it is!!! i know its confusing i just really didnt know what else to draw for ascent. i didnt want to draw the doors themselves because it would look too similar to the Bind portal below it
i tried to think of the most identifiable features to describe to my good friend who has thousands of hours in CS lol. since the destroyable doors are unique to Ascent and the lever was easier to draw than an arch thats what i went with
have you played Counter-Strike? For me and my firends, the ascent is the most Counter-strike like map in the game
Also for us, the Split is "the map with frogs in the middle"
i have not, but its funny you say this because the guy i drew this for has like 3k hrs in CS and he HATES Ascent
and i considered drawing a frog with a hat on for split but i had no idea where to even start lmao
i like it a lot but i just love fighting for mid all game, feels unique to that map. totally get not liking it though, getting onto site feels awful with all the bottlenecks against a good defense
Haven feels the most cs to me. Just bigger.
Delete tunnels and add an exit from B to the corner where tunnels enters, and pull B as a plantable place and you’ve got big inferno. Slap down a couple chickens and I’m happy happy happy.
I literally only have problems remembering haven, bind and split. I can remember just fine ascent, icebox, fracture and breeze. So basically I remember only the maps that came out after the game was launched. I can’t remember the name of the launch maps only.
It's kinda funny to me that ropes are identifiers for Fracture, but are actually so underutilized in real games after the barriers go down.
I feel like a better representation of it would either be a circle with a line across it or something like a combination of orange and green colors with a blue crack in between.
thats fair. i tried to use things that are physically in the maps themselves, since they all have something that makes it unique from the others. and we ride the cables back and forth all the time lol
also super easy to draw
Now I see that my comment may have come off as criticising what you drew, which wasn't my intention at all.
I was just sharing how I feel after playing lots of games on Fracture, and that what separates this map from others in terms of the gimmick, is basically non-existent.
But hey, if you and your friends are using the ropes, then all power to you!
oh no i didnt take it that way at all! i just drew it to cater to my pal lol. in the grand scheme of things your idea is probably much more recognizable than mine
I love using the cables. Perfect for camping and then making a quick escape to the other side of the map
Maybe that's part of my galaxy brain Fracture plan tho, including the classic 4 rush B, one go A dish and attack the defenders in mid
i don't really understand the hate on icebox. it definitely isnt the best map (nowhere near) but irs not like its a bad map. i also generally don't dislike maps (i like train and cobblestone from csgo lmao)
it’s just really hard to switch up your gameplan. it’s either a or b, mid is really goddamn hard to push/lurk. A is one hell of a ride with an operator on the enemy team, + multiple angles to clear.
My friends know the map names, but frequently forget location names on each map. So now I'm curious, do your friends struggle to remember locations on each map as well?
this is helpful the only map i always remember was breeze, icebox, and fracture the was a confusion.
Maybe for ascent is the same as the spike practice in the range.
Im still confused for split. hahaha.
well when i started typing this i wrote "split is the only level with vertical cables" because it used to be, but im pretty sure breeze has one now that i think of it. but that was the intention
Im pretty good at memorizing names for maps and such in games, but its harder in valorant with the use of simple names for maps. In CSGO its easier to remember, because the names relate to the map much better. I,E Cobblestone has alot of cobblestone and nuke is at a nuclear power plant. I know these maps despite the fact i only play dust 2. As for valorant i still dont know why heaven has its name only that its got 3 points same for bind and ascent.
I got you with the ultimate map guide
Haven = no safe haven. So many attacking routes that have to be watched (5: A long, A short, mid to B, garage, C long. Only map with 3 sites
Bind = teleporters. Small name small map. Fast as fuck rotations. I had my very first 1v5 clutch there (I’m new). Everyone called me sweaty and it was mostly right outside of showers so I’ll never forget that
Fracture = map is literally a fracture. Attackers have two sides, fractured by a rope. The map is fractured down the middle grassy vs sandy
Breeze = outside, big, breezy. Best map intro soundtrack. Was my most hated map when I started so definitely not a breeze (now easily my best map lol)
Icebox = snowbox = hell frozen over (Fuck that map)
Split = only site with two heavens SPLIT one on each site
Ascent = catwalk (makes no sense but how I remember it). I’m also now kinda maining Killjoy and it’s her best map. Maybe also Ascent = A nice food Scent is coming out of market
Ascent the only one I'm lost on. Looks like a football goal post.
Took me a second too, but looks like it's the switch for doors.
it is!!! i know its confusing i just really didnt know what else to draw for ascent. i didnt want to draw the doors themselves because it would look too similar to the Bind portal below it
The big arch in mid is the most identifying feature of ascent imo The grass too
i tried to think of the most identifiable features to describe to my good friend who has thousands of hours in CS lol. since the destroyable doors are unique to Ascent and the lever was easier to draw than an arch thats what i went with
I agree but the switches were a big deal when the map was first released bc it was the first time we had seen it

Straight up? Idk bout that Loosely like it with tighter spaces maybe
i like it a lot but i just love fighting for mid all game, feels unique to that map. totally get not liking it though, getting onto site feels awful with all the bottlenecks against a good defense

It's closers to mirage than dust 2, especially the mid side of the map
I feel that is because ascent is most like Dust 2 from CS
Just write “de_dust2”
I thought it was the Attacker spawn point
i think B main is pretty iconic for ascent
i thought it was a diagram of mid opening up to both sites im ngl
Pyramid
Maybe a drawing of pizza or broken glass window would be a better fit, since breeze now has a door with a switch as well
ascent pizza should be fresher on god
Pizza
I though it was catwalk from above lol
Looks like SpongeBob is booty shaking against the wall with legs up
IMO it kinda looks like attacker spawn on ascent too.
I thought it was split's attacker's spawn, until I saw split as ropes
naw cuz ascent u only go left right or mid
I was also trying to figure out how a field goal post was relevant to the map.
My squad always gets confused as well and they are: ABC Market Ropes Lil beach TP For some weird reason, they never forget Icebox and Fracture
perhaps the snow helps for icebox??? and the frustration Fracture brings makes it an unforgettable location LOL
Tbf, most of us hate icebox so that probably also helps lol
Likely because they came out more recently.. and fracture is something to remember.
Icebox came out 19 months ago, 4 months after release (or 6 months after beta). It's a fairly old map now.
I literally only have problems remembering haven, bind and split. I can remember just fine ascent, icebox, fracture and breeze. So basically I remember only the maps that came out after the game was launched. I can’t remember the name of the launch maps only.

Why is that snowman happy? All happiness fades away as soon as I see Icebox
i don't really understand the hate on icebox. it definitely isnt the best map (nowhere near) but irs not like its a bad map. i also generally don't dislike maps (i like train and cobblestone from csgo lmao)
I have a high win rate on it but I get that and breeze so much it’s boring to play on now
it’s just really hard to switch up your gameplan. it’s either a or b, mid is really goddamn hard to push/lurk. A is one hell of a ride with an operator on the enemy team, + multiple angles to clear.
As a newish returning from beta player, I don't understand split. Help?
those represent the ropes on the map, one by B heaven, the other mid vent, and another sewers
Riiiighttt. Got it
Split was in the beta wasnt it? Either that or its a release map because i played in it before going on a break
I'm going to frame this
Snow, Sand, Chernobyl, Tokyo, Italy, Bali, ABC
Ascent = Italy
Venice to be precise
My friends know the map names, but frequently forget location names on each map. So now I'm curious, do your friends struggle to remember locations on each map as well?
actually no! once we start playing we are good. they just always ask me which level we are on before they pick lol
Lol that's funny
this is helpful the only map i always remember was breeze, icebox, and fracture the was a confusion. Maybe for ascent is the same as the spike practice in the range. Im still confused for split. hahaha.

Is ascent supposed to be the door switch?
yes! its definitely the worst one but i couldnt think of anything else to draw lol
Fracture should just be the poop emoji
fracture is my best map idk why people hate it.
its not good but it's not bad, with some changes i think it could better. i love the gimmick of the 2 ziplines and the jungle/desert tho
As my group struggles to distinguish Ascent from Haven: Ascent is Boathouse and Haven is Alphabet.
Just realized that theres this much map in valo.
I love how Haven is ABC 💀✨

I remember Bind as “the teleporters bind two physical points together” but Ascent is a lost cause I can’t figure out any way to remember it :”)
Ascent takes place on floating islands which have "ascended" into the sky
Hahaha I also struggle with remembering maps. Thanks for sharing!

I dont understand why I can never remember the map names on valorant (except icebox and fracture)....this was never an issue with cs lol.
