New Map???? | VLR.gg

Penqu1N

It has been 8 months since Abyss released on June 11th 2024, and the current map pool is pissing me off. I feel like VAL needs a change.

A new, simple map kinda like haven or ascent is ideal to me. I feel like riot is trying to hard when they create maps to be different, and in return the map just sucks, ex: abyss

I think the next map pool we should see some changes that are different, I HATE the map, but seeing breeze again would be different and maybe Harbor would be picked for once

Heres what I think the new map pool should be:

Ascent
Haven
Lotus
Breeze
Bind
Icebox
New Map

LMK what u think

Icebox, Breeze, and Bind are far more simple than Haven in a macro sense

Breeze is only simple because the only thing to do on that map is fucking shoot. Whole map is wide fucking open. Haven is 3 sites, been in the game the whole time, has had a pretty consistent meta the entire time, and doesn't have and weird doors, ropes, teleporters, etc that Bind, Icebox, Ascent, and Breeze have

haven consistent meta bruh
we've seen agents like viper and neon come and go, we will see tejo and maybe astra come and go, and we have the fnatic yoru iso comp from last year which is different from the standard meta comp. we've seen most sentinels, pretty much every duelist, half the initiators, and half the controllers, and you say its a simple meta
theres like half a dozen different viable comps and playstyles

Yeah its still a simple meta though??? In terms of just ability to be on a team with little to no practice and be able to understand the map and play style you want to achieve, it 100% is the one of if not the simplest. Agents change sure, but that doesn't always mean the entire meta is changing. When I played Funhavers and All-Stars, the only 2 maps my team didn't practice were Haven and Ascent because they are simple regardless of agent comp. Tejo might be meta now on most maps, especially with breach, but the same ideas and strategies are still present, fight a with a stun, smoke off op long, omen cross with tp, cypher lurk mid with cam on boxes, etc. Haven is definitely a simple map in comparison

Abyss is actually not bad in my opinion like the actual map layout and falling off map mechanic can make for some very unique plays, but I really really hate the visual aesthetic of abyss since the start its way too simple and bare bones with almost no details on any wall whatsoever its just plain boring like they didn't even try to make it look good they got bored and gave up idk man
