Valorant
Agent Utility
Valorant rounds are won with utility, then aim. If you dump every smoke on pistol, you will have nothing left when the actual execute happens.
Defaults exist so you do not guess
A default is a few pieces of util to take space, not a full execute. Clear close angles, then decide the site.
Save a flash for the swing, not for the walk-up. Wasted flashes are free kills for the defender who waited.
Smokes have a timer
Smoke too early and they swing through. Smoke too late and your entry already died. Practice the delay on one site until it is boring.
One-ways and Molly lines are map homework. Copy a line from a vod, then test it in a custom before ranked.
Retake util is different
Attack smokes hide a plant. Retake smokes isolate a player. Do not copy the same lineup for both jobs.
Players who like short recaps can find more in extra context.
