Map rotation suggestions

Hear me out, as much as I like Broken Moon, I don’t want it to be part of the rotation for the whole year. Storm point is my least favorite map but being rotation for a whole year exacerbated my frustration with the map. 

1. Pull newer maps out of the map rotation even if they’re new to lessen the fatigue playing in the maps. Don’t wait for season 19.

2. Better to just have all the maps in rotation. Even if I hate SP, I wouldn’t mind playing a few games in the map from time to time.

3. Map rotation should only be 30 minutes. 1 long game or 2 short games then the map changes. 
4. There are lots of arguments against this one but I would also like map rotations in rank. There are splits where I would refuse to play rank at all just because I hate the map for that split.

    I dread to think of the file size if they have all five maps in rotation. It's already >70Gb on XBox with three maps. I am not sure if there are 'hidden' maps too? I don't play Winter Express but am sure last time I did (2021) it was on an old version of WE. Gun Run was played on an old version of KC too, albeit a smaller version. All this has to be stored on your drive.

    Would removing the arena maps help? I'd always assumed that arenas maps formed part of the main maps, but were completely inaccessible when playing BR (unless they are played at main maps areas, such as Hillside or Artilliery).

    @Cheese9Man 30 and 45 minute rotations are needed. I've said this for a couple years now. When SP comes back for 1 to 2 hours I'll be back to not turning apex on.

    This season has been the best for pubs. I am getting fatigued on BM tho. Every game seems to come down to 8 teams fighting at promenade.

    Sounds good to me, but doesn't everybody hate every map, except maybe Olympus?

    Storm Point sucks, Broken Moon sucks, KC is too small, Fragment hot dropping sucks!  The community is Goldielocks when it comes to maps with only Olympus getting close to "just right".

    @HappyHourSumwur For me only SP sucks. WE has the frag issue but I still play it. The others I enjoy but I can see promenade becoming a big issue down the line as the map will feel repetitive to more and more people.

    Having all maps and having shorter map rotation times would remedy people being frustrated in a singular map. And yes Olympus is the best map right now. Lol.

    @EdwardDLuffy I don't know how they work it on Xbox, but all the PC assets are in there. The issue really is - they just don't remove the unused last season assets. I am fairly certain the old Kings Canyon map is somewhere on my drive. They will just patch it for the next season it gets used. While rumor has it, they plan to remove the Arenas, the replacement would be Control with larger maps.

    I think the rotation time should be 45 minutes minimum. This would give more time to play at least 2 full matches on your favorite. I shouldn't have to look up the map rotation on some external website either. It should be displayed as it is for Arenas. With the population at a low point, it would not be a good idea to offer a choice of maps to players. However one could make plans to play their maps at the time displayed within the game.

    @HappyHourSumwur I do like Kings Canyon and Olympus probably the best, I don't "hate" any map, I just dislike World's End the most. The positive I see about WE is Bloodhound's Trials, assuming you have good communication with the team, and no one drops in on you.

    @hayhorI like all the maps, including SP. None are perfect and all could be improved, but they all have good things about them.

    Shorter map rotation times would definitely help since long games take 20 minutes or so but you can literally die in seconds, too.
