valorant is a lot like chess and I think the openings are also similar

arguably the best opening for black against d4(I would say attackers are white but in this case they're black) is the nimzo indian and an opening move I think is equivalent to it is the haven sewer to b viper wall, it's very flexible and always strong to use with decent theory to it

one slightly more dubious opening I can think of is sunset A site main on attack where you smoke the garage thing so the defenders don't know if you're there or not and the usual deep one way is nullified and I would compare this to the Alekhine's defence

just think of it as "good strategy that works regardless of what the enemy does" as being a good opening and brimstone doing caterpillar as dubious/bad but can work if the enemy doesn't use brain

double bongcloud equivalent would be letting wingman plant and then trying to defuse while getting spammed
