Why are lineups cringe?

serious question why is it generally frowned upon?

because there are people in immortal who have the aim of golds but have lineups lol

Doesn't take much skill, you can literally 1v5 a postplant with 2 viper mollies and a smoke

Because you can get away with 0 aim and brain and by just memorizing to line up ur mouse on a specific pixel

Golds have crazy aim ngl. They´re just so fucking dumb and braindead that they throw everything away

real answer: they're not people just cope with not being able to play smarter lol

They aren’t that bad but post plant lineups just kinda make the game more boring

right? takes effort to learn a lot of lineups and its literally part of the game I dont get why are ppl cringing

most people on this thread are wrong, lineups are cringe when you as a viper go play for lineups in a 2v1 or a 4v3s, you basically bait the team and leave them at a disadvantage on site, most of the times youre better off mollying ct, wasting time and playing with your gun out

if the team even has an inch of brain, 2 people can defuse it in halves

You cannot half defuse bomb with a viper smoke decay + molly on top bro what are you talking about
Its 10-15 seconds of uncontested defuse denial

you can half it if youre on full hp right when it lands

They aren't cringe.
Forces the enemy to play a different way.
Like pushing from behind to clear out the lineup player
Or playing retakes faster
Most lineups can be countered by someone halving the bomb

look if you're playing for lineups and your team knows this then they will not be hard defending site lol, lineups are an almost guaranteed round win unless the enemy team has no counterutility or doesn't push the guy with lineups. All you need to do as a team is defend the guy, and it's a lot harder for a team to retake a lineup setup because they have more space to clear. not to mention leaving a retaking teammate defenseless while he defuses.

if you are at a man advantage and are in a good lineup position it pretty much means you only use the money needed for the lineup utility, and you are less likely to lose shield/gun money because you're not actively fighting the enemy.

there's a reason DRX plays for lineups. They are almost a guaranteed win with little risk.

i understand this for maps like bind and icebox, every other map (breeze especially) requires you to have site control
