filling

filling is actually the dumbest shit ever and people need to get rid of that mind set

you dont need to fill in ranked below immortal 3 with the exception of smokes

"filling" isnt gonna do shit in ranked, just because you dont have a certain role doesn't mean someone has to fill onto an agent in that role

its annoying when people in ranked get mad because you played an agent you're comfortable on over "filling"

ur not even gonna be getting value out of an agent if u dont know how to play that certain agent, playing an agent you are comfortable on is FAR more impactful then playing an agent just because its a certain role

immortal 3/Radiant is different because players will know how to shut down site execs and exploit gaps in your team comp but in any rank below that you can just shoot the opponent in the head

i'd much rather someone go a third duelist as long as they are comfortable on that agent rather than someone play an initiator just for the sake of it and proceed to keep flashing the team

always play what you want
turn off voice chat if required

turning off voice comms and muting both team's text comms is the only correct play of playing ranked below plat

True but 90% of people who say this play duelist and bait the whole game which is probably why this happens

I faced a cracked Jett once and then got him on my team the next game. He wanted to fill Cypher but I bullied him into locking Jett again. Sure enough he carried our asses and then asked himself why he plays senti at all

People fill because they know how to play a bunch of agents? this is like telling demon1 to lock in jett when the team needed a smoke agent and jawg was already on raze. Just because someone's more comfortable with a pick doesn't mean it will let you win over playing something that you are less comfortable on.

Your logic on play whatever as long as youre below immo 3 is kind of stupid because the team mentality if you lock a third duelist instead of just playing initiator/sentinel is guaranteed to just make your team wanna throw. I would say anything from iron-plat should play whatever they want but after you get into plat if you lock in 3 duelists instead of a initiator like sova on ascent then that's just ggs unless your team is just so much better than the enemies.

True, team comps is just a cope utterred by hardstuck player with subpar mechanics

I disagree, if you're able to frag on other agents than your main, you could flex. It's not that hard to learn agents at a decent level for most ranks. If you're really worried about flashing your team, Sova, Fade, and Gekko exist. KJ and Cypher can get value very easily once you have even one good setup. Clove and Omen allow for both smokes and aggressive play if needed. You don't have to learn every agent in the game, but this is just a cop-out to avoid actually learning other agents and picking good team comps.

It probably doesn't matter in most games in low rank anyway, but the games suck partly due to how bad the comps are. I get double senti all the time in my ranked games, and it sucks for trying to take site.
