Apex Map: Kings Canyon

So wait a minute. Vantage downs have exactly what to do with the map? Getting third partied has what to do with the map? Getting gate kept by a sweaty stack has what to do with the map?

The map didn't shoot at you and down you. You didn't have a plan for cover in a wide open space in a game that has sniper weapons.

The map didn't third party you. You went somewhere you didn't need to go and probably did it at the worst possible time. It isn't hard to know where people drop, or where they will move after the first circle is revealed. Use that information to avoid trouble. Or use it to find it. Either way the choice belongs to the squad, not to the map.

The map didn't gate keep you. A squad with a better understanding of position and timing did. There are ways to avoid those situations. Learn them. Use them.

The map is fine. If you learn how to play it.
