The new KC kinda stinks

I've been a KC guy for awhile now but these changes where rotations are severely limited and jump towers removed are really poorly thought through. I get that people whined a lot about 3rd partying a...

@hayhor I can definitely see that being annoying. I've been pretty lucky so far, and haven't run into a whole lot of "gate-keeping". I've been enjoying the rework, but then again, I haven't really played much ranked yet (I've only gone from Bronze IV up to Bronze I so far), so my opinion could very well change, when I do. I haven't had that issue in pubs though.

Am I the only one that actually prefers Relic over the original Skulltown? I can't remember if I've seen much love for it. I actually love the new POI. It's still pretty close to ST, but there aren't anywhere NEAR as many people dropping there anymore, at least in my lobbies. KC seems to have the most disbursed drops, in my games.

I still wish they would bring back the OG King's Canyon as an LTM..

@dSKyNafinchin Relic is much better than old skulltown.

I've only played pubs so far but I cannot imagine any decent level in ranked being fun if you get unlucky with the ring vs your drop point. Valk would be a must pick.

  @hayhor Yes! The old Skulltown is better when viewed through nostalgia-goggles. Relic is much better
  
  I can definitely see that. I'm pretty sure once I get up into Gold, that's when I'll start having the issue. Luckily, I main Pathy, so I have some mobility. That being said, it sure would be nice if I could heal on my dang ziplines!!! If it starts to be a trend for me, I might have to start trying to main Valk in ranked. I'm just so attached to Path...

KC feels so much better in rank now compared to the season 12 KC rank split. Can't really speak about the changes in pubs since I only played 5 games of pubs so far. It's the firing range and then straight to rank is usually how we go. LOL.
Those 2 back platforms at Relic are really good with a lot of bins. You can also climb inside of the pipes and rat (but not really since Seers are everywhere).

  @Cheese9Man Interesting. My guess is because you are with friends and rotating at proper times working together.
