It's been less than 24 hours since Apex Legends Season 14 went live, and already there are concerns from the game's top players about the decision to include the reworked Kings Canyon in split one of the new ranked season.
Respawn has made significant changes to Kings Canyon's "map health" for Season 14, which includes overhauling some previously campy POIs and improving loot distribution. However, for a lot of top pro players, it seems that the rework hasn't gone far enough to change the fortunes of what is deemed by most to be Apex's worst competitive map. For Cloud9's Zach 'Zach' Mazer, it's clear that Apex Legends' gameplay has evolved too much for Kings Canyon to be viable in the competitive space, although he says he admires Respawn's efforts to cater to the competitive community with the map's updates.
"Dear Apex, Please let KC die a nice death," he says in a tweet. "I respect and admire your effort to keep KC around three years later, however, it doesn't have a comfortable place in your game anymore. Love the constant efforts at making the map playable but we can't find happy ground. Time to move on."
