Why does Riot keep releasing bad maps?

They put a box or pillar on sites and call it a day. Sites on half the maps are impossible to anchor and you often have to play retakes. Even though I dont enjoy playing cs anymore, the sites are designed a lot more fun (except for Vertigo fuck that map). Then they have shitty maps that attackers have dozens of options to lurk and it is impossible to defend every possible coridor

Bind - I actually like this map because it has its own niche in having to take some space before hitting the sites, and the sites are interesting enough that you have a lot of options as a defender to play around, especially on A
Split - ok this map is actually fun
Fracture - its a weird map but I like its niche of having to take space as defenders. But I understand that its not for everyone since people dont know how to play it in asc and below
Haven - Even though its a cool map, B and C sites could use improvements, especially the stupid huge generator in the middle of the site

Pearl - B long is a joke lmao, no words needed
Sunset - This map is pretty much a retake simulator. There's a stupid pillar in B site that is impossible to play around, and A site is so hard to defend when you lose either main or elbow control. And you dont get enough value as a defender when you take mid control
Lotus - There is literally not a single thing to play around on B site and you always will play retake, and C site is impossible to hold without KJ And Viper both mollying. A site is mid
Ascent - Definitely has interesting sites, and mid control provides a lot of opportunities for both sides, but the map overall is boring now because its always the same comp with double init, maybe with cypher instead of kj sometimes
Breeze - Dogshit map with stupid long range 50/50s. The only good change was the removal of halls but they reverted it lmao. Riot should accept that this map was L and never add it back to competitive play again (like what valve did with Cobblestone aka rush b simulator)
Icebox - Impossible to hold sites and you just play to delay and then retake (I personally like this map as a viper lurk enjoyer but the map is designed dogshit and hell to play without a KJ)

"map is boring because always same comp"
I feel like the root cause is the agents and the meta, not the maps
they're not all objectively bad

it is still up to riot to balance the power of agents
