I’m a soloQ Plat1 player. I just love people who instalocks Astra. They generally have good decision making, timing, aim etc. (Ofc not all of them but they usually tend to carry the team in my elo)

No, you don't have to defend Earth against radiants, roombas and teleporting ghost's, you just gotta have fun and mess with your abilities. What agent are you picking? Personally, I'll go with Jett or Skye.
