Controller
In VALORANT, a Controller is an agent who shapes the map with smokes and area-denial abilities — blocking sightlines to enable site executes and retakes.
Controller — definition
A Controller is one of the four agent roles in VALORANT. Controllers shape the battlefield with smokes and area-denial abilities — cutting off sightlines and slicing the map into pieces the team can take one fight at a time.
Good smoke placement lets a team execute onto a site (attack) or retake it (defence) on favourable terms, which is why Controllers work hand-in-hand with Initiators and Duelists.
