Baiting isn't bad

If you are able to trade and are truly the best player on a team. Ofc I am talking about rational baiting where you still perform your role, for example Leo can drone dart and whatever, and then fully play to trade a teammate who is running it down into site, or Aspas can dash into a smoke see an enemy and just sit there until his teammates seing him and just get an easy kill. There can be 1 baiter per team (or honestly even 2) and a team can be great

kind of crazy how the "GOAT"s of Valorant are known baiters

we not looking at you Aspas and Leo!!!

8/8

baiting is bad if you are a duelist

Oh man not like this

true

istg people will call anything baiting
like when you're running into the bombsite, you dont need to be right next to your teammate fighting the exact same things as them all the time in order to be effective
you can come out and full hold an angle so that they can clear other spots without having to worry about a dangerous angle and thats fine

No baiting (as in actual baiting) is bad.
Actual baiting screws your teams and will just result in unnecessary and untraded deaths.

The term baiting just gets thrown around without actually looking at the setups from the team so its lost a ton of its value.
Most things we call baiting isnt baiting.

If your team plans around you playing back, then thats not baiting. Thats doing your job and (often times) the team playing into your strengths.

Dont have one for leo, but for aspas here is Neil talking about his bait accusations:
