E-district is a terrible map

I tried to play vantage on E-district, but using snipers on this map is pointless, there is cover everywhere, and there are very few highground spots that give you sufficient long range angles.

I spent an entire game with a sniper, trying to shoot enemies, did almost no damage that game and ended up with blue armour.

If I was playing worlds edge, i would have upgraded to red armour or something, but the developers love to shoe-horn in maps that favour SMG and mobility legends.

This is getting old, fix your game philosophy developers, and what's up with pathfinder having such a high pickrate, being blaitantly overpowered when I play him and still not getting any nerfs?

Is it too much to ask for good maps developers? This can't be rocket science, a good map is where every legend and every weapon feels equally useful, and players don't feel squished in by the terrain or ring-choked. Players don't want to get killed by the map.

  • Everything is pointless on this map. It's like a deathmatch map where most character abilities are pointless. It's a mess. I have been negative about maps in the past, but in comparison with E-district all others are fantastic.

    I feel like they fixed a lot of choke points on Olympus.  Hopefully they fix E-district like they fixed Olympus.  I used to hate Olympus but it is much better now.

    "There are very cruel chokepoints and make the map kill enemies due to ring-choke"

    This is a feature of every map, although I will concede that it may be slightly worse on e-district. I guess this is why they introduced mobile jump towers to the game? Not to mention that the map has its fair share of permanent jump towers.

    "There is tons of cover, making long range weapons obsolete, this is bad, because they are part of the game and thus should be useful."

    Agreed. Though I'm sure Respawn could tell us if marksman and sniper weapons see less use on this map, and I'm guessing they don't. Harder to use? Yup. Used less? Probably not.

    "There are tons of tall spikes on the map or wierd structures that heavily compliment vertical mobility legends, this is bad because every legend should be equally useful on every map."

    Here I have to disagree. Every legend IS useful on every map. Some maps may lend more opportunities to some legends. But having mained Valk through the King's Canyon gut job, I can tell you that whatever gains I get from e-district I more than gave up on King's. And again, that's not even mentioning the mobile jump tower that any legend can carry. In fact, if I was going to say that e-district favors any particular kind of legend then it would be controllers, with all the buildings and doorways, etc. Though in the end I think you're right to point out that mobility is king in this game. But it always was, imo. Not a new feature of e-district.
  • I would like to clarify:

    the map has plenty of highground spots.
    But the problems are:

    - There are very cruel chokepoints and make the map kill enemies due to ring-choke, this is bad.
    - There is tons of cover, making long range weapons obsolete, this is bad, because they are part of the game and thus should be useful.
    - There are tons of tall spikes on the map or wierd structures that heavily compliment vertical mobility legends, this is bad because every legend should be equally useful on every map.

    What frustrates me is that the developers made the perfect map with world's edge, that's season 3. And since then we haven't had one map that managed to be better than it. I swear, make me a developer for a day and I'll grab a flat plain, add a few rocks and buildings to it, some fancy nature scenery, and the map is amazing.

    No cover everywhere, no skyscraper-like structures for mobility legends to abuse, no mountain ranges to choke teams and make it so the map kills people etc.

    I have to agree that this is a cqc map. Very hard to get a good mid-range poke going. I'm not gonna say I think the map should be pulled. People who like it up close and in the face should have a place to do that, but the best thing I can say about it is that it challenges my comfort zone. Unfortunately, I don't like my comfort zones challenged.

    I wouldn't mind it so much if the developer hadn't spent the last eight seasons doing everything they could to dismantle mid-range game play. That, imo, is a far bigger problem than any single map.

  • I completely agree with you.
    E-District is one of the worst maps of all time that should be permanently removed from the game.
