In-game roles

People talk about agent roles alot of the time.
But I think ingame roles need to be talked about
Though the roles of both loosely match up

What are the attacking side roles?

  • entry Fragger : the player who is first contact on attack
  • support:. A player that supports the team via offensive and temporary utility (flashing)
  • lurker?: Player that looks to find openings in the defense to flank
  • the rest I'm not 100% certain

Defending side:

  • anchor: a player committed to a site, rotates last.

Op? Slightly awkward role but seems to act as a secondary role to an entry due to the need of quick movement ability

IGL: sort of a permanent secondary role? Doesn't change throughout the game.

Any roles I'm missing out on? Or any fundamentals?

Or is it impossible to delegate roles due to the major differences in maps and their playstyles?

Yeah sorta a space maker.
Because their system revolved around yay.
And being on chamber made it harder to get into better positions on atk side

you forgot playmaker, rifler (person who doenst primarily plays OP but brings up the OP in case its needed and most of the times takes one of the first peeks or risky peeks since he has the best firepower of the team)
other than that, pretty sure there isnt anything else

What agents would you say encompasses/fit this role?

i would say its a player role, not a role that is locked to an agent or group of agents.
just like the lurker role, nowdays most of the times you see that the lurkers are sentinel players but from time to time there is controllers, initiators, duelists flexing it mid-match.
i think a good example of a rifler is RB from DRX and a playmaker saadhak from LOUD.
