Does anyone else always feel like there are holes in team comp in low elo?

For some backstory, I'm a Sova main with Omen/Astra in my pocket when I need to fill smokes. (I also know some orb/molly lineups and common walls for Viper on Bind, Icebox, and Breeze). The most annoying thing really is that there always feels like there is a hole in the team comp. Often, when filling, I'm forced to choose between smokes and Sova. Even when someone else locks smokes at my request so I can lock Sova, I feel bad about that because the smoker usually does not use his utility very effectively. It's even worse if I lock smokes and ask someone else to lock info, because usually the info locker does not use his utility effectively either. Running a comp without info either feels incredibly uncomfortable, since you basically can see where they are going to execute on round start with an info player (teams hard commit one site at low elo, no one defaults, for example if I scan no one B/Mid icebox then we know it's an A hit), so it's often a really uncomfortable situation of having bad or no smokes or having an info player that constantly flashes you (Skye/Kayo) or doesn't use his util at all just about (Sova).

Honestly, I'd give just about anything for a smoker that has rudimentary info utility.

What do you guys think? Can you relate?
