Watching this and what Rodney had to say and then thinking about Broken Moon and Promenade is utterly hilarious.
Look, a good throwdown at the center of the map is always fun! At least for the first time… not so much the 100th.
Fr😂😂😂
Lmao trueeee sup @mokey ❤
Hear me out let’s make fragment but bigger
Fr, broken moon would be sooo easy to fix, just slow the zips by like 20% and get rid of the center poi
Loved all the insights from Rodney
I loved all the insights from that Jhawk guy
OMG!!! ITS THE JHAWK!!!
Amazing job covering all of the POIs. Hope you guys are enjoying the changes we made to the map in S19 🙌
Been having a blast on them, thanks for fixing the broken-ness of Lightning Rod and Pylon!
Saw your videos and sent it over to the devs to fix ;) @@MooreOverVO
Revert the skybox, it looks depressing rn
Stop putting Olympus in ranked. Map is dog water
I love tropical maps, this has been my favorite map and changes are always welcomed. Wish King’s Canyon would be larger and drastically change certain POI’s like the big ship
Such deep insight in this vid. Amazing work dude I know how long you've been working on this one!
Omg every big Algs CZcamsr is here!!!
I was so glad to see competitive Apex on another map cause watching worlds every single time got old
31:46 literally the exact same reaction me and my squad had when the ring closed around the tunnel for endgame
where is it😂
Ye where is it
It's outside of storm catcher, to the opposite side of command center@@mogy7331

@@mogy7331 @itzgbroco7199 NORTH EAST STORM CATCHER
This is absolutely amazing. I would watch videos like this for all of the maps
Especially with the 5th map coming soon
@@user-wy8kk9kb7c I hope ur right
lol hearing him talk about how worried he was on how worlds edge would be received is wild when I think it’s pretty widely agreed to be the best map they ever put in the game. Please bring back trains tho lol I know they had some instant death tendencies but they were so fun
Fragment the map used to be good, but now i believe it's tied worst with broken moon.
maps ranked:
1.storm point
2.worlds edge
3.olympus
4.broken moon
5.kings canyon
This is for comp and saying worlds edge is the worst map in the game just because capitol city was "removed" is hilarious
@@loadshedding_ agreed
Worlds edge best map? Really?
Trains, Train Yard, and Sorting Factory were THE best drops in OG World’s Edge and it’s not even close
Dude i have no clue on why you do not have over a million views. If I were you I would be so proud of my work. I've never been so astonished with just a youtube video. These are so well crafted and just juicy with honestly gripping information. I love it. Please never stop, what you are doing is something I strive to find on youtube. This is perfection with Apex content.
As a casual player I've never really liked this map (although with the update last season it has become a lot better), but watching it played on comp really changed my mind on it. Watching this video confirmed my suspicion that it was designed with comp in mind.
"pray that it doesn't end on the island", true when playing, but if that zone doesn't happen on lan we really miss out on some prime content
A few days late to the vid, but wanted to say - WELL DONE. Excellent production, comprehensive, thorough. Cheers. 👍
Thank you to the Biggest Moofah!
Dude the quality of this video is insane. Great work 👏
Excellent vid, great insights into map design and just how much thought the creators put into their craft
Hyped up for this, gonna be another BANGER!
Thank you for this video. I can’t wait for it to fill me with its hot loads of knowledge. ☺️
Amazing video man, such elegant production!
Great edit. I was not expecting to sit through this. Well done.
great as always.
in my headcanon in a few years we will be able to design our own maps
even small mini maps.
would be fun to see what you all come up with
Hey real good job on this! Thoroughly engaging and you got a solid interview! Thx
great video as always. loved hearing insight from rodney really made me understand a lot more of the devs intentions of how they want people to play the game
This is amazing insight - Stormpoint feels very different from the other Apex maps and it’s interesting to hear how they designed those differences in
It's a Good Friday !! Always hype for your videos 🙌🏾
Incredible work, keep it going man, subscribed instantly
This is an awesome watch. I remember season 1 of apex and then I stopped playing for a while until Storm Point came back. It was instantly my favorite map, despite some backlash. The reworked version only made it greater in my eyes and to this day it’s easily my fav to play (comp or casual). Loved hearing how it all came to be
Another topic to tackle maybe after a few tournaments or majors would perks that affected competitive the most
Insane quality. Good info 💯
Ik this dudes map knowledge is next level
MooreOver remembers me somehow on Spirit of the Law, so can't get really better than that! Love your style, keep it up!
Watching this has made me realize how much i love and appreciate this game even with its flaws. SP goated
Let’s go! Top quality content
Great Video as usual. Thought i was already subbed to you but i def am now. Keep em coming!! ✌🏼
This video is a fucking masterpiece. The best apex video I have ever seen. U earned a sub, I deserve to appear on a lan to commentate🔥🔥🔥 It’s crazy how well made and professional this video is, as it’s from such a small CZcamsr! I applaud u infinite times👏👏👏
I just noticed but in his bio says Esports commentator
dude this is incredible content
This is such a great video holy
i’m two minutes in and already know this video is going to be insane
wow I watched through this whole video, and LOVED It. but I seriously thought u had 100k plus subs, quality video man.
Mooreover is literally the greatest apex content creator outside of the players. It’s not even close.
Cool video. Thanks dude
So nice to see a devs perspective to understand why apex is the way it is
I love the content I see on your channel I’ll have to check more of the vids out
My guy.... best video to date 😊
Devastated coast gang 💪 Having a trident and cannon rotation into launchpad is making it my favorite
I don't play apex any more but this was by far my fav map when i did, ever since it came out. I know that sentiment was unpopular but im glad people are enjoying it now!
This was a great video
wow… probably one of the best apex videos ive watched
Very well done
Omg i also love storm point. I thought i hated it at first but i started to love it after playing the other maps
I still hate it, it’s shit
I've loved this map since the very beginning. I love the long range gameplay that can be utilized which is where I am best at. I can pepper people and then allow my close range players to close in and clean.
Absolutely incredible video. Stormpoint has always been a favorite of mine, it's the subject of my very first video in fact. So seeing the history and development behind it was an absolute treat. Earned my sub.
Storm point ad worlds edge makes you have to think about how to use your abilities more and rotate etc. Best maps and gaming experience .
I'd love you to make videos describing all the other maps POIs
great video. this guy needs more attention. production quality is great, content is amazing and the guy is just a good fucking content creator. get this man on the map asap. he underrated af.
Storm point was such a godsend from the monstrosity of World's Edge.
I wish Olympus was played in the ALGS. Seeing it played in the Asia Festival recently was amazing.
Awesome video , loved the interview part !
how does this have only 6.7k views, thats crazy, you deserve more
crazy to see my fav ror yter here lmao
@@cuppy1199 crazy to see cuppy1199 here
Man, having dipped my toes into game dev really made me feel for those art guys and their back and forth with the design component of the godzilla
4:39 this is what I’m currently missing from the finals. It’s just too chaotic, you never known if you are safe to do anything while apex, even as a beginner feels a lot cleaner in that regard.
The way I've experienced Storm Point: the map is so big and the POIs so far from eachother, the matches become boring. You just loot and get bored so whenever you hear any gunshots you instantly beeline towards 'em to actually see someone before final rings = there's third parties *all the time*
Also, I've never seen a game end at north pad
bravo!!!!
Now if we can adopt the SP 2.0 mentality and rework the other maps' center POIs so it feels like the new Jurassic, it might just help alleviate the pain points of those maps.
Hammond Labs, Fragment/Monument, Containment, and Promenade/Terraformer (I know they're not directly close to each other but it's bad regardless), would legit make those areas far more tolerable.
great video explaining the in and out of the maps.
still a little unclear about what makes a good map though maybe that's more explained in a previous video.
i still wonder besides hopefully making changes to other maps to "improve" them - would each map have it's own style and its the players job to adapt to it instead of complain what is good or bad? not big on competitive quite yet - but i always felt it would be more interesting in a set of games that players have to fight from one map to another and it goes through a rotation that some teams might be better at one over the other or need to change up the legend they play to suit the map to their advantage.
Crazy fact is that we always ending the LAN finals (barring Krakow) in Storm Point
WE
SP
BM
The only maps so far that should be in Rank and Comp. KC and Olympus enjoyers are for pubs.
Best Map in game by miles love it
its fun to fight and rotate there are lots of options and may things to do
Gyser is the best spot for worlds edge as a loba, loot near the vault till you get your ult is a quick advantage. Yeah you can't get a gold or Purple armor anymore but it's a Golden knock or Purple BackPack
WOOO 51 MIN MOOREOVER
really enjoyed this video.
also how do I find that first ever comp match on storm point? I'd be interested in watching it but the youtube search bar is foiling me.
Search the PlayApex Twitch Channel! It has all of the vods for every NA Match Day in ALGS. The specific one you’re looking for is this one: www.twitch.tv/videos/1423747858
@@MooreOverVOyou're a legend
The one thing not mentioned about Jurassic is that it has guaranteed sniper weapons
The best map by far. Beautiful and well designed and fun to play. Salute.
Only gripe is that all the new POIs are way too similar in design.
We need the worlds edge train back
listening about their philosophy about how they wanted to limit 3rd party's abilities to choose where to land on by removing jump towers and instead introducing cannons has finally answered me why they removed the crouch canon jump that was, genuinely, only usable with Storm Catcher, although people didn't really ever use it to 3rd party, it did offer them extra freedom out of the cannons, and that went against their core design.
while this makes sense, i still disagree with this idea and even dislike how much they constantly strive to make cannons reliably uncontrollable by the player; i've come to really enjoy the idea of making special cannons across the map that allow the player to take control of their landing path, and the reason is simple: it's fun, so i hope they revisit this idea in the future and re-consider. they don't need to, nor should, be as powerful as jump towers, but that doesn't mean they have to take all the fun away from the player by removing any and all agency.
Rodney designing a map = good comp map
(See how he did NOT design King Canyon and Olypmus) it proves a point
A…. Storm point 😏
Great video! Only correction is you are no longer able to place evacs or valk ult near the cannon at the top of command center.
This was a thing at the start of Season 19, but has been fixed. I know because the footage in the video of an evac being placed in Command was recorded last week.
@@MooreOverVO wow nice thanks , i didn’t know, I haven’t tried since then because I thought it was not possible anymore !
Im really hoping that the next map is added to ALGS. They should really get pros to play test it like they did for SP.
9:45
After hearing this, I really hope this isn't the guy who designed Broken Moon lol.
A important point you could have mentioned how its size got smaller in S19 for better mid game fights pervious to S19 it was much bigger and mid games where slow
I see you and I can't fight you... *Insert Charge Rifle*
They need to change the gravity cannons. They need to give you the ability to have the horizon slide when you land. But maybe like 1/10 of the distance or whatever. Because when you land and you just get stuck, it’s just a horrible spot to be in if there’s another team
Its a trade off for quick rotations.
That’s the point. It’s a risk
Bro 19:35 gave me goosempumps😭
my favorite poi is checkpoint
Olympus feels like the best visually, World's Edge has the most fun POIs, Stormpint is very solid on both design and the POIs. I dont really play on King's Canyon as much, so i dont have an opinion of that.
I have footage of fuel depot if you ever need it. Was my only drop spot for every game when i hit pred
I specifically needed blank map footage. Since I didn't want any gameplay elements mixed in.
@@MooreOverVO I see. Makes sense. Great video BTW.
They need to block legends from match to match, it could be chosen randomly. That's the only way we'll see more diversity in comp. Imagine how cool it would be for us viewers to see teams choosing other legends other than Bangalore and Horizon because they are blocked for the match.
I still hate storm point in general but as a competitive and ranked map I’ll admit it’s the best I think we will ever see in the game
Needs more veiws
Honestly when you put it like that for Olympus, ie too open and hard to rotate in, it fully makes it sound like a skill issue lol. But I would argue that not every comp match needs 15 squads in round 5.
Anyway, looking forward to this mate.
I mean when the majority of pro teams echo the same point, it gets harder to squeal SkIlL iSsUe lol
@@smallestofpps6974 I'm guessing you have selective reading and the inability to read between the lines.
@@ECGgroup seems more like you have inability to admit being wrong or people having dissenting opinions tbh
@@smallestofpps6974 still this comment has just gone whoosh. You're doubling down on your inabilities but mate, reading comprehension was a primary school class. I'm sorry for your loss. My parents taught me I shouldn't make fun of the mentally disabled.
@@ECGgroup aaaaaand now you’re using ad hominem arguments… clearly deep down you know you’re wrong but too egotistical to admit it
In comp this is my favorite map, I wouldn't say I like it in pubs but Broken Moon and Kingdoms Edge r slightly worse. The map is too big for pubs but it's big enough for a unique rank experience for rotations where u don't feel like ur getting 3rd party and 50/50 all-game. This is a very unique video which we need more of. Talking to the devs and understanding the decision they made.
(Also since u did such a good job explaining this map, can u make a video on why Broken Moon is such a bad map I never played on it, my guess its cause Rodney and so many others who understood apex core map design left or were laid off leading to an incomplete map)
Kingdom’s edge 😭
Og worlds edge was peak apex
@9:38 he talks about how this is the bloodiest location but then promanade exists.
Let me iiiiiin 😢
So what happened with broken moon
I quit playing aoex when storm point first came out because the prowlers made me so angry
Jurassic is still a blood bath as may teams rotate through it and not going around it.
Yes but the whole point is you don’t HAVE to if you don’t want to
@@thomas.cormier1190 i agree with you its viable for pro sceen but while playing ranked or pubs with random teammate people always go from there as I'm telling from my experience i never like to cross jurassic but i can't do anything if others players want to take shortest path to zone i always tend to go around jurassic.
Can someone explain why broken moon is a bad comp map? I really like the map and would like to see it in Comp.
Too many chokes
Every rotation is a choke point
The edge droppers are essentially fucked while the middle droppers thrive.
@@Gingleesthanks
Okay, but whose idea was it to add giant pink dongers in the sky?
This shows that the 300 pro players get catered to more than the 35 million players that are casual
I'm actually surprised to hear this-
I must be missing some aspect to playing the map, because I CAN'T STAND Storm Point in pubs. It makes or breaks whether I play the game or not.
skill issue
@@RedPandaStan the map was is shit imo day 1 and still is. But we have this saying, 100people = 100tastes.. I love olympus tho
I understand the sentiment they were going for but the amount of open space and overall size of the map is more or less the main reason it’s my least favorite map for ranked
That’s a pro overall for a competitive map. It’s ass for pubs tho
47:12 broken moon definitely didn't 💀
