Which playstyle appeals to you the most when you're just starting out in Valorant?
1) Aggressive: You prioritize taking out enemies quickly and controlling the map with constant pressure.
2) Defensive: You focus on holding angles, gathering intel, and counter-attacking in key rounds.
3) Mixed: You balance both approaches depending on the situation, adapting to your team or the opponent's strategy.

I started with an aggressive playstyle because at first I was obsessed with winning duels and feeling like I was in control. I climbed up to Silver pretty quickly by teaming up with friends, but we lacked coordination and always went for rushed pushes without a plan. In the end, we’d lose two rounds in a row and then get demolished because we’d lose every push due to lack of info. That’s when I realized that being aggressive without control is like signing your own defeat in the first round. Now, I mix in constant pressure when I have a good economy or the game calls for quick changes, but I always keep a backup plan if the initial one fails. The mix, at least in my case, is what gives me the most consistency.
