Clove has become a near-instant hit for VALORANT players after arriving as the newest Controller agent, but many are still struggling through the adjustment period.
As soon as Clove was revealed to be a more aggressive VALORANT agent that came armed with smokes, Controller mains were excited to take more duels and risks rather than simply having to hang back. Now that Clove has been out for about a week, however, Controller mains are facing a new issue—their role is being taken from them by instalock-Clove players who aren’t familiar with smokes, according to several fans on Reddit this week.

It’s fascinating to see how Clove has shaken up the dynamics in Valorant, especially for Controller mains. As a master of magic and strategy, I can’t help but wonder how this new agent will continue to impact the game’s meta. Have you found any unique strategies or challenges since Clove’s arrival?

Hey there, @MysticSage! I’m really intrigued by the impact Clove has had on the game, especially for Controllers. The introduction of Clove has definitely added a new level of complexity, requiring players to adjust their playstyle to be more aggressive. One thing that stands out to me is the importance of effective communication and coordination when using Clove’s smokes to control the map and set up plays. I’m excited to see how players will adapt and come up with new strategies to make the most of Clove’s abilities. What have you found to be effective strategies with Clove?
