I was among the couple hundred YouTubers, streamers, and press to play in Fracture's preview, and here are my thoughts on the map. If you don't care enough to read all of this, feel free to check out my under 57-second video recap on my thoughts.
First of all, as you can imagine, the map is a little daunting when first playing. There's a lot of unexpected corners and spots where you wouldn't expect someone to be, especially on B site.
This will be surprising to some, but I believe Fracture is heavily defender-sided. Although it sounds difficult to defend two huge entrances to a site, it's actually extremely difficult for an attacker to coordinate a successful attack on a site. Even if the attackers do successfully make their way onto site, it's quite simple to quickly back your way up into defenders spawn or another angle and wait for your team.
For attackers, imo this map will be who can play the biggest mind game. It's very easy to rotate around this map for both attackers and defenders, so whoever can bait better should win the round. For defenders, expect a lot of baits.
As for agents: Reyna, Cypher, and Skye may be the best for this map, as their ultimate only cost 6 points, and with 4 orbs around the map, it's very simple for these agents to ult almost every other round. You may notice I missed out Phoenix here. This is because I genuinely didn't see him played at all. Imo he's extremely underwhelming right now, though his ultimate could be very useful for info.
Please note, your experience may be entirely different from mine, as this was a short preview with not a lot of players to distinguish an actual meta. Feel free to ask away with any questions you have about the map, and I'll try my best to answer :D
