I'm a omen main and recently added kj to my pool, I have a friend who is cypher main, but when i play solo, I sometimes had to play sentinel, so decided to try killjoy and it goes really well
This is painfully true... most controllers at least in my elo (high asc, low imt) play like they're mentally impaired or some shit. Once in a while I get a player who is clearly a controller main and the difference is astounding. The smokes are always there when you need them, you don't have to constantly ask because they have a fucking minimap, etc, etc, etc...
Yup, most controllers dont even know what theyre doing. they do the bare minimum of smoking a choke (often times not even that)
They dont know how to play around smokes, how to utilise smokes in another way, how to use smokes to manipulate enemies etc
Its like chess. Seems easy and straightforward at first but the more you play the more you realise its deep as shit
Currently full controller duty
Occasionally Sova/Breach
I dont like duelist/sentinel because my aim is not very good and those two roles are more aim heavy.
I like playing tactically, and helping my team. Initiator does just that
Controller is just perfect for me. I love taking control over anything. I also IGL in ranked so it suits best for me.
I used to main sage when I started the game 2 years ago. Then I mained raze for a bit before maining kj and cypher. When fade came out I switched to her full time, then I learned skye and (Very painfully) learned how to play kayo. Up to this point, it was around when pearl came out. I realised I needed to learn smokes for maps like pearl and icebox and also breeze. So I learned how to play viper on all three maps. Then breeze and icebox got taken out but then I learned omen on ascent and haven, which was the best choice in terms of learning agents that I ever made. Then last act I learned astra split and astra pearl. I also started maining brim on fracture for a couple of acts but now i switched it up a bit.
Currently my agent pool is:
Ascent: omen, kj, fade(rarely)
Split: astra, kj, kayo
Haven: omen, kj, skye
Bind: skye, fade, cypher, kj
Fracture(gone now): cypher, fade, skye
Pearl: astra, viper(Very rare now), skye
Lotus: omen, skye, cypher
Breeze(in the future): maybe learn harbour, relearn viper, maybe play some kayo too.
Sunset: looking like a viper or skye map for me
Main controllers. I prefer omen but will play anything that’s better to the comp. Started off as phoenix main coming from playing entry in cs during val beta as he was most cs like and all pro teams played him, realized controllers on my teams were always idiots so just started playing them myself
I flex all the time however, two at least in each “class” I’m very comfortable on.
Initiator: skye, kayo, breach, gekko
Sentinel: sage, chamber, kj, deadlock
Duelist: jett, phoenix
My “pick order” is controller => initiator => sentinel => duelist
in order of skill on the map
ascent - kayo sova omen jett
bind - skye jett raze brim
breeze - chamber kayo sova harbor
fracture - phoenix jett chamber raze(bring back fracture i miss free op kills a main)
haven - omen kayo jett
icebox - dodge(fade jett sova if i have to)
lotus - phoenix jett raze
pearl - jett kayo
split - skye raze jett
sunset - how tf do you play this map someone explain
ascent: cypher fade omen (if i have to)
bind: viper cypher raze
split: raze cypher skye omen (if im forced to)
Breeze: idk i havent played it but before i played: viper, cypher
haven (worst map btw): breach omen (if im forced to)
fracture: cypher fade viper raze
lotus: fade raze
icebox: viper
sunset: idk
