Why I think Fracture is a good map

Map is fun, lots of gimmicks, 4 ult orbs around it, ropes so you can rotate faster, makes players come up with new strategies, you can play any agent on Fracture, and the map itself forces you to think before you play, a thing Valorant players don't usually do. I don't see any good anti-Fracture argument except for "optimization issues 🥺". Retaking isn't impossible if you don't waste your utility for no reason before the spike is planted. I think people hate Fracture because it's "hard" (meaning "requires thinking") and they want every map to be easy instead of having maps where you have to actually come up with new strategies.

TLDR: good map but you have to think before you play

it's a great map, just awful in ranked because it requires coordination and a more important sense of macro decision making

that's exactly what I'm talking about. I remember when Fracture was in the rotation, I would IGL every game and we'd usually win. It forces people to think and communicate and that's bad for "press W and click mouse" players

It's like you said, no one knows how to play this map which makes it unplayable

exactly

but this wouldn't be a problem if people actually tried to learn the map... most people would rather complain about how "bad" it is tho

It'd go further that learning the map, people would have to learn how to play the game and that's an impossible ask.

that's true too, and unfortunately Riot wants to just make the game easier instead of making players learn how to play the game

all because they want new players to keep coming in

and that's why no one gives af about ranked anymore, feels like everyone just expects everything to go their way, making no effort to actually win or turn the game in their favor, and when it doesn't, they just give up

I love lurking and taking timings on this map. Fun fact: when I was new it used to take forever to do that sand jump

that's one of the many things you can do on Fracture

as an example of how little effort people put into this map, I can still get a trillion kills staying on the left corner of Tower (B site) because people still don't check it after 4 years and just run inside Tower without clearing that corner

True but the thing is my team just goes a main every round so if i do the "correct" play and go somewhere else like kitchen i get bitched at for lurking on a controller

I hate maps that require thinking in ranked because you literally cannot get a mid ranked team to understand any strategy beyond go A or go B or go mid or go split

I dont play valo anymore but I remember having a lot of trouble with the angles/peeks of this map, feel like I was always on a disavantage regardless of playing attack or defense
Also kinda hard figuring out what I'm supposed to do
