The nostalgia of landing in places like cascades with my squad reminded me of when the game first came out, and how amazing the feeling of dropping into a whole new world on an alien planet was with all these crazy and interesting characters! so when I was told that KC was returning again for ranked my excitement levels were beyond mesur, but to my surprise its the destroyed KC variation that's being used for ranked at the moment, which has always seemed inferior to me, fun at first because it was something new but the leviathans became quite uncomfortable to look at👀, the wiled life being held captive scream way to loud and have shook me up on multiple occasions 😱😂and in general just feels like the map I loves is a méar shadow of its former self. So I was wondering if it was the developers of apex who made that choice and if so did they give any reasons or explanations for it? (Not that would need to) it or did they ask the community to choose which variation of KC they would prefer? That being said I'm gold 1 and still having fun as always so it's definitely more of an enquiry rather then compliant.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@CozmikRonin Thanks for the post, I've seen some love for the OG KC and I admit it's a personal favourite too.
I haven't seen any explanation for the choice, but I think the S1/S1 KC event from a while back went well so hopefully we'll see it return in time.
@KelRiever It's totally ok to not like a particular map, but please be more detailed in feedback. You have some posts with such content, but can you lay off the "x is trash" type responses, they aren't very helpful.

All the KC maps suck

Architecturally I preferred S1 KC, however in light of S2 KC & both revisions of World's Edge, S1 KC's loot sparseness does feel jarring.
If they do bring it back, I'd hope to see more plentiful looting options.

Ok fair enough but there are so many posts already saying why. It is too small, the loot drops are so random they determine who wins fights, there’s no strategy (I posted that myself I’m a different post).
All of that makes for a terrible map that’s strictly rng and twitch based for winning. All my top 5 finishes happened with 0 kills on my part, and often meant I abandoned my team on drop, watched them die and left them dead, then solo played for placement.

''strictly rng and twitch based for winning''
Unless we are rolling dice to see if our shots hit.
Shooters are far from strictly RNG.

I realy don't see how that is the fault of the map.
Seems like a issue in the seat if you ask me.
But blame whatever you want, If it makes you happier

I gotta say, S1 KC is where it was at... except for the level of loot. If we had S1 KC with loot like we have in Worlds Edge right now (balanced for map size) it would be pretty awesome. I definitely think that the destroyed map has taken away some of what made KC great, maybe instead of destroying it add new smaller sections in the places that the map is kind of open. Labs was a really cool way to do that because it has the entire underground section. If we had maybe a few more underground and like aboveground or sky areas that could make KC really freakin awesome and that way it doesn't feel like the map is too small or destroyed.

@DaAceXD I don't know sounds like you aren't so great at this game if that's what you think.
I can place top 5 regularly in King's Canyon, by ignoring my team and hiding. According to you, that makes me a bad player? That's not a map problem at all?
Ok boomer, ignore the obvious.

@CozmikRoninImo season 1 kings canyon is ‘’ok’’ but season 2s is a whole lot better because all I really liked about season 1 were the bridges, when we were playing season 1 i kept going to locations for season 2s that weren’t there anymore and caused confusion so imo season 2s version is the way to go just because its more updated and has better locations
