I use to defend icebox till my last breath. Used to think it was valorant’s best map, it has the potential, but it’s just in a horrible state rn.

Icebox just has way too many angles. Let’s take mid for example. First you have to watch tube for any pushes there, then you also have to watch under tube. Oh wait, we can’t forget about someone possibly pushing mid ramp as well.

A aswell. That middle pipe before site really screws over A site in my opinion. And B site, that long hallway before getting to yellow, the possibilities are endless for camping one corner, or holding another angle. Then don’t even get me started planting default, because that is just a spam fest.

Then you have defense. Let’s say your holding top of tube on B. Your watching the B main push, but little did you know, someone pushed under kitchen. With you being fully exposed.

This map just has way too many angles to hold, on offense and defense. And it is just way too easy to flank. It doesn’t matter if you have a cypher, or if you ESPECIALLY have a killjoy. It just doesn’t have that valorant map feel. There’s no meta for the map, everything is random. There’s a reason icebox is the most dodged map in the game. I just get that look of disgust each time I see it pop up when I find a match.
