A Drop

The popular A Drop has been extended and a new cubby has been added to encourage unique playstyles. Attackers will no longer need to check both sides at the same time while entering the site.

A Rope

This chokepoint was very easy to smoke and hence, couldn't serve as a viable option for defenders to stop an aggressive push. The new changes will give defenders the freedom to adopt new strategies while retakes or stopping a push.

Riot Games is known to consider community suggestions diligently when it comes to Valorant. The popular free-to-play tactical FPS title can quickly fall short of intrigue in the absence of new content. Hence, the developers keep deploying content updates and patches to add new features and improve on what's already there.

The upcoming Fracture rework will definitely freshen things up for the Valorant community and promote balanced playstyles.
