Its awesome, man! Keep up the great work!!!

[@3thanism]

One thing might be that A is very attack sided, so maybe removing A ramp and making the opening from heaven to A site more open might be better imo

[@themisterbean5379]

For bind, it would be funny if you added another teleport or two, then make them alternate what exit they teleport you to

[@bronchiel]

or have a lever/switch toggling a portal's destination, or the portal itself

These changes are fun, but I could not imagine having to retake these sites. Map changes are my favorite things to see in patch notes (partially because many of the maps feel unbalanced right now), so these kinds of videos are fascinating.

[@fromiizone]

Damn this map actually looks really fun to play. Excited for your next map rework!

[@bobbu3250]

I think the concepts for this map is pretty cool, just feels like if it where an actual map it'd be a little overwhelming considering all the angles and spots enemies could play in, but definitely cool

[@Kymarai]

Yep, agreed

[@lynnt2995]

Ngl, Archmeton makes the best, original and creative Valorant content even when the game is dry. Actually the most underrated Valorant KZbinr. You could even be a dev for Valorant lol

[@TechnicalTraitor]

The *absolutely* crispy voice over, cinematic shots, and the story telling angle make for some top tier content. In a space already saturated with all sorts of Valorant content, I love the creativity.

[@kimmanalastas6632]

I love when theres a lot of terrains or boxes in a map it gives u a variety of angles to play

[@PalestinianKeeper]

I love the alternative back alleys for the bomb sites, really feels like you can get creative with how you hold/enter site. Can't wait until you turn Fracture into nothing but ropes

[@crispedpotato]

I like this series so far the broll makes it really pleasing to watch. id like to see tacta bear make an appearence in one of the other episodes 😂

[@ArbiterX225]

I think there should be a Developer mode in the game just so that people can have fun.

[@strainj4197]

I tbh really liked your idea about new short,long,elbow,mid ! But I think the sewer was too much but aayy its fun when you fight with your opponents underwater with just a knife !!!!

[@rovlag]

And maybe all abilities are not working on it tho it's much more fun 😊

[@strainj4197]

@@rovlag yeah and it shd be near sighted but not like reyna's leer but u know light

[@Punn4sec]

Don't forget about the fact that each map has it own environment and story telling. It's look fun to play though, but if it connects to the story it would be so incredibly amazing. Still a solid work and fresh content Hope to see the other map soon.

[@BakedPotatoYT1]

This map design is actually cool, it makes the game more detailed and gives a CS:GO map vibe. One thing I didn't like about it is mid, for me it's still too small and short compared to the mid section of other maps (Icebox, Breeze, Ascent).

[@mythlessrwf]

Cool ideas for Breeze, transforming its long-range gunfight theme to more of a “environmental hazards” theme: - Try to make a waterfall that naturally drapes over the Cave entrance into A site (but you can still pass through it). The waterfall would naturally block LoS and inflicts a Slow debuff when you pass through it (like Harbor’s water) so it’s fairly risky to entry, but the upside is the crashing water near this waterfall is *very* loud, making footsteps and other possible sound cues drowned out. To compensate ofc, a new safer-yet-longer entrance into A would be in place. Perhaps near the right side of Cave? - Remove the tower at Mid and transform the entirely of Mid into a small tropical forest, with lots of natural cover. BUT make some of the smaller trees destructible as a way to remove more cover from the area. Doing so is risky as you create sound from your gun, and it’ll also cost a big tax on your ammo. - Make B Site and B Main an overgrown area, with moss/vine drapes and a sparse amount of destructible trees. Also make the B Window drop a cool little water pool that makes you “swim” like what you explain in this Split rework

[@HexConcepts]

As cool as this would be in some applications, I don't think this works as a competitive standard. It creates far too many variables and inconsistencies in play that just make it not all that viable for competitive play. The maps each have their own stories all while maintaining mostly decent balance on either side and using lanes and such to force players into certain positions. Adding a mass amount of destructibles could break that integrity, I feel. The slow waterfall is.. interesting. If applied not too harshly, I could see it working, however i feel like it'd be far too punishing for the attacking side to utilize properly as while it does break LoS for defenders, it'd also practically mean that there'd be a constant smoke up on the chokepoint for entry for attackers. Could be rather annoying to play with honestly lol

[@_frixx_746]

You give me a lot of hope for valorant man I love the custom map it looks amazing I really hope we get a custom maps mode!!!! It would be awesome to play on your reworks

[@froobroo1961]

people have been sharing pictures of this map and many have believed it was true. if i wasn’t following you i would’ve also been one of those who thought this is the real riot rework of split

[@gooselover69420]

i love this series already, im so glad i found your channel archmeton (also make the maps on csgo workshop so we can play it yeayea???)

[@EliteFreeman]

and this is one of the reasons why community servers should be a thing in more modern games running on community servers. of course security may be an issue too

[@oiamdahantar]

"I guess Split has ropes?" Fracture: Why are we still here... Just to suffer 😢

[@jaw____3]

i love this content idea! def keep it up, I wish you luck! I'll be sharing this around LOL the 'reworked' map is absolutely gorgeous!

[@tsumixo]

I love the idea of the chokepoints and the new entrances and spots, but what I find a little obnoxious is the amount of angles. Clearing site would feel annoying, checking left right, up all the time, and defenders pushing for retake might be really absurd. I think with either a double smoke comp or maybe a few angle tweaks, the site would be much better, because at the moment, if you want a lot of coverage over a site you need to play far back or have a sentinel with another player. This shouldn't ruin the map though, as Im sure the new feel and large scale will make the players feel more immersed in a detailed and fun game. Great work!

[@youdontknowme-b9u]

Riot: 👁️👄👁️ Riot Devs are taking notes

[@ggraphyy]

It does look really fun! Valorant other than the serious shooter feel most people want to play it for (competetive) has also this arcady colorful feel to it. I want Riot to embrace it a bit more and engage in creating more game modes, fun maps, holiday events etc... I play spike rush and I legit find some really chill people there that I have a lot of fun with, imagine if it was amped up more with different things to do and different types of way to shoot each other. Kinda went on a tangent but, yeah it feels really refreshing the changes you did, balance wise I can't judge, but congrats on the effort and the final result!

[@ItzJustCee]

Ppl on twitter passing out the map as a real rework, I just find it amazing that you genuinely made this one so good it can even pass as a oficial riot rework, perhaps even better

[@choiisoo]

This is so much better than the lazy edits the Riot devs call rework in the real Split coming out rn..... Imagine a whole studio having less ideas than a single KZbinr doing this as a hobby

[@adityasabharwal7756]

bro how such a small underrated youtuber with limited supplies make a better map than a multi million if not billion dollar company

[@aicraglednay]

Because they aren’t bound by cooperate shackles.

[@z3ph7r_]

With the outskirts of the map extended, there will be more paths available for attackers to split up, divide and conquer. The extra pathways also open room for retake scenarios, making a site rush more punishable if done rashly. Its tight corridors and choke points still give SMG's and shotguns some degree of superiority. There is a lot of different play potential that can really keep a match interesting. But the sewers part is not as intriguing. More often than not it'll be a death trap, given how players from A ramps can hear the water threading very clearly.

[@shailnakum9601]

This is so freaking good, I would love to see this in game even as a custom game mode map if possible...

[@blu_e12]

Very creative. And also that water mark is simple but clean.

[@flabyblaby]

I actually love this idea. This for some reason feels more "csgoesque." I dont know why. But I'm defo excited to see what you do with the other maps.

[@muesl]

this is really insane. great video keep it up! love this rework of split your ideas are fantastic

[@neo_l1no]

Valorant should definitely add mod and custom map support

[@IwantDoubleToast]

This Guy needs to be a riot dev!!! LOVE YOUR VIDS KEEP ULOADING!!!!

[@puthandlehere]

I love this map because not only it gives attackers a lot of options to attack (which is a core issue of Split), but also it gives defenders enough wiggle room and creativity to put out a spirited defense/retake (which is why a lot of people hate Breeze for). While this makes Split a big map, this map is going to be a huge headache for sentinel and controller mains, who prefer more straightforward play patterns, and this will make baiter duelists bait some more because of the abundance of cover. Either way, if Riot can make Split a more tactically-intensive map, then we're gravy.

[@ech0825]

I was skeptical watching this video as I was expecting news about Valorant. However, you caught my attention and kept it extremely well, throwing a lot of information in a short period. I look forward to the upcoming rework videos

[@realyatharthh]

Really wishing that Riot adds custom maps soon, I mean really soon 👀

the only thing i would say on b site you can just push b elbow off of the barrier as a defender and it would make b way harder to hit

[@emosti9652]

Ive actually made a post about changing B main to work like that but it opened to the low elevation currently in the map and opened behind postbox using a ramp. It also had a connector to B lobby.

[@Headeermusic]

[@Jupi_VALO]

[@justinlugo2507]

i love everything about this map besides the dark ass hole in mid and the water area lol, looks like you really tried and then ADHD took over like it does for me lol very cool and something to think about

[@aicraglednay]

[@Tamago.]

The amount of work that goes into each of your video is honestly amazing. Thanks for making unique and entertaining content ❤💪 (I like the coffee shop idea but maybe make the window unbreakable glass. So you can gather info but can’t shoot through it) I would not have the patience to make a map lol.

[@tabemash0594]

They actually did have a bulletproof window in the middle of split in the original playtesting version but I think they said it wasn’t a strong enough advantage to justify taking mid, and split was based on the idea of king of the hill

[@Aron64r]

The way you made the map is something I would probably never think of. :P

[@randomkzable]

Looks cool, difference between what you do an riot, is that as I noticed riot don't like to put a lot objects on the map where you would hide, your changes are more like CS maps. But overall the series should be awesome! Great job!

[@racool911]

I was new to the game and was awful when Split was still around. It would be cool to see how I play in it now

[@m1lls706]

One fun idea for the water is that instead of only being able to use knifes, you could instead add in a purchase able main weapon and side arm that are semi automatic, do much less damage but also work underwater. This would add another meta in which you use the water as hiding places and then spring onto your enemies for a surprise attack. This would be somewhat balanced as you are trading dps for the element of surprise.

[@taylinburgess1925]

This is perfect for a rework and it matches the name of the map "split" so well. With so many opportunities on attack and defense its perfect

[@Daniel-bo1xc]

Super fun Idea for a video, it'd be crazy fun to at least give quirky maps like this a try in some kind of ltm or something, who cares about balance anyways, we're here to have fun :)

Hear me out... death match with abilities, and you can change agents mid-game. (Duplicate Agents would be allowed and the teams would be 10v10 instead of 5v5, since its just a casual mode, there's no goal, and no time limit)

[@K_J_Coleman_Composer]

LEGO has a set lineup of fan-submitted ideas that they sell officially, giving credit to the original creators. Riot should take after this. Make it so the maps have to meet certain standards so that they are actually playable, and then add them to a special category that you get to play, like what they did with new maps like fracture and also give it rotation like how replication and escalation would switch

[@elpieee]

Amazing work! I hope the actual Split turns out even half as good as yours :)

[@clenchwhipper9396]

The map seems good but everything feels crowded here but no cap awesome work ❣👍

[@ELI-ug4um]

I think the theme of split is split elevation and the split between the sites(mid). Defenders have a lot of high ground over attackers but attackers have the ability to pincer a site if they get control of mid. I definitely think the walkway on the side of A is a good change but the rest was a bit too much. A lot of clutter to the map. The reason people don't like Icebox is because of all the corners you gotta check and it's cluttered, these changes would make Split like Icebox on steroids. Despite my critiquing, you did make the map much cooler to look at and A site is beautiful.

So first of all, great work here. It all looks beautiful. The thoughts about 2 Ways to enter site is great and if u think about it, on many maps it’s like this (for example Bind B: Long and Hooka). But on many others (like ascent or old split) the second way is crated through Mid and I think that’s very bad. 3 Ways would be to much so I would prob erase whole mid because u even erased the way to A Heaven… Ps: I Love the idea of the underwater
