Yes you can have a new map, why cant you have a new map more often?
And the dev's here are fools, why make us play the same map for 1 week and then have that map have a longer rotation than the returning map that has not been played for a few months? it doesnt make sense, they should at least put storm point on rotation for 1 hour and worlds edge should be 2 hours, thats the best playable map right now
@jerky-ruksPerhaps there was a miscommunication when you said "where's the new map?", It conveyed you wanted a brand new map in addition to all the ones we already have. This would add more problems and increase existing ones. But rereading through I think you meant the map that was added back.
Now I love stormpoint as does a considerable amount of people. It's beautiful, changes play style from what all the others promote which is thinking things through rather than drop hot, rush in, instantly lose. A very simple process I've written before helps immensely for those who tend to rush in or find themselves in a bad situation.
Assess. Identify. Evolve.
Assess the situation- two other teams in the area, one prowler nest.
Identify the problem- my team is pinned by both teams near a prowler nest with the ring coming in and only one way out guarded by one team.
Evolve- I'm Mirage, we have a Gibraltar and a Maggie. While we have time before the ring comes too close one member deals with the prowlers while the other two keep the teams at bay. Now account for depending variables such as weapons and abilities. For this I'll put a very favorable situation. Gibraltar throws his ult, which was saved all game, to the furthest team. Maggie pops her ult to the exit. I run in first pop my ult making the other team guarding the exit focus on a possible Mirage attack allowing my team to run through.
One of the main read people don't like stormpoint is that theyr forced to think and act differently, more so with the new ranked system. This process can be applied on any map but people refuse to think things through. So just like every map stormpoint has the same problems more so pertaining to player mentality.
Again drop hot, rush in, instantly lose.
People complain on not finding fights. Again every map has this problem when everyone drops hot and everyone except one team is sent back to the lobby. This is amplified on worlds edge, my least favorite map simply due to fragment alone. More than half the lobby will drop there and anyone who dropped somewhere else will only find a few fights. On kings canyon it's Singh labs, on Olympus it's gardens, estates, and hammond labs. On stormpoint it's barometer, antenna, or storm catcher to a slightly lesser extent.
Now you can have your own opinion, but there are problems across the board that every map shares that can't be focused on just one map. In my opinion stormpoint is more fun, more interesting, and has more benefits.
