Dropped spike icon should be fairly easy to spot - it's pretty large compared to the other icons. Let me know if there are cases where that's not true because of color or overlapping.

I believe OP was talking about in game, not on the minimap.

In game the spike is really dull, doesn't really stand out on screen in a pile of bodies/guns/grey floor.

It would be nice if it was brighter or had a larger glow and stood out more in the environment.

So the fps optimization fix is only for when people were shooting and not specifically for split and abilities like sage slow etc?

Edit: they did optimize split as well, I must have missed it. Gonna have try out to see if the drops are gone.

I didn't notice that update... honestly if you spot the spike c4 carrier your team should be able to see that in the minimap.

Thanks for responding - as this is definitely a big change as people relied on the mini map for a lot of information.
If Riot is going the route of not showing the spike on enemy or friendly models, I think the Spike either needs to a new color or something different because it is still not always to easy to spot where the Spike is dropped on the ground because it blends in with character models and/or guns. I'm sure others share my sentiment on this.

Is the Spike visible on whoever the enemy team is carrying it then?

Added color to the player’s own minimap icon with a slightly thicker border to aid in finding oneself (on the minimap, not in life)

rito pls i'm having an existential crisis

Thank-you for clarifying this. Was there any discussion if this was a positive bug? I typically play more of a IGL type roll, holding a deeper angle & paying more attention to the minimap to make team comms (since I find a lot of people aren't making voice comms), and I loved being able to see the importance of a push (even if only spotting one person). I feel this doesn't impact high level play, as I believe most high level play will safe drop the bomb Spike behind and only pick it up once the site is confirmed and entry frags are already made.

Waaaiitt a minute!

Removed Spike icon from being visible on enemy player minimap icons

Does this mean if you spot the bomb Spike carrier, you'll no longer gain that information? (Currently, if I have the bomb Spike and you see me. on the minimap you will have my icon with a small bomb Spike icon.. and then I turn into a yellow question mark instead of red) That's massive if that's correct?

Edited to use correct nomenclature

Does this mean that when you get bomb does as ct, it won't appear on the minimap any more?

Some people are reporting false bans, can you check the subreddit? They seem honest and I don't know if this could be the reason.
