Just wanted to clarify “smoking off tripwires” and elaborate for people new to the controller role. The narrator said “smoke off a tripwire,” but you cannot smoke off a Cypher tripwire. You can smoke off other Sentinel “flank watching utility” such as Chamber trip and Killjoy alarm bot and turret because they are vision-activated (alarm bot is similar enough). Smoking off Deadlock’s sonic sensors would be pointless because they are noise-activated, not vision-activated. Hope this was helpful to someone (:

[@Sleepy_playz]

Low elo controllers suck

[@therealchicken7151]

pretty sure he means smoking it off so you can push inside of it to destroy the util, or smoke your mates wire off so that the enemy doesnt see it and walks into it

A smoke on Cypher trips is horible cause if you catch it he sees you in smoke but u can't see him.

So true! I already thought about quitting controllers entirely after some recent matches I had…

[@karambit6508]

@@SonicDino77 I feel you. Even if its in an unrated/swift/spikerush.

[@prognargada]

Well it depends on the importance of the round. If you made a creative play but has no result or it was a selfish play with no impact then of course you will be critized for that bad play. But if you create those plays to create an impact like you know the enemy is aggressive so you play close or you know that you have an ally anchoring a site and smoking some angles for him to have more 1v1 instead of getting rushed. So being creative does not always give good results. Cause most probably the plays that always get criticized is because you made a controller become a duelist which is not the main role of a controller. If you just want kills then just go initiator or duelist

[@karambit6508]

@@prognargada im referencing multiple normal games, not even comp. In comp its been better because closer matchibg skill level, minus the countless smurfs. As a side note, not a lot of people like to play smoke so we end up being picked out of necessity, ppl still get mad. So sooo sooooo many people see a smoke and just push it and die to face checking 4 ppl, turn around and yell at the smoker.

[@jcamsss]

i swear i get flamed more as brim than when im being stupid with my util in any other role as any other agent

[@Natseldu]

It just so happens that everytime I use an unconventional smoke to enable several exit-points or apply pressure or whatever I get flamed by the teammates that don't understand how to play with it. So I go back to using smokes everyone on my team can understand. I'm Plat/Dia by the way...

[@Gabrielxdxd4]

Communicate and tell them what u're smoking. For example: "Hey kay/o, I'm smoking close so we pop flash at entry, it's our eco, let's risk it"

[@Kentochit]

-did a great smoke for a jett -didnt know what to do to play around -flamed me for the entire match, even tho I carried him

[@graiya8813]

Aimed for plat to always get teammates that understand what smokes are for. Still get this guys, who cant even imagine enemy hiding in a smoke. Dissapointed, back to duelist

[@professorxxx4142]

I mean you can't just do whatever you think is smart with no communication and expect everyone to instantly understand and play off of it What if a smoke you just placed blocked off a potential frag for your teammate? What if they just whipped out a flash they intended to use to push the part of the map you just smoked off?

[@88SD]

tbf as much as I do agree about the not using all your smokes at the start of a round it does depend on the match, map, enemy team agents and enemy aggression level as well as which smoker you have. As an Omen main I sometimes use both smokes early on at the start as I know that I'll get them back afterwards but using all brims smokes start of the round yeah, that's not ideal

[@NA-Not-Available]

Tbh smokers such as me knows these things to the heart, its just a lot of us, especially those introverted (like me) don't dare to call for smokes. We fear the consequences to come if anything fails even if it is not our fault.

[@jtrinipapa]

that's understandable and my advice is much easier said than done: but try to keep the mental that you'll never see these people again. If your comm goes bad and you get flamed, mute them and comm to the rest of the team. If the flame or throw, it happens. Just end the game and go next and try to assume people are down to comm properly til proven otherwise

[@weltenfresser3546]

Bro, this ONE VIDEO alone helped me INSTANTLY. I hopped into comp as clove and started being more creative with mid site smokes on defense and post-entry. 3 Clutches, and an ace-clutch and one near-clutch. I always knew controllers were the most pressured to play out clutch situations but I never realized I would be able to do that as well. I am not about to buy the course but DAMN this was like a wake up call for me thank you.

[@michaelliu2961]

Buy the course then, it's like 1 McDonald's burger and it'll probably give you more fun than the burger.

[@_yarnzgaming_7012]

As a controller main, this video made me really proud of how much i've learnt and how much of this video I already knew. And this video is totally right. Smokes are probably the most unique and important role in the game. If done right it could mean the difference of winning and losing. And with a lot of duelst players going to clove, ive had a ton of players throw the game by messing up smokes, denying out team info, this video is a must see for all those new clove players

Summary - Flexibility DOES matter - Mid-Site Smokes: Movement freedom and isolating fights - Peeking, Spacing, & Positioning can be weaknesses if done incorrectly - Flood Smokes: Players are free to move on and off of site - Lurk Smokes: Makes it difficult for defenders to watch your angle - One-Ways: Watch the legs and sound Watch the rest of the video now!!

[@jesusmontes1768]

Not sure if I missed it, but needed to highlight postplant diffs when having/not having your controller alive. Leaving mollying and lineups out, I couldn't count the times I made this controller in-game impact just by setting up a smoke cover over me or my teammates while defusing the spike (most of the times, it was me defusing and saving the round without even see or shooting at the enemies ☺). Great video and, please, respect for controller mains!

[@cb5818]

I am a smokes main. I feel like I mastered the role to some degree. I am playing Clove atm and I am having a blast. A tip for Clove specifically when you are dead, if a teammate is playing super aggressively or camping a useless corner, smoke them. in the first scenario they will think, do they want to continue aggressing? or will they back off? in the second, it will force them into a more proactive position. It may not be the most game breaking tip but I won rounds like that.

[@reason3883]

[@liquidsquid5295]

[@slick8098]

Problem with midsite smokes is that it can also be used by enemy players , smooth brained players who never played controllers or have not seen anything outside the standard smokes never use it to their advantage

[@ItsVektor]

Yoo thx u for teach new players a lot of things it really helped me. Take care

[@vitthalkudav4213]

Best way to play smokes is to communicate with the team, thats why I play 5 stack so that my team listens when I call a strart based on smoke and we get used to it by doing it often.

[@peanut_boiboi5452]

"ok guys lets try a proper push ok, ill smoke and then blind backside, skye flash in and jett dash in everyone else follow ok?" - throws 2 smokes and a blind - teammates keep holding the smoked off entrance - "lets rotate" Whyyyyyyyyyyyy

[@NerdyBigBrother]

generally speaking you are only throwing the mid site smokes for yourself. Dont throw them for teammates that dont know how to use them obviously. Plus, all it takes is one round to tell them "Hey, im throwing a smoke mid site for you. Use it if you need."

I’m the opposite. Omen has one less smoke, but you recover them over time. Paranoia is very clutch when stuck in spots that requiring crossing over or when coordinating with teammates to push. Teleport same idea, use it to get to spots the enemy won’t expect like higher angles or using it to peak like jump teleporting. His ult, screws the enemy’s map for a bit and you can go ANYWHERE you like. I usually smoke off heaven sites, wait a bit, then TP into the smoke. His ult is also good to teleport plant by grabbing it then canceling the ult. Helps your team avoid unnecessary fights. Used to be a harbor main with your same thoughts but now I only use omen now

The playerbase is finally realizing this now and they are improving so quickly. I can't do my usual strats anymore to easily rank up anytime soon lol. The more people know this info, the more I have to think of my own strategies again to win. Which is fun, don't get me wrong, but this is why I don't reveal my tricks and playstyle most of the time. Because in the end, in this game, once you effectively control information in some way, you have the upper hand. And the controller role is excellent at that. It is called a controller for a reason. I'm not saying that everyone should always play controller however, to the point of making it a 5man, as every role shines in various situations and every agent can become a duelist at some point. Valorant is still a team game. But pair a controller agent up with a player with an average aim but with a decent or good mind, rank won't matter at all. And aim? It won't have as much of an impact if it's suppressed and outplayed by util. Valorant always has been a mind game with team elements from the very start. And I'm so glad I started playing it.
