    I made a fan art about my first impressions on the new map BREEZE--

    Ah, yes. Very nice. The summer wind, warm sun, waves crashing on the shore, a 7.62 bullet on the back of me head. Very nice.

    Posted: 04 May 2021 05:19 AM PDT

    Everybody hates icebox- right? Everyone talks about best maps, but I want to try and figure out the worst map in Valorant. Let's let the community decide the worst map!

    Community Map Poll Analysis

    Posted: 04 May 2021 09:09 AM PDT

    Intro

    A few days ago I ran a poll here on reddit as well as in AverageJonas's discord asking people to rate the current maps from favorite to least favorite. I received 92 submissions, and while I was hoping for more, that should be enough to get an idea of how the community feels about the maps. If you haven't voted yet, please fill out the form which you can find here https://forms.gle/55DpV5nuUE6bMxb6A. If I get significantly more responses I will post an updated analysis at some point!

    Analysis

    All of the graphs that I will be referring to in this analysis can be found linked at the bottom of this post.

    Favorite Map

    The communities favorite map was a close race between Ascent and Bind, with Ascent winning at 28% of the vote and Bind picking up 24%. Breeze and Split were neck and neck fighting for 3rd and 4th place, with Haven and Icebox falling dead last.

    Least Favorite Map

    The community was pretty clear on this one, with Icebox picking up a whopping 42% of the votes for least favorite. Breeze comes in second with 19%, followed closely by Split and Haven at 14% and 12% respectively.

    Overall

    To compare the maps overall, I did a weighted average of each maps total votes, granting one point for a favorite map vote, 2 points for second favorite, etc. This gives a sort of "average vote" for each map, and allows us to see how the average voter voted. This graph can be found labeled as "Map Average Vote" and is a bar graph where lower is better. A value of 1 would mean all 92 people chose it as their favorite, and a value of 6 meaning all 92 people chose it as the least favorite. When looking at this graph is is pretty clear that Ascent and Bind are the communities two favorite maps, while Icebox is in a league of its own when it comes to "least favorite". Somewhat surprisingly to me, Haven, Split, and Breeze were all very close, with the community being split on how they ranked the three.

    Additional Observations

    • Interestingly, Breeze received very similar percentages of the vote for each position, indicating the community is very torn on how they feel about the map. Perhaps this will change once the map hits ranked?

    • While Haven received very few 1st place or 6th place votes, it received many 2nd, 3rd, and 5th, showing that its not the favorite nor the least favorite, but somewhere in between.

    • Ascent, perhaps the most "CS like" map currently in the game, did by far the best, receiving lots of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place votes, while receiving very little votes in the bottom half of the poll. Of note, Ascent received only 5% of the least favorite votes, the lowest percentage for any map in any position.

    • Icebox, perhaps the map that deviates most from the typical "CS formula", did horrendously, a nearly a full point above Split in 5th place in the overall rankings. Its score of 4.6 means that on average people rated it between 4th and 5th in their ratings.

    Conclusion

    This poll had a mixture of expected results and surprises. I expected Ascent, Bind, and Haven to perform well, however I was surprised at the level of indecisiveness the community had about Breeze. Perhaps it is due to the newness of the map, and I am interested to see if this changes after it hits ranked play. Icebox surprised me a bit by just how badly it lost, netting nearly half of the least favorite votes. I think it is clear that Riot has some work to do to improve Icebox.

    Overall, CS-style maps appear to be more in favor in the community, while maps that deviate from the CS formula, such as Icebox or Split, did poorly. The reason for this is not clear, and I would love to see a poll of the community on CS experience, as this would help draw some conclusions about this favoritism. It could also simply be that maps that lean more towards a CS-style are just better.

    If you haven't voted in the poll linked above, please do. While 92 votes are enough to begin to see trends in the community, it is hardly representative and ideally I would like to see 200-300. I plan on running another poll after Breeze enters ranked to see if the community opinion changes.

    Huge win and loss streaks - never consistent.

    Posted: 04 May 2021 06:33 AM PDT

    Since sometime in last act.. all that happens to me now is huge win streaks followed by huge loss streaks. I'm talking about my game history being all green, then thinking I'm going well... then suddenly I just end up with really bad players in every game I play.. the games aren't even close, and my game history is all red.

    What I've realised is that on the win streaks, I have strong and capable team mates, good comms, and we stomp, with my influence on the game being either low, or mid range.

    But on the Losing streaks, I end up with the worst imaginable teams. Talking about people that throw, AFK's from first few rounds, Jett and Phoenix Players who are somehow Gold 3 but go 8.20, and me as a Silver Sova top fragging on 10 kills. Literally nobody on my team (including myself) getting over 15 kills. Instant HS everywhere I go. The only way I can actually get kills is resorting to dirty tactics like hiding in corners in obscure locations and picking off a few that try to rush out.

    Surely this isn't a co incidence? Is it something to do with the matchmaking and the way it works? So they match me with good team mates for a while to make me happy, and then throw me in with a bunch of useless people for some reason? And I'm not blaming my team mates on their skill level... ending up with bad players is just one small factor.. as I said those losing streaks, I get all the AFKers and throwers in that run of games, and the opposition team has one of those 30.10 smurfs going off every time. So the entire teams that I'm on are just awful teams to play with for multiple reasons.

    The balance of matchmaking in this game is horrible. I just don't know how my own game play can have any influence over the games I play. I either don't have to do anything because my team mates run around killing everyone before I get there, or my team mates all die in 3 seconds and I'm the last person left still rotating from the other site, running into 5 enemies all waiting for me in CT.

    Never got tilted this much !!!

    Posted: 04 May 2021 07:27 AM PDT

    It's mid game, I'm clutching 1v3. Normal reaction would be: "wp", "gj", etc. But no, my "teammate" Raze is getting obnoxiously mad about me not picking up his operator, which he couldn't even locate... and after that he completely threw the game and sabotaged me and the whole team (including many many insults). And today was already a bad day, I normally don't get tilted on something like that. The problem is the lack of self-awarness: Why do people think that they are always right? And why are they allowed to continue playing this game in such manner. The ban-system has to be more strict. So devastating to see people behaving like inhuman creature and getting away with it...
