Apex Legends Map Rotation

Who else is majorly upset about this map rotation dilema ? I can not stand the fact that I'm forced playing a map I dont want to be playing on . I'm happy with the rest of the updates and event but really not happy about this map rotation situation , makes me totally not want to play this game right now . I hope there is many people that feel the same way and it would be great if this could be seen or heard by the developers as I ain't a streamer that can get the word out the same way . If this issue is not fixed , I'm sure not only me but lots of other people will stop playing this game because it's not fair being forced into playing a map you dont want play on because you cant change it . Hope we can get this out there . Thanks

  • There may be a simple solution to this. Have duos and trios rotate the maps separately.

    I.e. when duos is on World's edge, Trios is on Kings Canyon, and vice versa.

    This way they don't fragment the player base and queues anymore than it is (assuming this is the reason for not allowing selection of maps) and players still have a choice. 

    Of course this doesn't solve the case for 3 friends, but it would solve at least for solo / 2 friends without changing too much which is a good thing 

    Thoughts?

    RSArussian .. Not a bad idea to be fair , I still reckon it would be a better choice to be able to just choose what map you want to play , even hardcore kings canyon fans love worlds edge so why not just make it a permanent choice . Dont be scared people will only play 1 map because at this rate you just loose loads of people because of this situation anyway . Or atleast put the rotation on every 6 hours pr 12 hours it changes , not every hour and half . That's the minimum if they wont change it to a permanent choice.  In my opinion anyway

    @ARDA_Rogerjak Yeah possibly. I'm not sure that without the choice it'll help. Maybe a combo, duos trios and ranked on different maps, and every 30 minutes or 45 minutes the map wheel shifts. This was you can always choose what map to play on, or worst case (as three friends) you have a choice of two.

    You could make it that Ranked plays on the map the trios is not. Then you have a way for players to always choose the map they want, it might just ranked at that time, or not. Players who only play ranked get varied ranked play, but also players who don't usually play ranked will be encouraged to since the map they want is on it
  • @JRDDON Yeah it's one of those cases where everyone said "bring back kings canyon" but the practicality of it is actually harder I suppose. Including duos, trios and 3 map choices fragments the player base a lot. Personally I love new Worlds Edge as the permanent map, and am happy with events on other maps.

    Also, I can imagine respawn wouldn't want to rule out the possibility of adding new maps in the future, allowing free selection would make it tougher for them going forward.

    Anyway, I see they have a lot of problems to try solve with bringing multiple maps in, I just think they chose the worst solution overall. Really hope they come up with a better system
  • Hei. Apex Legends in one of the best game ever made but like most people said is really hard to like it with the map rotation. I have been playing it since it was released and I like WE more than KC, it basically suits my play style more . When  WE map was the only one  I was playing it non stop but now I am forced to put my controller away because I and the rest of the players  are forced to play a map that we don't want to . Is really hard for me to enjoy the game when I have to work most of the nights and got only one hour  to play my favorite map and when my program is finished i have to wait 2h for WE  to come back. The game is lovely , I can't wait for the season 5 but since then I feel like I lost my  connection with Apex . (Makes me really  really sad that I cannot evolve the way I want it ).
