Split Map Update Details
♦ The attacking team's mobility in the area has been facilitated. For the defending part, the defense became difficult because there was a lot of open space in the region. Thanks to the box that is parallel to the door in the area, it gives the attacking team a significant advantage in area dominance and the use of their abilities. A litter beam has also been added between zone B changes. In this way, the place where the defender can hide is limited.
♦ The Spike area placed in the area has been expanded. This will allow the attacking side to defend the placed area from the B Main entrance after Spike is placed.
♦ Thanks to the boxes added to the corner, the field is a good hiding place. In this way, it will be necessary to be more careful when entering the area. This change removes the tactical advantage of the players, forcing them to a new tactic or road impression.
♦ By reducing the depth of some areas, safe movement was provided. Likewise, the entrance to the area was made safer thanks to the removed entrance after the regional change was made. In addition, the entrance section of the ventilation room in the region has been made wider.
♦ This was avoided by including a leaning wall in the room to restrict the use of new tactical corners placed on the map. Thanks to the sloping wall, it will be possible to protect from attacks from the middle area and from bullets passing behind the wall.
♦ As a result of the clashes in the narrow area, the area called "ramen" was given a simple look. Thus, the plain and wide map provided a relief. Extra safety considerations were included in the room located in the sewer area. In this way, it has become safer to move around in this region.
♦ The entrance of the area called A Tower has been widened. In this way, it was planned that the defending side would be inadequate in terms of security. Thanks to the change, the capture of the ramp area is more important.
Valorant Players Discussing Split Map Changes
A post shared on one of the Valorant community pages praises the changes made to Split and calls for similar improvements to other maps. The community, which started to discuss Bind, Icebox, Haven and Ascent balancing suggestions, are meeting on the community pages to create a better map pool. You can see the thoughts about the two important maps below.- Bind: Wider B-zone, rear passes and links, easier capture.
- Icebox: This zone feels a bit small and quite claustrophobic, and sometimes it doesn't feel like a real bomb zone. The areas called kitchen, hall, orange, snow pile, tube of zone B are narrow, but there are many angles.
Valorant players are excited to see the game get better in terms of balance and are vocal about what they want to see next. It's unclear how many of these changes will be incorporated into Valorant by Riot Games , or even if they're competitively viable. But Riot Games seems to be on the right track with the Valorant community.
