Why did you take the vertical lifts out of KC?

I realize these were teasers for Horizon but they were also really useful for vertically challenged legends to get on spots they typically cannot get on. Why not just leave them in the locations they...

@hayhor Before Octane there were randomly jumppads on KC... Now we have these exploding firerockets teasing the next legend...

@DeeCay_DK_81 Not sure what your point is.

The devs are clearly teasing and trying new game-mechanics before implementing a new Legends.
They did it with Octances jumppad & they doing it at the very moment with these exploding firebombs, that are falling from the sky. Have you every heard this new whistling sound!? If not... try noticing it next time...
When you are asking for the gravity lift of Horizon to be a set item on the maps is like asking for a black market shop on certain locations on the same maps... Its not gonna happen...!

  @DeeCay_DK_81If you read my original post you would know I knew that. That doesnt mean a good addition should not stay. Just because one legends item doesn't work permanently doesnt mean others do not. This is my point. Right now the areas that had the lifts are very hard to access. On other maps they made areas like this easier. The lifts fixed this in these locations. If not lifts, put some ziplines in. Oh wait tho by your logic that is a legend thing. Please remove all game ziplines then.

    @hayhor I think they probably didn't see a meaningful use for them and they just reverted to a previous map state or removed / disabled the whole system through specifically implemented parameters, to save time. If you remember, there were challenges, timers, etc. tied to those vertical lifts.
    
    Also, it's possible that those lifts were the same asset as used by Horizon, unlike Octane's town takeover jumppads or the ziplines that are similar to Path's ultimate. This case would require a new component to be created so that it doesn't get affected by eventual changes to the legend's tactical.
    
    To make the changes above and get the gravity lifts back is not a very difficult task, but takes valuable dev time from much more important issues. We can agree that they had a lot in the last few days and let's not forget that they have advertised significant changes to Kings Canyon coming in Season 8 as well.
