Re: Kings Canyon is overrated garbage.

@BigBlackCaustic Kings canyon is the better map overral, the fighting was a LOT MORE EXITING, it actually took skill to survival, there was a lot more cover, you had to be tactical in the way you moved, loot on the map did need a bit of work, but it was 100x better than worlds edge.. Worlds edge summed up is just long range galore, no cover, choke points cut off by a team camping, you cant run away or any other direction because the storm is too strong, theres no way to go from cover to cover, oh did i forget to mention the g7 3 hitting you in the head for an instant kill? most guns 4-5 hit kill you now. If you are going to talk about the map, please actually make sense as to why its better or worse. In kings canyon the fights were more fluid and the houses were similar but at least where the main fights were, there was some damn cover. Worlds edge its just running in open fields.

15k kills here, wraith main, playing since s1, new map is for teams who want to sit on top of roofs and spam long range guns all day and then get hyped when they kill someone, kings canyon was for players who liked close range fights.

Kings canyon is better than worlds edge; depending on your play style.

    Waits for bald wraith main jokes from @BigBlackCaustic.  😛

    KC has its problems, like the RNG feeling like its an extra enemy to contend with at times however i wouldn't say its a bad map...it's just a lot more frantic. I feel like the addition of SBMM is what really cranked the difficulty up as like you said there's a lot of choke points  and sniping fields here and there which can be capitalized by experienced players much better.

    I love both maps but both are way different. KC - more action while in World Edge more looting. And my stats shows how different it is. In KC 8,7 kdr 1,6k average dmg while in WE only 5,3kdr and 1,1k dmg. I mean you spend more time for vaults, huge looting places which cost you action against other players.

    Thanks for your comment I just realized i got a lot more victories on kings canyon as the game is  totally different: killing enemies 200m with lstar no attachment while i always die with the same weapon in map 2  and barely touch. Seems the second map is also heavier for pcs and less fps...Hope we can soon chooseot play kings canyon only

    @MoNosDirtyGaming new map is for teams who want to sit on top of roofs and spam long-range guns all day and then get hyped when they kill someone, kings canyon was for players who liked close range fights.

    In S2, I used to carry around a longbow in every game. When World's Edge came around, I stopped using snipers and now carry only short-range/medium-range weapons like flatline with 3x and anvil or hemlock with 3x. If it was sniper infested as much as you make it out to be, I would still be carrying a sniper with me. Yes, it's more in favor of snipers, but the houses provide enough cover to negate them. And the fights require you to carry both short/medium-range weapons, at least that's how it's for me. I encounter some matches(like very few), where I find people sitting with a charge rifle across the map. Both the maps are fine. World's Edge is a bigger map with more heavy design on the houses(urban city) and each house having multi-level design, while Kings canyon features a minimalistic design with short storied buildings. World's Edge requires more tactical knowledge and is better designed than King's Canyon. I love both the maps. Each offers its own unique take on gameplay. 

    People complaining about either of the maps- I am sorry, but both maps are gonna stay. I am not a fan of map rotation personally, but I have gotten used to it. 

    People asking for map selection instead of map rotation- The queue times would be horrible if they ever introduce it. Maybe it could work if they add a crossplay feature as the no of players will be a lot more than before. I don't see that happening anytime soon tho.

    Kings Canyon is by far the best map.

    I was initially excited for World's Edge. But it's so repetitive and samey. The rotation of WE is so samey and boring.

    Kings Canyon has a such nicer and smoother flow to it.

    I'm usually more a fan of buildings and such, but Kings Canyon has a sense of freedom of movement which just feels so much better to play. 

    I really love the variations of buildings, and buildings/structures that link levels heights and places.

    Kings Canyon feels like freedom.

    @BaldWraithSimp I believe that you do not have similar stats to me so your games would be completely different to mine, since SBMM is in effect, I have had random people join my games on my team sometimes, and once they have been invited into my party, they realised how hectic it instantly became. So you personally stopped using the longbox? For me the experience was completely different, at least 3-6 squads per game spamming the g7 from the highest spot in the location I was at, all 3 members of all them 3-6 teams in every single game were using this one particular gun, and because it hits a headshot for around 71 damage, it is absurd that it stayed how it did for so long.

    I do not know if you have noticed, but before the extra parts of cover was added into worlds edge, that map was atrocious, there was no such thing as sneaking up to the enemy, there was no such thing as avoiding g7 spam, and it was annoying as hell getting 10+ kills just to die to someone who knocked you from 250 yards away with a damn G7.

    When the charge rifle was OP, I had the exact same experience, 3-6 teams per game spamming the rifle because it could 2 shot.

    I do not think Worlds Edge required more tactical knowledge at all, because it favoured long range gameplay with minimal cover (hence why G7 spam was soo damn often and no one could dodge it, even me, who dodges nearly EVERYTHING).

    My lobbies have to be harder than yours because you do not see the drastic effect a simple gun had on every single game since it was buffed.

    @MoNosDirtyGaming I play with my friend and his stats are a little better than me. Mostly we face diamond level lobbies, a bit hard for me but I do my fair share. As I said, I have shifted from sniper to close/mid-range weapons(mostly flatline/hemlock with 3x or a g7 sometimes). My friends carry the close-range weapons(pk/wingman), and I just switch my single fire mode to burst/auto if the fight is in CQC. I only pick sniper if it's kraber.

    You used to use the longbow, you haven't mentioned the G7, So the statements I made above shouldn't even give you an opportunity to reply to it in its defence.

    I have 16k kills in total, 4k damage badge, 20 kills badge, 3.17 K.D. I go up against players whos trackers show things like 35,000 kills and stuff like that. Trust me we ain't in the same type of lobbies. It's also EU, so it's a lot harder right off the bat anyway.

    I had no issues with you or anyone else using Longbow and other guns, but the G7 was clearly broken at the start of one of these seasons, it ruined the game, it allowed for 0 tactical game play, the map was worse off than it is now (since they fixed a lot of issues).
