Not only as from a balance perspective but also more enjoyable to play in. Less claustrophobic, less boxy right angle walls, less 50-50 angles, and more interesting cover positions. Overall it is simply more pleasing to play and a bit more dynamic on attacking, defending, and retaking.

I wish more changes like this are made on the other maps as well: overall wider gateways and hallways for key locations such as:

1.Bind = A Wider B Site Back Hall and its gateway, allowing for easier retakes.

2. Icebox = A Site, since its pretty claustrophobic and doesn't really feel like a bomb site when retaking sometimes. B Site's kitchen, tube, hall, orange, snow pile and hut all play unintuitively with their narrow yet numerous angles, and can be improved if orange and snowpile were merged into one area (so no pillar in between) and the extra space can be used to widen both tube and B hall and each of the doorways . Frankly this is like 2 out of at least 15 changes that need to be made on icebox, but I'm sure the Rito will figure out something.

3. Haven = A bit iffy to try to rework, because it has 3 sites as opposed to 2, which means smaller hallways are a necessary evil to compensate for the Attacker's advantage. Nevertheless, They can probably make the retake routes gateways wider so its more comfortable to play on, especially A site's CT and C Link.

4. Ascent = Make the respective doors wider? The problem with narrow doorways is simply the how much easier it is to shoot someone walking through a narrow doorway as opposed to a wide one and they are often used by attackers to help against retakes anyways. Mid pizza, mid bottom, and courtyard all have the potential to be more interesting instead of just "another angle to check". Maybe somehow merge them together and replace the walls with a more dynamic cover? I still have no idea what the circle in the middle of courtyard is supposed to be for.

These are a few of my thoughts, but, overall the maps are getting more fun to play, so thank you Rito,
