Maybe a Controversial opinion but on most maps in any elo except like high immo and rad team comp doesn't matter, what matters is how people play together and how comfortable they are on agents. I would rather have a clove, cypher and 3 duelists who all like playing their agent and understand their agent than for my instalock reyna to be on sova and not know how to use his kit and still play fights like a reyna. There is no point. Cyoher cam is a drone if you know how to use it, reyna flash is an entry flash for my jett and so on... comfort >comp
i agree up to a certain point
just cuz ur comfortable doesnt mean u should lock jett reyna raze phoenix yoru on sunset for example, it just literally doesnt make sense. it doesnt matter what rank u are in because whichever rank u are in the enemy is in the same rank and presumably the same skill level as you
on an even playing field, the team with the better team comp wins
sure whether u play omen or astra may not matter that much, its the fact that u need a SMOKES character is what matters for example
controller in mid to high elo is defo important but u can get away with if it everyone instalocks duelist
in low elo team comp doesn't matter at all
initiator doesn't really matter that much until like high immortal or radiant cuz u can just use a reyna flash, yoru flash, initiate with an iso vulnerable or an omen blind etc...
ur logic of "low elo team comp dont matter" does not make sense at all
- that is not how the game is supposed to be played, characters exist for different roles and different purposes for a reason
- if it ACTUALLY doesnt matter its still good to build good habits for higher elo
- if ur logic is just oh ill just aim diff them remember that YOU are in the SAME RANK for a reason. you are not better than the enemy team, so u cant just pray "oh i hope i just aim diff them" no, that doesnt make sense because u guys are the same rank
initiators absolutely matter lmfao any decent enemy with a brain will just play hard corners when u dont have like a fade skye sova etc
u would have to MANUALLY check with your body EVERY SINGLE corner and thats gonna be a hella pain in the ass to do
this is how i know ur not high elo an initiator absolutely matters try playing split or ascent without an initiator for example and see how hard it is to clear those corners that normally u drone
ALSO it makes it incredibly hard on the duelists to entry without having corners properly droned or scaned theyre basically using their life to clear the corners and if they often die because like 5 different angles arent cleared u go at them and start being like oh why do u instalock when u bottom frag or wtv but the reality is its hard for them to do their job when theres fundamentally missing vital pieces of utility that enables them to
bro no one in low elo is avoiding util by hiding in corners, no one in low elo is using smokes properly
if ur better u can just run it down and out aim them
also alot of the time in low elo people literally smoke so wrong that it helps the other team and gives them more angles to peak out of or to cross behind objects
also ur "when ur in the same elo no one is better" logic doesn't even make sense, ofc you can be better than someone and be in the same elo or no one would be able to win
ur really over thinking it lol, its not the VCT no one is using util properly no one is entering properly just aim for the head lol
i disagree with this
people instalock because they deem themselves best for the role and confident, they take their role because they are unable to play other roles
if ur not going to instalock and u lock in a 3rd duelist when u need smokes thats just retarted as fuck and braindead
if ppl locked in 5 duelists coincidentally thats just unlucky
instalocking jett on ascent then flaming a guy for locking in yoru when u dont have smokes is perfectly fine
if ur not fast enough to lock ur own role then i guess ur stuck with filling, thats just how the game works
if ur not going to instalock and not fill then u dont deserve the elo and dont deserve to win
most duelist instalockers would fill if they knew how braindead their team is to lock 3 or 4 duelists toghether instead of picking smokes
i just speak my mind
i dont "try' to be different, im just who i am and if im different oh well i guess thats too bad for u that nobody__100 doesnt like that im different from other people i guess
lets say i suck at smokes and im good at duelist im obviously going to lock my duelist so i dont have to end up playing smokes and throwing the absolutely most dogshit smokes known to man
unless someone else locks it first then oh well i guess
i WILL be flaming them because neglecting team comp is a completely braindead thing to do
if i instalocked duelist and theres alrd 2 if the 5th person picks a third duelist when we lack an initiator or senti is just completely braindead
logic is if ur the last one to pick and u dont pick roles that need filling then you are the one trolling, not the ones picking duelist
you also should not tell them what to play because its literally COMMON SENSE to pick smokes when ur the last person to pick if there isnt one or an initiator if there isnt one
picking a third duelist out of spite because instalock duelists told u to fill as you should is just immature and childish
hmm but i have actual valid points that make sense and follows logical reasoning
meanwhile u on the other hand just go "oh dont tell me what to play when u instalock1" and "0/8"
normally when ur trying to get ur point across ur supposed to back it up and provide reasoning
take a look, i wonder whos the braindead one here
if you instalock, everyone else in your lobby has the right to instalock as well
if you want to play your game, it is also their right to play their game as well. why do they have to force themselves to play around you? they queued up because they wanted to have a game of valorant and enjoy themselves, and so did you. why do they have to play some dumbass agent that they don't like just because you have faster internet?
because we play this game to win
yes they also have a right to instalock if we just so happen to instalock all 5 duelists at once no complaints ill just dodge
they queued up to win, i dont think anyone queues comp to lose
and to win u would need a decent team comp, initiator, and smokes
if they so choose that they dont need a initiator and smokes that completely on them for being braindead
yes they have a right to lock in a horrible pick
just like i have a right to tell them what to pick also, its very logical that i demand a normal team comp, right? i locked my duelist to entry, and im not entrying if theres no smoke for market or ct and i get shot at by 50 different angles at once
its very natural to demand "normal" conditions, no?
its up to them to choose whether they end up picking or not, that depends on their Intellectual level
in this world not everything that u do will be ur liking
if someone locks faster than me i will gladly fill
unfortunately there is no way of knowing if someone is better on the role or not
if u know u cant play other roles urself then u gotta just lock before anyone else does or else you would be forced to fill
and whoever doesnt lock fast enough will have to fill
playing someone that ur not exactly the most comfortable with > playing 3 duelist or 4 duelist comp with no smokes so every time u entry site u get shot at from 4-5 different angles and tilts ur mental
in short, yes
unless u can come up with a better idea
running it down with 4 duelists and a cypher is not a better idea btw
if u do come up with something better lmk ill be waiting
when ur inflexible, you would have to instalock, because if u dont instalock and u end up filling for a shit role and lose the game bcz of it thats on u
I don't think instalocking is inherently bad but blaming your team for locking more duelists when you instalock is stupid. You both have the same issue of inflexibility, you just locked first putting the burden on them. In that scenario, you can't be mad if they don't perform because that same thing would happen to you too
