I don't care if this is the "DNA" of apex, but third parties are too much

It is really getting frustrating now, I bump in to a team, we fight, we got thirded, the party wo thirded us gets fourth partied, the fourth party gets fifth partied. Never experienced so much third...

@kittysune tell that to the 20 people hiding far away sniping at the people fighting. I'm so sick of KC. It's such a boring * map. All people do is hide and snipe 3rd party.

@swift07 That sounds more like a Vantage problem than a KC problem. I get KC doesn't have as much cover at the moment as previous....however, we also didn't have almost half the map using Vantage with free sniper skills and spotting without having to look or posses much skill in the form of sniper warfare.

There isn't really a lot that the devs can do to curb it unless they looked at the distance that you can hear gunfire etc.
I think they could really look at creating a legend who's kit is focussed on avoiding third parties, perhaps creating sound bubbles where the sounds of a big fight inside are suppressed.

  Vantage is sniper type and KC is sniper galore, so maybe the devs wanted to improve attraction to the new Legend, since Newcastle proved not to be so popular during last season. And they do have the numbers (people using sniper weapons, Legend pick rate, etc.), so they plan, based on those numbers.

  That's an interesting idea, but only if you accept the premise that third-partying somehow shouldn't be part of a multi-team game. What's next? A legend who gets 90% recoil reduction as a tactical, and a rocket launcher with a jump pad as an ultimate? I say that jokingly, but somehow it doesn't feel out of the question given some of the things they've come up with lately.

  @Cabowse There is something that the devs/Respawn can do...put some more buildings on the map and place them in the open areas without much cover. Also, some tunnels and more jump towers would help as well.

@NickBeam27 it's a combination of both. Of course Vantage is viable for KC, therefore, she is a popular choice.
