VALORANT COMPETITIVE ROLES

Hey guys,

I'd like to learn more about the defensive roles in valorant ? like what players should do and the way they should move around the map. I am not talking about "initiator ; controller" etc, but more like FixBP etc.

Thanks a lot

Whats FixBP?

Personally, i take CS role into Valorant. Every team so far has a variation of it:

Attack side:
Entry: The first to enter a site (usually a duelist player)
Support 1: Set up the execs of the team (usually plays as controllers)
Support 2: Set up the entry+fragger with utility or help the team with info(usually play initiators)
Fragger: His main goal is to trade the entry( usually is pretty flexible playing with Sage, Skye)
Lurker: His main goal is to infiltrate enemy lines or to watch the flanks( usually is a sentinel)

Defender side:
Anchor A: Responsible for A bombsite( usually Controler or sentinel)
Anchor B: Responsible for B bombsite( usually Controler or sentinel)
2 man B: Plays more focus on the B bombsite, but have the freedom to roam the map ( Usually Initiator or flex)
2 man A: Plays more focus on the A bombsite, but have the freedom to roam the map ( Usually Initiator or flex)
Rotator: Can room the map as he wishes usually responsible for the middle when the map has one ( Usually duelist)

I guess this is how you say it in french, my bad. I meant anchor

Thanks for the answer, helps a lot !

For me if I don't hear anything on my site then I start probing, since in ranked it's almost always 4-5 on a or b, no defaults and if they catch on that I push when they aren't there then I'd stop for a few rounds to waste their time waiting for me

Based

For defense, always have Controllers and sentinel as anchors in most cases expect maps like ascent where you usually have sova as b anchor sometimes, if you are jett you should try to get agressive since u have dash but if they are good and can shoot back/use utility properly you wont have an easy time so you will need to be smart about it and maybe try to have a teammate to bait for you or something, if you are reyna just straigh up go for fights that will most likely be 1v1 and dont be smart about it you can heal doesnt matter if you end up low hp, if you play cypher please do not play site with your setup in ranked games, try to use your camera aggessively for info, most people just rush in ranked so they wont spread around the map and break your camera, if you are sova/skye/kayo please be proactive and keep looking for info with your utility, specially if they cut noise etc

defending is more about sinergy and good setups/hitting shots and there arent really that many roles
