1. Do you prefer playing slightly away from your team to create more map presence at the risk of your team dying without you/your abilities? Or do you prefer sticking with your team and committing to a bombsite?

2. If the attack looks like its going to fail (enemy Sage wall to create tight chokepoint, your entry dies to a Jett in the sky, 2 enemies on site) do you follow your teammates to force a trade or do you fall back and look for openings elsewhere at the risk of seemingly baiting your team?

3. Do you switch up positions regularly on defense in an even game or do you let your team stick to and familiarise themselves with the same positions? I find that as the better player in my games, I have to switch up regularly on defense otherwise I lose winnable games because I get figured out when playing the same position 10 times or I can't play aggressive as often as I'd like while I can play aggressive every round and look for picks if I play different positions all the time.

Regarding 1, one problem I have with Valorant is agent abilities just force everyone into predefined roles. It feels stupid to play away from my team unless I'm a smoker. People expect Sage to wall during executes, initiators to provide all the intel, duelists to entry, flashers to flash, sentinels to carry bomb. Who the fuck then gets to lurk and creates map presence and discourage enemy from instantly rotating as they always do in low elo? Global smokers only? You pick Sova or you pick Jett and you have to stick with your team at all times otherwise they are upset.
