Who tf come up with this idea to begin with tho? why is it an unwritten rule but makes no sense if you think about it. CS2 anybody could plant at any rounds. We should stop enforce this in the ranked its getting annoying.
Spike shouldn't be Initiator's responsibility, period.
you just expose yourself as a dumbass every single time you post a take about this game
I bet you are that lurker duelist who don't care about the win and only cares about k/d.
had someone tell me "sova go plant" when our win condition for the round was sova ult
I would just let the spike sit on the floor until someone pick it up to plant or we all lose.
i eventually jus had to go plant, i died right after planting (cus no one even covered) they played 4v4 stingers vs vandals without the sova ult
they lost
smh
planting = ult point
Initiators have the strongest ults
Initiators play with the pack
Initiators aren’t first in
Initiators don’t lurk
Do you understand why initiators plant now? Btw I’m saying this as a sova main
Smoke literally the same as Ini then?
Strong ult
Aren't first in
entry almost at the same time as Ini
But people still trying to make it ini responsibility.
Most smokes agents don’t have ults nearly as strong as initiator ults. If the initiator already has ult it’s common to see the bomb he dropped to the smokes though
omen = worst ult in the game
clove = entry controller
viper = lurking
astra = lurking
every other controller is irrelevant
Everybody who agree with this unwritten rule is a main of other roles. Ain't no Initiator main on earth will agree with this.
my pro player best friend sova/fade main always carries bomb but yeah u know way more than they do
I mean the gekko almost always plant, if you are playing a active info senti like cypher on your cam you won't plant but playing as passive info senti you plant, and I always presmoke give blidn and tp in plant and tp out as omen if my teammates too lazy to plant (senti/smokes with a side of sova)
Gekko should be the one who plant with the wingman util i agree. I like your attitude, for my case if ini dont want to plant nobody will pick it up because "its not their responsibility"
I mean there are many reasons why initiator holds the spike like
There are exceptions like trying to get KJ or viper ult more often, but even still initiator usually holds the spike.
Ranked game most of the time just 5 rush, they rarely use strategy. Most of the time lurker aint even Senti, it:s Reyna.
While some of your points I agree, but if we are going to rush 5 it doesn't matter to make ini the one who go plant. People just dont want to plant because they are hungry for kills.
I mean another reason is that initiator often has the least to do when your team is taking/has taken site control since most of their util has been used or is being saved for post plant. Unless you are kill hungry yourself then there isn't really a reason to not take the free ult orb.
as a recon player if someone tells me to plant or gives me bomb i say "i dont plant" and drop the bomb i do this every game
Initiator have the strongest ults in the game so the orb from planting is helpful
It should be either controller or the initiator planting the spike not the senti
whoever closest to ult (strong ults), plants (if possible). Initiator ult is usually priority but if raze, brim, viper or phoenix are close, I'd ask if they can plant instead (I main sova and raze)
Initiators have the some of the strongest ults in the game but if my teammate complains how is the spike still not planted after i drone, dart, shock for them then i'll drop bomb.
