay (I shouldn't be saying this since I used to boat sometimes). If a game becomes a stalemate, all you had to do was go down in a boat and break the monument, simple as that.
I agree with JKawesome, it should be challenging to actually get the monument!
I remember playing Curabitur right after the X was removed and I didn't know about it, I was shifting under the monument thinking "wtf happened to it?! .-." xD
its too easy to rush with the red X. On some maps people put one obsidian on the monument, to confuse rushers, but with the red X that wound never work. So, it was a defensive flaw and an high offensive advantage
I do miss the "✖",
but I believe they removed it in order to make destroying the monument a bit
more of a challenge. There will always be people who completely burry the
monument. Now that the "✖" is gone, blocking it up isn't as bad
as it used to be (It is still an absolutely horrible idea to cover the
monument). As for the removal of boats, minecarts make are a great alternative
with only a little less mobility. However, I find stalemates on maps without
any iron to be extremely frustrating :3
