[2019] “During development, we use heatmaps to look at where players land, move through the map, die, etc. We use this data to draw conclusions on map flow and balance. This is a heatmap of Legend movement from about 6 months of testing internally, before we shipped” vía Jasón mcCord apex lead designer.

Some context to this that McCord talked about in the replies to his tweet. You can check out more questions he answered and other fun notes in the thread: https://twitter.com/MonsterclipRSPN/status/1154564887403622400

"Surprised Skull Town wasn't bigger"

• McCord: " Yeah - but Skull Town was not such a hot drop internally. We can't queue back up as fast (not as many players in-house) so each early death means you're sitting in the lobby longer. Made people play more carefully. "

Ding ding ding! Good observation! It used to be a static fixture at Airbase. It was part of the initial layout before we had them flying around.

True! The room at the bottom was added very close to ship as a way to make it more viable as a landing location, and to give another option in that deadly corner fight.

This.
