What role do you usually have to fill? Recently been initiator for me in Diamond/Ascendant elo.
controller or senti. In initiator I'd only play gekko or kayo because I dont wanna learn lineups. If duelist I only know yoru a little because thats the agent I played the most when I installed the game.
I enjoyed playing KJ or viper on icebox the most because no one did that and no one in gold realises how significantly their util impact the game but icebox is gone :(
it's not ragebait. if you master 1-3 agents in a single role you'll be surprised at how fast you'll rank up. playing sova, omen, raze, and cypher sounds like it's the most practical, but it really isn't. You don't know proper darts for every single map, you don't know how to raze satchel, you don't know cypher setups for every map. And mind you all that is the bare minimum. It gets wayyyy deeper than that. But, you probably know how to throw your cookie cutter smoke CT and heaven on every site. Still, that's not enough. You probably smoke your own awpers off, you don't smoke flat, you don't know any cheese smokes, one-ways, or OP tech.
Point is, filling is impractical because you are too focused on trying to use your own utility properly instead of comfort and confidence. And even when you're focused on utility you still don't know shit about using it properly in the slightest. So at that point your providing much less impact than if you were on your comfort agent and able to frag out.
I can play Clove/Omen/Cypher/Iso at a pretty high level so i mainly just wait and fill whatever roll hasnt been picked unless the last 2 roles are like smth/Initiator then i lock in whatever isnt initiator cause i hate playing initator. When Im forced though I can play Tejo pretty well but i think thats only cause hes broken rn
