look at post plants, where players die, youll notice COMPARED TO OTHER MAPS mid is virtually untouched, and when u look at where defenders and attackers play + comps they use it gets really stale

shouldnt the fact that mid is untouched and unused by majority of people show it needs a fix, or the fact that the map diversity is stale and the same agents are picked and the same agents win, or the fact that theres like 3 spots on b u can hold from post plant unless u take snowman and orange because evrything else is dogshit

how ru gonna call icebox objectively shit when theres a map where defenders spawn in the middle and attackers have like 3 entrances to attack from on each site and can start on the other side of the map

defenders have the same amount of time to get the same distance as attackers on offense, and its a unique map, lots of diversity and atleast in all my games its close and never feels like defense or offense is just way easier and more one sided than the other, and icebox is just objectively a bad map your in like the 1% who actually think its a good map

It is incredibly defense sided and also Sova is way harder and more specific than Astra. I just do not find it fun to run into the same KJ setup the same Sova dart the same Odin spam the same Jett op the same Phoenix flash the same AHHH bro it's been four and a half fucking years no changes

The map is night and day without a Sova though, and he plays so differently from other initiators, which is already not a very commonly played class in ranked.

Astra is so easy to play. You literally point and click her utility on the map.

astra is easy compared to bloody sova who people spend ages memorisng line ups and charges to ensure perfect util and timing. astra just shits a star on the map and then chooses whether to turn it into 3 things. is like the least skill smokes at least brim and clove require u to make sure u wanna smoke there astra just says fuck u and pulls it back

I completely disagree with how high icebox is, Lotus a bit lower, Bind a bit higher and Haven a lot higher

Okay okay the reason everyone on here likes fracture and hates icebox is that at high level pro play, icebox because very boring and fracture becomes extremely interesting. If you're talking about ranked experience, especially like plat and below, then just individual preference is fine. And it is probably reasonable to rate icebox better than fracture for like silver level play, you're much more likely to have silvers totally lost and confused playing fracture.

That said, you're on VLR, and we mostly think about pro play here. Icebox has an absurd number of angles and positions to play, it's like a shooting gallery. There is no other map in all of Valorant or Counter Strike that has that design style.

The most fun maps are always gonna be 3 site maps like Lotus and Haven.
Rest is personal preference depends on what agents u main.
