Valorant is such an attack sided game

#1

Why are so many Valorant maps just horrifically attack sided? Icebox, Breeze, Lotus, Fracture, Haven, Abyss, Pearl and Bind are heavily attack sided and regularly end in minimum 8-4 halves. Why are the maps so insanely attack sided?

You're so right we should have more maps like Ascent, everyone would love that

(I know what you're saying, just wanted to make that joke)

because attacking is easier and the majority would say funner

they need to change some of the orbs on some of these maps

abyss orbs are wayyy too T sided with how attack sided the map is already

because defence sided maps are super frustrating to attack on especially when youre playing against a strong defence

I'd argue it's significantly more frustrating to be in an attack sided situation on defence though. On the attack you dictate the pace, on defence you have to either be aggressive without conceding man advantage or respond to what the attackers do. I honestly prefer attacking on Ascent to defending on any of the maps I listed because at least then I can lurk and heavily play for picks

But ideally every single map should just be Split and Sunset, where it's relatively balanced between both sides

Attack fundamentally is just easier. Then you get like 90% of all orbs being attack sided, horrible state of neon all those bad things. It also doesn't help that mfs whine online as soon as a map is not attack sided

I would say defence is fundamentally easier, you have to focus on holding down the chokepoint. Meanwhile on attack you might have problems with entrying

It's still mostly 5v2 or 5v3 with very oppressive utility if combined correctly on site hits

good attack > good defence > shit defence > shit attack
A good attack will fuck over the anchor + 1st rotator and take the site easily, a bad attack will go one by one and give a 5v2 to the defence
