Some people complain about KC because it's too small and therefore encourages third plays, but at the same time these same players want to jump to the hot spot every time. Just look at the current ranked scene; everyone has already halfway jumped across the map, and most players jumped at the start or hot spot.
Personally, I like KC and it's still my favorite map, although I don't like hot jumps because I prefer to play the final ring with a good number of teams (luck permitting).
Drop zones are the best thing to ever happen to leaderboards; they helped soothe players' egos and led to exciting game endings... but apparently there were complaints...
And now people are complaining about KC because it generates third parties... but they still jump to the hot jumps... something is wrong here.
PS: Northern Olympus (Stabilizer, Fighting Night, Transporter, Power Grid, Turbine, Oasis, Fissure or Gardens, Clinic and Cultivation Towers) is just as, if not worse than, some POIs in KC; in reality, KC would just need a slight addition of empty space between some POIs.
