RANT: Insta Locking Duelist

#1

Penqu1N

Their has to be a system put in place to block people from playing duelist. I've played two games now with the playe on my team and both times the guy has sucked so much ass early on that he turns comms off and never talks again. Dude has 88 games played this act, a .91 kd and hes only every played duelist. Yet, hes playing higher mmr despite having an average tracker of 319. 319. In 88 fucking games.

Listen, we all have bad days, we all want to play fun agents, but maybe you need to try something else. Cause it's not for you gang.

its not just about this guy man. its about in the game in general, people lock in duelists and since I want to win, I fill smokes or sentinel and consistently play well, but in the end, its not fun because people lock in agents and don't communicate. This is just one example of a player I've seen doing it.

Maybe you need to get an alt and play some low rank because this shit happens all the time here. The Reyna Jett double duelist duo is in damn near every game. You get used to it after a while. Stop crying and move on.

Bruh you can't be serious, I'm not legit telling him to smurf on people. It's just understanding that this is something that literally everyone has to deal with is the point. it's just worse in low rank because some are bots and some are smurfs.

My question is why are you flaming a random Ascendant Reyna on VLR? I get you're frustrated (I would be too) but what are you looking to accomplish by posting this?

Maybe I should remove the val tracker link. thats not the big picture. mean't to use it as an example that riot knows people want to play duelist, and to try and make roles more diverse, they should implement a system that doesn't allow people to play duelist every game

I guess that would make sense, but if you genuinely main a role shouldn't you be allowed to pick that role every game if it means you'll do better? (I get that isn't the case in this specific example, I'm talking about the big picture here)

obviously its not a flawless solution, but it does encourage people to try new things and get better at them. the game of valorant has many different agents and playstyles. Shouldn't hurt to know atleast a few outside of your main. I don't mean that people are permanently banned from playing that agent, but say they play the agent 3 games straight, the next game they can't play that role. If that makes sense

That still feels a bit unfair, though, especially if you're learning a specific agent and want to play him for several games in a row. I personally don't think a punishment for running a specific agent every single game, even if it's with good intention, will ever be fair.

as i said, theirs some flaws with this idea, but theirs also some flaws in the current agent selection process. definetly something in my opinion that should be talked about more often
