New World's Edge is Terrible

I used to love the Refinery, the Sorting Factory and the Trainyard, and now BAM! they are all gone. WTH?

The replacement POVs are just awful. The wreck of the Trainyard is the worst - as soon as someone gets on the remains of the raised carriage they are 'King of the Hill' and tough to dislodge. The openness is a Rampage delight and if you're in a fight on open ground you're soon going to have third parties arriving to down you at medium range, even if you win.

The structure with the cable cars ... I hear footsteps! Where are they? Above me? Below me? On the roof? Behind this wall? Breathing down my neck? Oh no I am being chased I am doing to duck through this door oh its not a door its a weird alcove and I am dead. Oh no I am being chased I will jump through this gap oh no it's not a gap it's an unbreakable window oh I am dead.

Took me two days to grind through Bronze ranked on this bleep of a map.

I liked the last changes they did to WE (aside from the fact that Fragment is not now a huge crater) but this time around ... yeah, naaaa ...

@EdwardDLuffyThe pubs are miserable, I mean they already were on Worlds Edge but these changes made it worse. Either I land Fragment or Lava Siphon or 4 squads left before first round even closes. Sorting factory was a hot drop too, but now it's way worse.
And Train yard? I thought they were going to make it better, but they blew up everything and now it's just open space. 0/10

@EdwardDLuffy I don't mind the new maps. I'm having the same problem you are in the sense of not knowing my way around the new areas... bonus... nobody else does either. We'll figure it out.
You know what I do miss. SkullTown.

Oh I love the new POIs. The fights there are so interesting and new. As there are 3 floors in the main building of lava siphon the audio just gives up and like what you've said, you're not sure if they're below or above you which is definitely annoying. Other than that, I'm disappointed that the new POIs did not change how people rotated in WE. It's always Fragment still. They replaced sorting factory (which was my fave POI) but it did not change how people played in WE. Conclusion, Fragment needs to go but I can definitely see streamers crying about fragment blowing up again.
Also this debunks the argument that "just give good loot in the new POIs and people will drop there". People will drop where they can kill other people not because of loot with the prime example of Estates, where there is not enough loot for 5 squads, in Olympus while lava siphon in WE has good loot but people still drop at Fragment.

I'm not a fan of the new Poi's. I do miss sorting factory, I liked that area. I do like the new gun but I am struggling a little but this season. I'm not very good at this game but I'm being put into lobbies with preds and platinums. I'm in the UK and ping is 16-20ms. Not sure why I keep getting put into such hard lobbies. My teammates are just as bad if not worse than me and we get destroyed quickly.

I'm really liking the new WE. Lava Siphon is awesome, the new rotation through the mountain is great. Epicenter got a nice makeover with a nifty new zip towards fragment. The lighting!!! I'm diggin it. I feel like something good is planned for where train yard used to be, it's not going to look like that forever.

@BaldWraithSimp man, They clearly made it for Seer to be way more effective and Ppl still land on Fragment. Even I do land on fragment, b/c audio and FPS is crap in new positions.
