If you play Valorant, or even know about it, you probably know the map Haven. It's the only map with 3 different planting sites, A, B, and C.
Riot confirmed that there was an exploit on Haven and disabled it in competitive, hence the update earlier today. But we're not talking about that.
We're talking about FPS drops lower-end players experience when playing in Haven. The map is so large, that there's too much going on at the same time, in different places, which is perfectly fine for PCs that can handle it. However, lower-end gamers such as people who play on Intel's integrated graphics will feel this significant 5-20 frame drop compared to other maps like split.
This has also made lower-end gamers think they can't run Valorant on their PC, when in reality, the other maps can get them a solid 30-60 FPS. Riot hasn't made a statement about this yet, however they have addressed ping spikes and FPS drops around the whole game. There really isn't much they can do about it either however. Lower-end gamers also don't know that it's not their computers fault, therefore Riot probably does know either.
