fair enough
i agree with most here its w take
except haven, I have an unpopular opinion that its garbage
not a bad map, fenis best map, but I'm shit on it
haven super overrated and i think breeze and pearl with good changes would be better than it. so kinda same
I actually agree, Haven feels so weird for me to play, idk what it is. I really wish they had done some changes
haven overrated = slander
perfectly balanced attack and defense
mid is useful unlike most maps in valorant
comp diversity
zero spam post plant
fun to watch and play
legit zero negatives to the map but somehow ascent which is heavily defense sided and has zero comp diversity is above it or even lotus which also has no comp diversity and is just a spam fest on a
not fun to play and you can spam postplant more than ascent and there isnt comp diversity cause when there isnt an op ass agent the comp is kj-omen-breach-sova-jett 90% of time and i dont like how many lanes there are and i prefer ascent and fracture and lotus and split
there is a reason a majority of people like haven (its because its fun to play)
im not saying it has the most comp diversity but defiantly more than ascent or lotus
bro hates maps that have 5 lanes and then lists split a notoriously defense sided 5 lane map
split is different to haven where you have to fight to make it 5 lanes. split can be a 3 lane map if you let it become one but haven all the defense can do is make it a 4 lane map by taking A main.
split is much more strategically interesting cause the map punishes teams who are too inactive.
haven is 5 lanes which can become 4 if the defense pushes A but can also be like 6+ if the attack takes space A and garage and B.
if split is defense sided then haven is attack sided.
haven is fun to play only maybe because it is simple and easy
haven is defiantly not easy and yes your right but its still 5 lanes that can be turned into less lanes if you fight for control haven also punishes teams who dont fight for a main that is literally the entire reason breach is played on the map its to get a jett posted on a main so you can over rotate over to the other sites and bro window is not a lane thats like calling mid nest on breeze a lane.
I feel like Haven is one of the more attack sided maps in the game ngl. The massive amount of lanes can be super annoying to defend unless you are your team mates are heavily coordinated. Still definitely top 3 for me tho
the winrate says otherwise but i agree sometimes in ranked it feels hard to defend but thats just ranked if your team isnt coordinated and if a map takes any coordination things are bound to be hard
fracture is the only valorant gimmick that has gone right besides 3 bomb sites and breakable doors if you count that
Breeze is actually giga cancer I have no idea how anyone finds literally a single positive in the map. A good 90% of Valorant is totally incompatible with it (every agent except like 7, every gun other than the snipers, guardian and vandal, the entire defense side) and the strategic side of the map is actually more shallow than the stab wound I give myself every time I queue into this embarrassment. Whoever designed the map should be paraded around the streets and publicly humiliated, and should never be allowed within 1km of a keyboard ever again. Having it anywhere other than last genuinely makes me think you're a slitheen
I must say that I loved the pre-changed Breeze. But after its first time being out of the map pool, I hated it. Bring back my old Breeze, or at least chang it so that it doesn't suck as much as it does nowadays.
IMO the rankings are 8-10 can be flipped.

this is the opposite of typical...
most players choose to hate map(s)
a large majority of the community is stubborn and heavily dislikes map on release
this has happened with every single map from fracture to breeze
based list I’d move Icebox to 8
First will be whatever ur favorite is but Fracture is objectively the best imo, maybe swap bind and lotus jus cause the 3 site maps play the same
ion think so it’s jus hated thru rank or lower ranks really because it’s super team coordinated. When you have a team who knows how to play it’s ridiculously fun
As someone who stopped playing, my rank is more centered in my opinion as a spectator rather than as a player:
- Haven: by far my favorite map due to various comps, different strats, mid is important.
- Bind: love that attackers have a fast rotation thanks to TPs
- Lotus: a heavily attack-sided map, fun retakes, unlike Haven there are fewer ways into the sites, so the 3 sites feel different. Plus, the comebacks are exciting.
- Fracture: I love how fast you can farm ults. It allows a fast paced map that requires coordination.
- Split: Kind of a love/hate relationship. It is usually a defense-sided map, but when it is not, attackers dominate it (look at Shanghai, 61% Attack WR)
- Sunset: Hey guys, let's go B and hide in main.
- Pearl: Read Sunset.
- Breeze: I still suffer since they took a map that I loved out of rotation and then murdered it.
- Ascent: Always the same comp. The map is too repetitive.
- Abyss (haven't watched/played enough, so it will probably change): Feels like Icebox, constant executes and post-plant. Mid doesn't exist.
- Icebox: Read Abyss
