Tower to be removed from Ranked Map Playlist

We will be removing Tower from the Ranked Playlist at the start of Year 3 Season 2, Operation Para Bellum. Tower is being removed for the following reasons:

• Tower’s overall balance is not where we want it to be for a Ranked playlist.
• Due to the size of the map, roamers have an unfair advantage as it takes a significant amount of time to drone and clear the map.
• Our Level Design team direction lends itself to more vertical gameplay.
• Tower does not include the competitive design learnings that we have applied to other maps, such as the buffed Clubhouse and Villa.
• Many areas are too dark for optimal performance.
• Difficult to play in a group that does not work together regularly.

There are now 11 maps in the Ranked map rotation.

We are interested in hearing your feedback, and invite you to share it with us on the forum and subreddit.
