Hello! So I've been playing Valorant since a little before the release of Killjoy and so far the game has been very enjoyable and most of the content from Riot has been a well made. Up until now... I have some beef with the new map, Icebox. But instead of just complaining, I decided to take a crack at how I would change the map. I've come up with 4 possible map layout and I wanted some community feedback.

So for context on a few things:

- ! I'm doing this on my own and don't work for Riot and I'm not affiliated with them at all !

- I'm not ragging on the devs for making Icebox, they did fine I just thought it would be cool to make another rendition

- Everything you see is hand-drawn in GIMP

- Later I'm going to attempt fully render/3D model one of these layouts (or a similar version with the best aspects) for modeling practice

- I've labeled Points of Interest with letters and short description for clarity underneath

[1]: A small building with a zip connection to a closed-off, downward sloping hallway [2]: No more mid connector AND some boxes you can climb to peek the other side of mid (see through a gap, but can't walk through it) [3]: Imagine yellow box in B but the top cargo box is open and half destroyed, allowing peeking out [4]: A small ramp up to B site heaven

[1]: I thought since the map is zip themed, why not zips in both spawns for rotation? [2]: I think spawn for both sides should be lowered (prevent spawn peeking? maybe?) ALSO s o that the rotational zips can go over the tops of the spawn without being seen when walking out of spawn (aesthetics) [3]: When you take the zip, you can't go back. If you drop early, you land on low friction ice that you slide down [4]: I added a potential ramp up onto the box that exists in the current game

[1]: Lowered spawns again [2]: Lowered down, the zip should give you some height [3]: Another ramp (ramps are hard to show) [4]: Imagine the current left zip building shifted over with a ramp up into it [5]: A ramp leading down from to a landing down to a ramp to a landing XD

[1]: Lowered spawns again with the zips :) [2]: The same icy, sliding part again [3]: A zip across spawn to a small platformed area
