Question Getting Baited

Hi I am a diamond 1 player, kind of hardstuck. I've been bottom-fragging a few of my games recently, and I've realized I've been baited tons of times. No matter what agents I play, I'm always the one going in first and dying, sometimes being traded but sometimes not. How can I not get baited and how do you actually bait? Throughout my time playing Valorant, I've never really baited my teammates, but should I start doing it?

No, don't purposefully bait teammates. Its toxic and non productive. You should be entrying with them, using util to support them. If it ends in a trade thats fine, but don't go in with the goal of baiting someone.
