This is exactly what valo players need to understand. I keep telling my team that they need to play like the role they have picked. You cant play slow with a duelist or wait for someone to ask for a smoke. Being proactive is key to getting the control of the rounds. Being a duelist you should have the mindset to push into a site without the fear of dying. Sure try not to die but if your team is getting the full control of site because you pushed and got the info then that's good for you too. You got the round! and you will get +ve RR when you win the match, not when you drop 40 kills and still lose the match. Prioritize winning the round over kills.

I’ve definitely dealt with insta-lockers and they are annoying as hell but there are also people who basically expect they duelists to be two ranks ahead of them so they can get carried and not lift a finger to help them.

QotW: I would say Controllers are the most important to have on the team. I play in low elo and here it doesn’t make a difference if we have 4 of 0 duelists, same as initiators, but I would prefer having an initiator on the team, over a duelist. Sentinels fill similar role to a controller, but they are more about holding an angle than attacking one. Controllers can do both, attack sites, defend sites and fake site holds. The only negative with controllers in low elo is the high skill gap of the role, but just having a person who knows smoke spots is waay better than having a duelist who camp upon a box all game.

i just started playing valorant a week ago and your videos have been super helpful to the learning curve

Love the vids sarge, keep it up man

I think the most valuable role is still controller though, at least in low ranks, you're literally the only one keeping your team from getting overrun by enemies every round

very helpful video Sgt Frost, im sharing this around.

i started playing more with Kayo/ Skye Lately and its clear they have to different ways of being played. I like being aggressive with both of them but it always fucks me over when I dont play smart. These tips help alot

Duelist : the bait/ the loner/ the self sufficient Controller : The angle blocker mostly haven / semi defender sentinel : the anti backstab / hardcore defender initiator : the angle scanner for duelist or your team / detector when defending

Great video, really just top tier explanations there Frost, nice.

In my opinions the main role depends of the map u're playing one. Some maps definetly needs à controller cause without smokes it can be really difficult to take a site and to keep it. On some closer maps like Icebox, i think smokes aren't that important and initiators will be.

Yo, just started off playing and this really helped. I typically play Sage or Phoenix, of which I had issues with both, I basically played them backwards. I'd be more passive with Phoenix and more aggressive with Sage when I didn't need to, so thanks for the helpful tips!

I start playing Valo a few days ago and I play as Kay/o, his play style is fairly simple but I have a hard time understanding when to use the flash at times which usually gets me killed

You should be using your flash to either stall enemies on an attack, or common angles where you think someone will be peeking/holding you. You should also communicated with your team when you are about to flash, usually helps with coordinated swings and your low-elo teammates dont get team flashed

As someone who almost only plays initiators, initiators are the best by far because of how adaptable they are, the ones who gather information (like Sova, Fade, even Skye and Kay/o) are amazing I love them, and most of them also do awesome on attacking side or defending side

Sentinel/initiator main here (Cypher and KJ. Sometimes Kay/o or Sova) :) ty for this information- ill be sure to put it into practice

"Me when I speak" My team : "shutup kid"

thnx for the tips i will try these

The regularly scheduled transition was so smooth

i recently learned to play sova as an initiator/duelist, not only am i top fragging almost every round and clutching, but i have shot up the ranks

Very informative video! Thanks alot! 🤓

Thank you!

I use kj ult to either force the opposing team to rotate, get easy kills, or force them to rush in. Her kit is really useful and it can help you get better angles

This helps so much

Playing Skye and KJ is amazing because u can get so much info from Skye’s ult,bird,tiger and its so fun to annoy the hell outta them with the flashes and KJ basically has an aimbot turret,a alarm for 6:15 a molly that hits harder than my mum’s slippers

These jett clips were so satisfying

8:42 i like how they removed kj set up vid when they before they said wider

1:40 brimstone’s username is awesome

This music goes well with the vid , very intense

Atm I'm switching between yoru and cypher depending on the map and using both helps me get my team mates who use them to use them properly

the most important role in the team is all I guess as long they are trust each other and good at coms and they don't be a toxic to each other and knows how they played their roles

I think Initiator is the most important role idk why but i feel like it when i play Kay/o and breach when our team lacks this role

Sentinels are also amazing on post plant on attack not just flank

Most helpful video

For me, I feel like playing controllers feel most natural to me. It’s protect teammates whenever util is ready, and after that go crazy.

I set up at one point as kj and have 3 others at another point that Swipe the map to where I am and get them from the back. Wins most of the time

Thanks

so this confirms i like playing aggressive.. nice

The part in duelist where you don't get traded sounds super familiar.

duelist is the most important because you can get by without smokes but without someone entering for you against site denial its very hard to do anything and the other team will just rotate to the execute

“You have to be pretty selfless and expect to be baited” As if those instalocks are gonna listen

from like 400+ hours of playing kj and cypher, it feels like senitnels role on attack is only 'plant bomb'. the amount of games my reyna or sage has decided theyre gonna go lurk or watch flank (when my util already is and ive told them they dont need to) is insane

as someone who mainly plays sentinels and controllers, being baited by duelists is beyond annoying. if i’m a controller, i smoke for you so you can entry and gain info, but when you ”force” the controller to entry, you’ll have to play the rest of the round without smokes. similar with sentinels, if you bait your sentinels you’ll have more angles to cover yourself when you’re forced to play without the sentinel util.

Initiators and controllers def top 2 important roles. Both are good on def and attack. One controls maps (in a game about maps and positioning ffs!) and the other initiates and/or gets intel (in a game about finding and killing enemies! lol). Least important role tbh is probably dulelist cus everyone is a duelist. You wont run out of them. Shit even a sentinel thinks they are a duelist LMAO.

Love how the duelist ones were "Just stop playing like you're playing"

I like controllers because i like to make the part of the map how i desier,and popping up from the smoke to kill my enemies my favourute controllers are viper and astra,i qlso love playing initiator with fade qnd skye

Best role for teamfight is controller and duelist. In attack, Controller can block flanks, so we can plant safely. Duelist is best for entry, they can gather information like sova. In defense. Controller can make enemy entry messed up. idk duelist use in defense.

I think The most important Role is Initiator Whereas Sentinel is the hardest role cause u need so much experience

I play a controller but I dont play it normally. I play omen and go for the hyper agro pushes
