Map rotation for future seasons

The map rotation needs some serious work in my opinion. These last few seasons have been awful. I think that Olympus should always be in rotation no matter because in my opinion it is the strongest map out of the 5 that are currently out. The second map should be a choice between Kings Canyon and Worlds Edge and should be switched out during the split. I’ve seen a lot of mixed feedback with those 2 maps but I think that those are the maps that are the strongest behind Olympus. The third map should be a choice between Broken Moon and Storm Point and should be switched out during the split like Kings Canyon and Worlds Edge. I just think that those are the 2 weakest maps in the game and should never be in rotation at the same time. I think that this map rotation should be implemented until the addition of a 6th map and that way we would have 2 relatively strong maps in rotation and a weaker one to balance them out.

    Why Storm Point and Broken Moon are in rotation at the same time? Why? 

    Just the color palate alone for 3 straight hrs is enough to force mental illness. Most depressing maps I've ever seen in any game. 

    But to be forced to play both in the same rotation is pure frustration. 

    I won't be playing much if at all until this rotation is over. Its just asking too much to play these two maps as the majority. You have 5 maps in total... more if you count the different versions of each. But 5 maps... there is no reason why the two biggest, most boring game play and most depressing to look at, need to be together. 

    Balance is key.

    Not in the Apex Legends, no.

    I appreciate your strong opinions - I have a few of my own, as I'm sure you've heard.

    But I don't get how Storm Point is depressing to look at or has a color palette that causes mental anguish. I've heard the notion that it's too big for "proper" gameplay, whatever it is that's supposed to look like, but I would have said it was possibly the most visually impressive map in the portfolio. ???

    I'll go along with anyone who says that there's no need to limit a season, or even half a season, to just three maps. But any other map selection criteria that involves the personal opinions of any individual, or even of a player vote, is a bad idea. I've played games that did it and it ended poorly. IMO.

    @reconzero I am glad you like it, and many others from what I see on the forum. For me, it is all dull colors, same throughout, going from say, olympus with multiple colors schemes and a vibrant look - broken moon especially reminds me of a mental institution lol. That depressing gray and cemente look. I just know after a few matches my eyes hurt. Not sure how else to explain it.

    I don’t mind 3 maps and I can kinda see where you’re coming from but I’d much rather have a player vote than 2 weak maps in rotation like Storm Point and Broken Moon back to back. There’s nothing worse than wanting to hop on Apex and seeing Storm Point or Broken Moon fresh in rotation and having to wait an hour plus to get a good map. Especially when the Mixtape maps are bad as well it just makes you want to hop on another game until a good maps hits the rotation.

    I think Storm Point and Kings Canyon are the most beautify maps due to their earth tone colors through out.

    Olympus is hard on the eyes because it looks too bright, too vibrant, too artificial, as does E-District.

    I agree Broken Moon and World's Edge are too grey, but they look better than Olympus due to what earth tone colors they have.
