E-District should go back for major edits
Good level design principle is that from the ground perspective (in FPS) the player should never be confused as to which direction they want to go in based upon the options they SEE. E-District shre...

There are many complaints of the lack of loot on the District map. Wile your feelings are valid, and partially correct, they are factually wrong. District contains the most loot of any map by far. District has 6185 loot spawning areas. However, it may feel like less loot given that it has the least supply bins of any map (503). I assure you if you survive to the second ring where loot is refilled, you will have fully kitted guns.

The problem isn't the number of loot spawns on the map, or the relative paucity of bins. It's the abysmal quality of what is available. Until, as mentioned, the bin reset. At which point the entire issue becomes meaningless as you will get virtually everything you need from just one or two gold bins. The new process encourages bad players to fight early game with bad kit, hoping against hope that their opponents didn't get anything good either. And it encourages smart players to hide until the reset. It smacks of more social engineering, like the much hated ranked changes of season... 14? The whole thing strikes me as a fix for something that was never broken to begin with. Change for the sake of change.

@reconzeroI do agree with your assessment it is a change for change sake (the reloaded bins), but my point is spot on - The Lotus buildings are covered on 6+ floors each with loot. The problem I see is there isn't any other location on the map like it. If they wanted to make a verticality playing map, this one section of the map is a fantastic start. you can have 6 to 8 teams land there and they could all find plenty of loot before engaging each other.
They could make a map one fourth the size of E District, have three POIs like The Lotus, and it would play pretty nice as there would be much more action at the start and much of it with decent weapons/ammo/shields/health.

My worst nightmare. PUBG did this. I hope Apex doesn't go down that road.Pray tell what exactly did PUBG do and why did it turn out bad?
Also, they could shrink the size of E-Dist to half and have The Lotus at the center. That would actually make more sense TBH.
