How would you change SP if it were up to you? There's lots of complaining and expressions of hate for it but very little constructive criticism. The main complaints seem to be that it is too big and that too many games are spent running from the ring and not seeing a single team for long periods of time, so here's what I'd change. Have some sort of natural disaster (tidal wave, storm, earthquake, rockslide) or the bag guys come in and wipe out the SE corner, eliminating Fish Farms and reworking Ship Fall and Gale Station to reduce the sizes of each.Add a POI between Mill, Cascade Falls, and Checkpoint or somehow fill in the huge open areas around there. That island and shallow lake is just too big.Put the Tridents inland from the edge POI's and make them less risky to use somehow (faster, quieter, shielded, more maneuverable, etc.)Increase mobility when using gravity cannons so they can't be camped quite as easily.

@HappyHourSumwurNot being of the opinion that SP is too big, the only things I would like to see by way of improvement would be to replace the gravity cannons with jump towers (although the idea to increase mobility on the incoming end would also work), and while I wouldn't add tridents to the interior of the map, I might like a few more around the edges. I haven't experienced that tridents are too loud or too slow or too vulnerable in general (even after the nerf), but I'll leave that to others to decide.

@HappyHourSumwur Everything you said. And more jump towers.

Another vote for more jump towers.And let people vary their path out of the gravity cannons some. Maybe angle in = angle out kind of thing.

@Cheese9ManNortheast corner: I would say it's an elevation problem. It makes a longer drop a lot harder. Combine that with the season 14 edge drop disaster of a shorter timer and suddenly it's a wonder anyone drops anywhere at all other than Cascade, Antenna, or Storm Catcher.Just the same, I'm glad to have all these quiet, edge-of-map drops. I hate it when they add POIs that draw traffic into what used to be my own private peaceable kingdoms. You know, the place you drew the red line around.

@HappyHourSumwur I hate to be that guy but my hope is the improvement for season 15 is the full removal until season 16. Time in which they work on improving it in all of the ways you mentioned.Also more jump towers!

Ideas for improving Storm Point after S15?

@hayhor I'm pretty sure SP will be out of rotation for S15. So while it is on the shelf, what do you think Respawn should do to it to make it better?

@Kyldenar Better yet remove tap strafing overall, and disable horizons passive on gravity cannons.

Improve it? Well... don't know. If they removed hot-dropping I think it would be much better without making any real changes. Same for every map.

The map is imbalanced. The northeast portion of the map is just empty and obviously left out for future POIs but still it shouldn't be left out like that. The fights in this side of the map is also one sided since the hills on this side is so steep. The only POI worth dropping here is lightning rod but your next rotation is usually bad since the POIs next to it are small. This is the reason why everyone drops west or south of the map.

For the most obvious change - Grav cannons need a swivel function i.e being allowed to change flight paths, still fixed movement but now you have an alternate landing option, the problem being which ones are easily eligible - the idea of grand overhaul like season 4 died ever since season 9 Olympus imo, so any meaningful change will take time. Balloons should be prioritized for the fringe areas so people will be more inclined to land on em more often and get out when their done "I haven't played in a bit so it might already work like this to some extent", some open space could maybe fixed with detailed building/s "not the 3 story junk or streamer building like on worlds edge, but maybe a small scale warzone like building - not how want to describe it but something that can contradict the outdoor space the map is known for".
