"Initiator go plant the bomb bro"

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

had someone tell me "sova go plant" when our win condition for the round was sova ult

I bet you are that lurker duelist who don't care about the win and only cares about k/d.

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

Solid bait 7/8

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.

I’m a sova main and I always plant

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)

I mean there are many reasons why initiator holds the spike like

1. They often have the most important and impactful ults which your team wants so they can win more rounds
2. They are almost always the least likely to die early
3. They often have the most util for post plant so they need to know where the spike is
4. You don't want it on Senti since they lurk and flank so often or else it will be stranded if they get caught on a lurk, only one who can plant spike is sage because the wall protects the plant and res is a cheap and good ult.
5. You don't want it on duelist because they are usually focused on entrying and creating space which often requires them to push back site which would strand the spike in enemy territory if they died
6. As for controller most of them have a lot of stuff to do while the spike is being planted or they are lurking which often leaves them out apart from brimstone who is often the one holding spike on the maps he's played on.

There are exceptions like trying to get KJ or viper ult more often, but even still initiator usually holds the spike.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

I plant as a duelist.
So if I die the bomb goes to the enemy.
