In Valorant, there are four roles: duelists, initiators, defenders, and controllers. The latter is typically considered the least popular, but a Reddit user claims that controllers play one of the most crucial roles in the game, exerting the greatest impact.

A player using the alias "The Big Chungus" stated that the controller role significantly influences the course of the game, particularly in aspects such as fakes, slow pushes, and various tactics that contribute to the team's victory. Additionally, he added that controllers are a fairly self-sufficient class, even more so than other roles.

Furthermore, you have greater control over your game since you can always rely on yourself more than your teammates. Is the team not contesting space or reading enemies poorly? Do it yourself.

In conclusion, the player added that the only drawback of this role is its weakness in direct combat. However, he believes it is better than lacking control, which can significantly impact the match outcome. Many users in the comments agreed with this statement. User APClayton stated:

The most frustrating part of my game is when my team doesn't follow the smokes. At the end of the day, it's a team-oriented style of play. If your team doesn't play together, it's an inevitable defeat.

 

Controllers are an indispensable part of any Valorant team, yet their potential is often underestimated. If you are looking for a role that allows you to control the game's flow and influence your teammates, controllers are an excellent choice.
