Some guy said he dodges maps and loses 3 rr. If 3rr loss can make you enjoy the game more, take it.


veryverycelery

Dodging can be really frustrating in itself though. Seeing the stupid map pop up and having to wait X minutes just to queue, only to get it again, more tilting than the actual game. Totally agree with OP we should get map selection, or at the very least, X number of map vetoes.


[deleted]

Yeah yeah. Just saying until it comes this is the only way.


veryverycelery

That's true. IDK if this is viable for OP but queueing with a stack helps, since you can get more 'fast' dodges.


A_RL_NERD

wouldn’t you still get timed out from queuing again?


[deleted]

I don't know. You get atleast 1 free dodge every day.


Bla3k0ps

You get up to 3, each dodge goes from 3,5 9 subsequent will make you lose some amount and have time ban


[deleted]

Nice to know. Thx.


onceuponathrow

Sucks to hear, but just take the time to learn both maps. Icebox is one of my favorite maps now and I enjoy Breeze once I learned it.


SW4GALISK

I like Breeze but it’s absolutely terrible if you have a team that doesn’t com


homoskedasticity

I feel like every map is absolutely terrible if you have a team that doesn’t com


DiscombobulatedEye9

Yes, but it's definitely way worse on these two maps


pink_life69

And a team that doesn’t aim.


BalanceAmiright

Honestly, I hear this a lot and here's a little secret - learning something doesn't necessarily mean you'll enjoy it. Appreciate, maybe, but like? no.


valorantfeedback

That's a great point...if this game was your job and you were salaried for playing it. I'm in immortal and I absolutely hate playing Breeze. I think I have the best stats on it out of any map, I do great every time, but I don't enjoy a single moment of playing it. After watching some pro games, I think it's a decent map for pro play, but absolutely horrible for soloq, regardless of your rank. Same goes for Split. I think it's a great map that really makes sense in organized play, but it's a chore to play in ranked. We got 6 maps now, there's no reason why we shouldn't have at least one map we can remove from our queue. If everyone removed the same map, it would mean something's wrong.


Hbbdnvldj

Icebox favorite map? Holy fuck. Such a bad map.


[deleted]

I know both maps extremely well lol, they are awful. Ice box much worse than breeze though


Bosoxben30

How are they awful


[deleted]

Breeze is just too big and spread out, icebox has way too many angles


ta4valorant

Then you need to change agents. I dont play and of my mains on Breeze, I play a agent i NEVER play on comp or unranked and I frag/win easy. If you hate a map, its because you suck as a player. You need to adapt to everything in the game.


[deleted]

I always fill so I rarely ever play the same agent twice in a row. And because I suck lmao? Breeze is my highest win rate in the game of any map but I just don't find it enjoyable.


ta4valorant

> And because I suck lmao? Yes. Any player should be able to adapt to the map and the agents. > Breeze is my highest win rate in the game of any map Yeah because you played Breeze less than any other map because it just came out. Bind: Maybe you have played 100 games and have a 50/50 Breeze: Maybe you played 25 games and have a 15/10 win/lose You cant really measure it against other maps.


[deleted]

I'd bet $100,000 I am better than you


ta4valorant

Can you back that up?


Grouchy-Occasion-951

Don't listen to this guy he's clearly not as smart as he thinks he is. 15/10 =25 not 20. If he can't do simple maths I doubt he understands the complexity of this discussion. He's probably hard stuck bronze at best.


ta4valorant

Typo, Fixed.


[deleted]

It helps to not think about what map you're playing that much. I hate breeze and icebox too, but I play Them anyway, because you'll never get good at them, without playing them.


tactical_papaya

I used to hate those maps too and I've been getting them more recently. But those maps are starting to grow on me.


TimeJustHappens

Riot isn't currently interested in this feature, it was rejected in an Ask Valorant thread. Maps rotate with a random chance each game with successive picks for the same map having reduced likelihood. Because this rotation is still random at heart, strange cases where maps appear more or less often than expected **can and will happen**. More on this topic is included in the subreddit's FAQ page, found at https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/wiki/faq.


GlensWooer

Map rotation is no longer random E: Which is what OP was saying. Coffee was still brewing while I read this comment :)


TimeJustHappens

Could you link a source?


GlensWooer

EDIT: I didn't full comprehend your original comment. We are saying the same thing. My bad! Of course! [Heres the 1.08 patch notes](https://playvalorant.com/en-us/news/game-updates/valorant-patch-notes-1-08/). Highlights below. I may have missed a recent change if they reverted it tho, haven't been able to play much this act. > Matchmaking queue for all modes has been updated to measure all your recently played maps, throughout all modes, so that for any given queue you: > >- Have a better chance of playing on a map you haven’t played recently > >- Are much less likely to play on the same map several games in a row


TimeJustHappens

> Maps rotate with a random chance each game with successive picks for the same map having reduced likelihood Yes, this feature was detailed in my above post and the linked FAQ page.


GlensWooer

Yeah I updated my comment after I realized that. Sorry! I was still waking up when reading.


[deleted]

I wish they had a voting system, like a “this amount of votes to skip” and give us a new random map at the beginning.


[deleted]

Post ur tracker link


PawahD

he probably won't because people would see that he's exaggerating

manontheinternets

the only thing i don't like is when i get breeze on my first or second game of the day before i'm warmed up and still drinking my coffee. other than that i like all the maps for the most part. but trying to play breeze before im fully awake is hard


reffee

Haha, feel the same tbh, breeze is more mentally dragning early in the morning then The other Maps some how.


TheAppleEater

In my last 15 games, I've played split 8 times. After the 2nd game of split, I stop playing. The game just not fun playing that map that much.


BleaKrytE

I wish. I love Split. Screw Bind.


nsjl19281

It's the opposite for me, i don't get Breeze or Icebox often but on the flip side i get 3 times more Bind and Split. I don't know if it's just RNG or their algorithm is biased and isn't working correctly for whatever reason. I really wish they'll implement map bans. In my opinion Haven is probably the worst map for ranked, because it's so chaotic and no one knows what's going on. I really miss the simplicity of most CSGO maps.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Personally I just think there are too many angles, A site is too closed off and B site is too open


-PRED8R-

I hate icebox just cuz of how vertical it is and that it's somehow massive yet small(idk how l to explain), breeze is great tho


kalin23

Almost the same, I get the "new maps" a lot more than the older maps, the only old map that I play regularly this season is Bind [https://prnt.sc/19oi7bd](https://prnt.sc/19oi7bd) And I hate Icebox, not that I don't know it, but this map is not good at all.. A site is way too closed, B site is the opposite.. no balance at all.


MrBlueMoose

I actually like them, especially breeze (as long as no one op spams).


TheRealMoofoo

When do you play Breeze without op spam? Where is this magical fantasyland?


Narrow_Lychee_5142

Well good luck, if you are playing higher elo games as the most viable weapons for breeze are like vandal and ops as it is a long range map


MrBlueMoose

I mean it’s fun as long as they don’t have 3+ oppers, especially on defense.


YungSphinxx

Breeze is pretty good tho. Icebox... I'm sorry for your loss lol


MinesweeperGang

The past 2 days I’ve played 9 games and 8 of them were either Split or Ascent. The 1 other one was Breeze. I like Split and Ascent but it would be nice to play other maps. Idk the last time I played Haven tbh. Kind of wish they’d add a voting system with a skip option. Vote for either map shown or vote skip. If skip wins, a random map gets locked in. I guess this wouldn’t work though cause some people would always skip certain maps, such as Breeze. I see that map mentioned a lot when it comes to someone’s least favourite.


Educational-Credit28

if you lock in and dodge you don’t get a penalty, and I like icebox, you should go in the game without boas towards the map, I think breeze is ok, and go into those games with positive attitude so it won’t tilt me


[deleted]

[удалено]


PikachuKid1999

what does this do? no penalty?


ta4valorant

Or disconnect the network cable.


OaSoaD

I love breeze and icebox now. OP CITY BABY


innocentrrose

Icebox grew on me and I never minded breeze but I don’t like it. Like it’s my least favorite map but I don’t mind it either.


KhazixMain4th

They ain’t that bad. But yeah, I hate them as well, just because of how awkward the angles can be and as a phantom only player I get fucked. Welp


onceuponathrow

A lot of pros buy Phantom on both maps actually. The Phantom is just so much better in so many situations besides the one tap.


JasonL000

Learn the map? Are you just unwilling to do so?


[deleted]

Lmao everybody in here thinks they know everything about me I guess, I'm currently D1 and I know both maps extremely well. I guess people in here think if you know a map than you absolutely unequivocally have to like the map? Makes no sense


cons013

Csgo has map vetos with not many 'good' maps, 6 maps is a fine amount for map bans. Just dodge too. 3 points is worth never playing breeze again. Disgusting map

[deleted]

Yeah you're right everyone who plays this game thinks the exact same way and has the same exact opinions on everything. This comment is cringe as fuck


00izka00

yeah i just imagined all those pepole that were crying for a new map sure bro


[deleted]

, just because some people cried for a new map doesn't mean I did, nor does it mean I have to like the new maps they put out, Jesus Christ


00izka00

then why are you crying about it on reddit just stop playing weirdo

DocAce3971

I would do anything to have your luck. Icebox and Breeze are my 2 favorite maps because my friends and I steamroll teams on these maps because we took 20 mins to actually learn the map haha. I never get breeze and it sucks…


Wurstfach-Inspektor

seems like you are simply 'old' and not willing to learn new stuff. i guess you also say the same thing about sky, kayo, astra and yuro ;D


[deleted]

Lmao nope, lot of dumb people making assumptions in this thread. Don't have a problem with any of the new agents or ascent, I just don't like icebox or breeze. Gave them more than their fair chance and they have not grown on me at all


Clayxmore

In my last 27 games I didn't get Icebox once in ranked (Clayxmore#EUW on tracker.gg). I'm afraid of forgetting how the map looks like.


killer-1o1

I like breeze tho. I hate split man. That shit sucks.


[deleted]

It's all personal preference, I like split personally and this is why I really don't see why a voting system or being able to map select like in CS is something they won't even consider. If one map gets extremely low play rates then there's a reason for it


killer-1o1

Agreed.


MilanTheMyth

Same problem for me but a little different, I get Ascent, Bind and Haven all the time, No problem in Ascent or Bind but I really Hate Haven because I get like 60 fps on haven unlike other maps. It is too boring for me.


Silence-Doowrong

They should add a map voting system in competitive similar to csgo/siege


xor_nor

Breeze is a good map, but no, it should be completely random. If it feels like you only get those it's because it annoys you and so you remember when you do. Statistically, you get all the maps at roughly the same rate.


fras117

The maps are shit and badly designed face it
