These Agents are "cool".
Raze is undoubtedly the best Duelist Agent you can pick on Icebox, especially for Defense. She has so many grenade lineups for this map that can stomp the enemy team, especially when they are rushing, which is a very popular strategy here. Moreover, as Icebox is the map full of small corners, her ability kit is just great for countering all these campers. | © Riot Games
Back before Episode 4 Act 3, Sova was the absolute OG Initiator pick for Icebox. But well, then he got nerfed, and Fade now took his place, and we would say that she's even better than he was before the nerfs. Her ability kit (especially Haunt and Seize) can be super annoying for both sides, but especially for Attackers. Just like with Sova, you have to learn all these lineups though, but once you do that, you can be unstoppable. | © Riot Games
Okay, we have a Duelist and an Initiator, so let's move on to the best Controller on Icebox – and that is obviously Viper. What she has and other Controllers don't is the wall that can be super handy, especially when Defending B Site or in post plant situations. We would say that Viper is close to being a must-pick on Icebox, as she has everything you would look for on this map as a Controller player – wall, smoke, molly, and that midrange Ultimate Ability. | © Riot Games
But if you are a Controller player, and somebody stole your Viper then no worries – you can go for Brimstone. Actually, going for a double Controller setup on Icebox is not that bad of a strategy; it even proved to work in VCT matches. Or maybe you just don't like playing Viper; no matter your reasons, we believe that Brimstone is a decent Agent to play on Icebox as well, so you have our blessing to pick him (especially if you have some good smoke lineups prepared). | © Riot Games
Well, Sage is just good everywhere, right? True, but she is exceptionally good for Icebox. She is the best Sentinel pick for Defense, and also pretty decent for Attackers, as her ability kit is just perfect for post plant situations. Well, you can maybe consider Killjoy, but if you think about the fact that you can also play Sage a bit more aggressively, this decision is not even close. | © Riot Games
