Map SELECTION ! REMOVE ROTATION PLEASE!
I think that it is really cool that player feedback was heard and changes were made to the map rotation system......but I can't help but feel that one of the player's biggest concerns is not being he...

@Andrexal300No.
There is a good reason it was done it a rotation instead of a pick.
If its a pick, the playerbase gets split between the two maps, que time gets longer (as you said, though this isn't "slightly longer que times"), but there are likely few other problems that start happening.
It might not make sense to you, but you are thinking about "what I want" over "what the consequences would be if I got what I want". Please remember, it's not that they aren't listening, its that they have data the supports different information over a vocal minority.
It's also why solo's don't currently exist in the game outside of LTE modes, because it negatively impacted the game along with player retention, and the numbers reflected.
A prime example of this was Revenant's massive buff. Player's weren't happy with him, the numbers very much reflected this, so he got a massive buff that he really should have had at the beginning of the season.
@MonhulioThis might be anecdotal but I'd say it's somewhat relevant as I might not be the only one (judging by the forums, I'm not). But two of my friends I used to play have stopped playing (we played every day until rotations), I still play but not nearly as much as I used to. First couple days I'd check which map is on and leave if KC was on the menu, played if it was WE, however switched to a different game as soon as KC came back on. Nowadays I don't even enter the game to check, I open a random stream and see what map is on, if it's not to my liking I play something else for the remainder of the day.
I have enough coins for the next battlepass, but I'm not getting it if rotations stay. Not out of protest, just the mere fact that I know I won't play the game nearly enough to justify it.
- Regardless though, changes are occurring with the rotation incase you weren't aware before you posted in forums.
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/apex-legends-map-rotation-is-being-changed/1100-6476104/I am aware of the changes although to me they aren't really meaningful at all. I think that if my map selection isnt plausible (which I believe it is) then remove KC in general. Its old. Let the game move forward with new maps and new pieces to the story. Map rotation is a bad system and the feedback has been a resounding NO from so many players. Map selection or choose 1 map.
- @Monhulio And here we are 2 weeks later, I completely stopped playing for the reason I mentioned earlier. It's just not convenient for me to wait out the map I wholeheartedly dislike. People don't like being forced into things they don't enjoy, and it shows.
- @7xRelax I really don't mean to be rude with this statement, but you don't seem to track the game much. There's a LTM where you drop in worlds edge with a P2020 and a white shield, tomorrow at 1pm est it becomes a blue shield, and later it will be purple, then an evo. It's a test to see if this feature should go core. Hinted at more tests in the future to shake up gameplay. If you don't want to provide feedback on possibly not dropping empty handed that's your choice. Long story short, you are getting your worlds edge map in easy pick atm.
My statement stands. No other battle royale game lets you "choose" which map to play in. We already got a 3 way split still (Duos, Trios, Ranked). We don't have the population for it, OR THEY WOULD LIKELY DO AS YOU ASK. And sad news for you, the way things are progressing, Kings Canyon is likely season 5 map, but with map changing details similar to worlds edge. Hopefully widening the map.
SO that actually means IF season 5 map is KK, and IF you choose to play, you would actually be happy with the rotation because it takes you back to Worlds Edge. If you don't play this season, your loss. Can't please everyone.
All I can recommend is: try the Limited Time Mode with shields and pistols for guaranteed worlds edge (if you want), and wait for season 5 info to see if they change Kings Canyon enough in a manner that pleases you.
Otherwise, the rotation brings back worlds edge instead of season 5 KK, which is actually the map you want so....... Is your rotation argument still valid?
PS. You wouldn't be able to even request a specific map in any other BR, so you WOULD be forced into something you "don't like".
