Although it has just recently gone through a significant makeover by developers, VALORANT<\/em> players have banded together to explain why Icebox is still one of the worst maps in the game.<\/p>
The snowy map has been out since 2020, was the fifth map released, and was even recently reworked <\/a>by Riot Games before being added back into the competitive map pool for both solo queue and pro play. On the VALORANT<\/em> subreddit<\/a>, however, enthusiasts were quick to complain about the map’s multiple pitfalls, including its lackluster design.<\/p>

“Lots of awkward places to clear and way too many angles,” one player said<\/a>. “You can peak [sic] into site and get shot from eight different places. The sites are both annoying to push and hold… The best way to play icebox is with a blindfold because your already going to die from a place you cant see.”<\/p>
Icebox isn’t the only problem players have with this current rotation of maps, though. In general, players are clamoring for more variety in their games, especially after running into the same map over and over again. Swiftplay enthusiasts have also run into burnout<\/a> far quicker than before since they have been subjected to the same competitive map pool as ranked.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
