Olympus terrible for ranked

All the problems that came with kings canyon, like third parties and large open areas are present and worse on Olympus. You can tell they wanted to spread out players by having loads of hot areas to drop, which would be great... if there wasn’t so many ways to traverse the map quickly. Loooong zip lines, vehicles, large hills to slide down, balloons right next to other balloons and a portal that crosses the entire map!

I’ve had some of the most uncompetitive final rings I’ve ever seen in BRs on this map. Wide open with only trees and a few rocks for conver with only one area for high ground or a high ground with no way to traverse without pathfinder or horizon and the ring landing on them. 7+ squads left in these areas is just a random slug fest and devoid of much skill and tactics.


Worlds edge should just be the permanent ranked map until a map that actually has some competitive thought put into it arrives or just use different variants of worlds edge from previous seasons for the splits.

    I think the issue is that you cant camp your way in this map. There is always someone watching you. And you being unable to deal with the third party is just means you lack experience or your current rank is not the one you should be in. Olympus is the best map that this game has. The mobility is what this game was built on it. There a lot of people I see camping to 2nd 3rd place with 1kill. Then when they get pushed by multiple squads they cry that its always them, and why not? you see someone low you attack, The strong survive the weak die  

    Sincerely that may be not you, it does happen to everyone, because you cant win every single fight, there is the factor of luck as well. But the old maps are rubbish, dark, depression causing, after the change of Olympus to this current sh*t I don't want to turn the game on. (That is more than 10 of my friends opinion)

    Just my thoughts on the matter

    There's so much to unpack about Olympus that a lot of people seem to forget. Olympus is not the best map for camping. The intention of Olympus, at least from my perspective is that you are on the move and as such you're vulnerable due to the lack of "suitable" cover because as stated already, someone's always watching you. Something I had to learn the hard since I'm a Crypto main is that you can never be to safe when you're playing on Olympus. The issue herein lies with the fact that (and I assume you're a Caustic main) you seem to be relying too much on closed cover that World's Edge has an overabundance of. World's Edge is a camper's paradise in the literal sense of the word and as such, people tend to rely on positioning to outsmart enemies when you can easily get yeeted out of your position on Olympus because cover isn't as closed as you'd like. But hey man, it's your opinion and I respect it.
