"Pick smokes please"

Why tf do people instalock the agent they want to play and then ask for smokes?

I instalock controllers and say "Pick duelists please"

True. Its actually so common to see people instalocking Reyna, Jett or Chamber and then complain when people are not willing to fill in for them.

I usually play smokes but if someones asks for it i lock phoenix

if they will not fill then why they play? i instalock every time and if someone was first, i will fill
whats the point to play 3 duelists

i think they're trolling us

No.

Yeah been there, i've always played smokes since i started in valorant but at the time it was by own decision (when i played with friends).

With soloq or duo/trio, those duelists started to appear... the true valorant experience lol
Also they expect you to be the fragger (?)

edit: also for the record, i stopped playing for like 3 months. I came back for some matches this weekend with a duo, and i swear ranked is worse than ever (in plat).

whats the point to not fill the role? play 3 duelist and suck on bottom?
if your agents are locked fill, i do it coz im an instalocker

rare opinion u should listen to them and fill
if u dont wanna fill then insta lock or dodge
waiting until ur whole team has picked and going for a 3rd duelist instead of smokes is worse than being an instalock duelist

Then stop instalocking??? You talk as if that is something you can't help doing when you could wait to pick a character and talk to your team.

fill or dodge.
i hate player that pick 3rd duelists than the instalock player

I just report those mf's.

I don’t like playing duelist cuz you basically HAVE to perform well or otherwise you’re baggage.

my golden rule is I get in a game with 3+ instalocks I will lock whatever I feel like playing and not what they want. Not my problem if we dont have a smoke they shouldve thought of that before deciding to instalock.

Beta mentality honestly
I just accept that we are taking an L this game and move on to troll and have fun.

Better then waiting and then picking smh ur team doesn't need bozo

Yo we are soulmates no? I used to play a shitton of initiators now controller only.

Ranked fukcing sucks tho, teammates always be complaining about everything when you misplace your smoke by 2 centimeters 😹💀

Such a Chad

i find that its better to always just fill cause its better to bite it and lock to win the game rather than lock a third duelist or no smokes which helps no one on the team cause at least if u fill smokes ur chances of winning r higher

Atleast your instalockers talk in game. It’s always a ghost town in my lobby. Sometimes I wonder if the people i’m playing with are real person

Tbh id rather have 3 duelist that vibes and comms than an instalock and a controller fill that doesnt know how to play and in general a toxic lobby lol

Honestly nothing wrong with asking if they are not forcing it, doesn't matter if they are a instalock or no

you're right but sometimes it feels like they are forcing you. and if you dont listen to them they'll blame you for the entire game
