We need more simple map like Ascent 2 bomb sites 1mid, every map in val has been crazy and unique lately (suffered to play)
I feel like people on vlr don't think about the massive swath of val players who solely queue unrated and spike rush - a simple map mirror or reskin (snowy holiday ascent/haven, nighttime sunset/lotus) would have way bigger impact for growing/retaining playerbase and interest compared to just small map revisions
We need less maps like Ascent (very stale meta, one clear uniform way of playing the map that dominates at the highest level, also everything is wallbangable for whatever reason and the choke points are also tiny)
BUT
We need more maps designed with Ascent in mind (no agent is bad on this map, the sites have a ton of places to play on, and for the majority of the map spamming isn't the best way to go about things)
Hot take but maps with more agent viability makes for more interesting gameplay and entertainment. Regions get to differentiate and define their own styles and players can constantly innovate with new compositions.
Even during the Chamber era, Jett was the best agent on Ascent because the map was solved. Less stale maps please.
