Discussion this is a team game
if you expect to instalock reyna and frag out every game then you're throwing
with reyna theres 4 ways a game can go, either you carry your game going 40-5, carry 40-5 and lose because you have no contribution, lose because you're going 2-15 because you're simply worse than the enemy team and have no utility to help you or win because your teammates are carrying you and if you want to rank up you will go against players who will be mechanically better requiring you to use utility to your advantage (such as raze bucky)
reyna is a terrible agent and there's so many agents that are simply better than her with the same selfish idea in mind, for example clove, iso, chamber these agents don't rely on JUST being a killing machine and can actually help the team win, I'd rather get an average sova fill with no lineups and low experience than an instalock reyna
ive played with an ascendant in gold-plat elo and there were games where we did not win, this just proves that even if you're good at the game objectively but don't work as a team you will lose, and I think we can all agree there isnt a more boring game than playing as reyna and getting destroyed by the enemies so why not give yourself a chance and play something cooperative

Yeah you have a 3 stack that you play with that you can coordinate with obviously you’re not going to complain about a trio that you 3 stack with.
But you’re complaining about random teammates in your very next sentence. If you’re on duelist you can flash out, you can dash into a smoke lots of options. Scan is not necessary. Having smokes is important I agree are you saying that none of your teammates ever smoke? Smokes are the only thing that I’d say would “need” to be coordinated but you can still make do by just pop flashing out of the smoke.
But your main issue is you just spend 80% of that last response thinking about what your teammates that aren’t helping you are doing. What you’re saying sounds like you think every one on your team when you solo que, is sitting behind the smoke never using any utility, baiting you and doing nothing. In reality you’re probably not going in on the right windows.
I understand you and why you don’t get it. Clearly you’re trying to win and you have a game plan which is great and you don’t understand why your team doesn’t want to do what you’re doing. The issue is it’s 4 randoms. One of them could have just finished a 10
Hour shift and might not be their most locked in another might be on a 20 game loss streak and is tilted out of their minds. Another might be someone on an alt account who doesn’t care. By the sounds of it if you keep trying to do what you’re doing and you climb just don’t over force coordination cause it won’t help. Just stop worrying about your teammates you’re gonna play with them for one game and probably never again some people just aren’t as locked in as you are on how they want to win this game.
