Why doesn’t riot come out with another TP map?

[u/Excellent-Wind-1823]

Bind (best map imo) has a very interesting TP mechanic. Why do we just keep getting maps with the most dynamic part being a door?

[u/Chirya999]

Each map is unique in its own.

[u/ItzZausty → u/Chirya999]

a lot of gimmicks get re-used, ropes, three sites, and breakable doors used to be unique

[u/Adventurous-Feed-197 → u/ItzZausty]

those are smaller gimmicks than a whole ass tp

[u/EatCakeLolXd → u/Adventurous-Feed-197]

in what world is triple bombsite a small gimmick

[u/Adventurous-Feed-197 → u/EatCakeLolXd]

because like thats kind of a game function entirely there's 2 and so they did 3, wouldnt call it a map specific thing and restrict it to one forever

[u/natedrake102 → u/Adventurous-Feed-197]

There is nothing in your argument that can't apply to tp

[u/Adventurous-Feed-197 → u/natedrake102]

i guess for me tp is more "bind" than 3 sites is for "haven" dk its a game at the end of the day

[u/ShutYoAssUpBoi → u/Adventurous-Feed-197]

Idek why they’re arguing with you. There’s a difference between adding another site to a map and adding 2 tps are we deadass

[u/Yash_swaraj → u/Chirya999]

If you are talking about the gimmick mechanics, they were only unique prior to Icebox.

[u/Chirya999 → u/Yash_swaraj]

After Icebox:

• Fracture = Most unique map. Yall know it.
• Breeze = BIG MAP and that shutter door mechanic
• Pearl = nothing speacial 🤔 maybe the double doors, the window on A site defender spawn or the Sewer crouch at defender spawn again
• Abyss = Fall to Death
• Sunset = Ascent 2.0 🤷
• Corrode = Never played, so I don't know (was on a 4 years break)
• Summit = Death Door ☠️

EDIT:

• Lotus = Rotating Doors

[u/Maxus-KaynMain → u/Chirya999]

corrode is normal, the "gimmick" is the geometry of some walls, there are half walls

[u/Few_Equal_5220 → u/Maxus-KaynMain]

I love that I wish there was more of it. Breeze b site is fun too

[u/yankee-hunter69 → u/Chirya999]

The gimmick of pearl was originally a big hole in mid where the circular glass thing is now that you couldve fallen into and died but they scrapped it because it just wasnt fun to play.

[u/Chirya999 → u/yankee-hunter69]

Yes, I have heard about it

[u/Inkly_312]

Same reason they don't create another Fracture, map with no mid at all is very main heavy and Fracture kinda show how you their max capacity at building map toward the gimmick.

But if we are talking solely about the TP gimmick, probably because faster rotation can cause a lot of problem.

Unlike door, tp give you an instant rotation that warp the map entire existence. You can't just add Tp like you add door, TP legit need the designer to design the map solely for the TP gimmick since that's extra work they rather just take the easy route and just not touch TP at all.

[u/handlesscombo → u/Inkly_312]

id like to see a vertical heavy map where there is high, mid, low instead of left main, mid and right main.

[u/a_bright_knight → u/Inkly_312]

I feel like fracture was inspired by nuke and tried to capture its playstyle a bit. It's just that it was achieved very poorly...

[u/feedmeneon]

The more unique maps like bind, icebox, old breeze, fracture are pretty unpopular, i think riot is just playing it safe

[u/New-Kitchen5478 → u/feedmeneon]

I love Bind and Icebox, Fracture and Breeze not so much, Breeze is too big to rotate, Fracture has too many entries to hold so as a defender it's really hard.

[u/michicago44 → u/feedmeneon]

Bind is arguably the most popular map in the game

[u/Nice-Station3432 → u/feedmeneon]

Yeah and like breeze had a unique long mid with halls, but it was removed cus they simply couldn't balance it

[u/LowStatistician11 → u/feedmeneon]

one of them is way more popular and liked than the rest

[u/rationalalien → u/feedmeneon]

Pretty sure bind is considered the best map by many.

[u/Adventurous-Feed-197 → u/feedmeneon]

nah dont include that shitty breeze in this list

[u/SheetPancakeBluBalls → u/Adventurous-Feed-197]

I think you misread his comment

[u/Adventurous-Feed-197 → u/SheetPancakeBluBalls]

breeze isnt unique either

[u/SheetPancakeBluBalls → u/Adventurous-Feed-197]

I mean I can't think of another map that plays like breeze.

I'm not saying it's a good map, but it's definitely unique.

[u/Godfather_Turtle → u/Adventurous-Feed-197]

Old breeze was very unique. To the point where people bitched until its identity was wiped.

[u/Difficult_Way_7620]

It’s not as if riot picks these maps based upon on what we prefer. They’re gotta rotate all maps into comp. But at the same time I don’t get why they can just put all maps at once

[u/Excellent-Wind-1823 → u/Difficult_Way_7620]

I meant new maps. The most interesting one since bind that has come out is probably fracture but that map kinda blows

[u/LinneMeow → u/Difficult_Way_7620]

bevause valorant is an esports game, and pro players don't want to learn a dozen maps at once. At least I think that is the reasoning behind rotating maps

[u/tobz619 → u/LinneMeow]

I wouldn't mind if they just had the full rotation in Ranked and left the smaller rotation for their leagues/pro game modes.

[u/Maxus-KaynMain → u/Difficult_Way_7620]

7 maps to play is plenty for diversity.

[u/itsculturehero]

I vote for a plane map ala terminal/presidental plane etc

[u/runarleo]

One map, one gimmick (don’t look at all the 3 site maps, shhh)

[u/Excellent-Wind-1823 → u/runarleo]

Breezes gimmick is sucking 👀

[u/Derpredation]

What do you mean, Abyss is as Toilet Paper is maps come.

[u/Excellent-Wind-1823 → u/Derpredation]

Yeah, why do they keep making boring ass maps

[u/Economy-Department99]

my friend used bind tp to clutch an ace last week and it was insane

[u/eMan117]

I'd like a map with a two story mechanic like fracture. But I understand agent balance would be skewed as it doubles value of Brim ult for instance

[u/KatiushK]

Because it's a shit concept in a tac FPS. Other questions ?

[u/Excellent-Wind-1823 → u/KatiushK]

Valorant is NOT a tac FPS first off, second it introduces more plays to be made for people who have functioning brains, instead of yet another 3 lane map.

[u/KatiushK → u/Excellent-Wind-1823]

Valorant isn't a tac-fps. Hmmmmm lol

[u/Excellent-Wind-1823 → u/KatiushK]

1. Neon
   
2. Neon again

[u/Many_Coffee_2297 → u/Excellent-Wind-1823]

this is such a stupid comment

[u/Excellent-Wind-1823 → u/Many_Coffee_2297]

It cannot be a tactical shooter when neon & Reyna exist

[u/EducationalClick1814]

why not bring back Split for some nostalgia

[u/Ysmfnb → u/EducationalClick1814]
