All Changes To Icebox In Patch 4.04

1-14

Icebox got a little balanced.

A Site Changes

Cover on back A site adjusted. This change should give Defenders a little extra space to anchor on. | © Riot Games

EG Gallery valo2

A Site Changes

Head peek on attacker side pipes removed. This change should allow Defenders to better isolate where threats can come from. | © Riot Games

EG Gallery valo3

A Site Changes

Doorway into A lowered to prevent foot shot on players on top of screens. | © Riot Games

EG Gallery valo4

B Green Changes

Doorway from Attacker spawn building near Green lane moved to the first cubby. This change should give attackers a new way to approach B Green instead of having to enter from two similar positions. | © Riot Games

EG Gallery valo5

B Green Changes

Green lane slightly widened. This change should make moving through this space more comfortable. | © Riot Games

EG Gallery valo6

B Green Changes

Pocket in Green lane near Yellow extended. This should make angles toward B Site and Snowman more clear and readable. | © Riot Games

EG Gallery valo7

B Site Changes

Yellow container adjusted and new stack of crates added. This change should allow Yellow to retain some power while adding more value to holding space on the actual site. | © Riot Games

EG Gallery valo8

B Site Changes

Lower container removed and geometry adjusted into a cubby facing Green. Doorway on the upper container widened and it’s position adjusted. This should allow players to better isolate fights around the site and make utility usable more meaningful. | © Riot Games

EG Gallery valo9

B Site Changes

Outer wall on B site and crane structure brought in toward the site. Narrowing the site allows for more controllers to comfortably use their utility without having to worry about gaps. | © Riot Games

EG Gallery valo10

B Site Changes

Building in Back B closed off. Closing off this building should allow players to better anchor themselves in Snowman. It should also better highlight using B Fence to cut off rotations. | © Riot Games

EG Gallery valo11

B Site Changes

Plant zone on B site adjusted. This change is to encourage more spike plant diversity while retaining some safer defaults to work with. You can now also plant on the bridge from kitchen to upper container as well. | © Riot Games

EG Gallery valo12

Mid Changes

Back wall in Kitchen adjusted. This change should help moving through this space feel more comfortable and allow players to more easily clear this space. | © Riot Games

EG Gallery valo13

Mid Changes

Crates added to Orange lane to block line of sight from under tube to danger. | © Riot Games

EG Gallery valo14

Mid Changes

Boiler ramp geo simplified and slightly narrowed. Smokes will now fully cover Boiler and players should find head peaks from ramp more predictable. | © Riot Games

Icebox was always that one annoying map where you tried to win as many rounds as possible as Attackers and went for some wacky tactics as Defenders. With the changes brought by the 4.04 update, this map should be a bit more fun to play, so I guess it's official – Fracture is the worst map in the game! But jokes aside, here are all the changes on Icebox for Episode 4 Act 2.
