I have a theory that players who instalock duelist are in a sense boosted by the fact that the matchmaking system gives extra RR to people who have high ACS. What I mean is that if there are 2 people with equal skill levels, and one player instalocks jett while the other player plays smokes, the jett will climb much higher than the guy who picks smokes because it's harder to get a high average combat score when you play smokes, hence why most of the people at the top of the leaderboard are duelist only players. I've noticed that the jett instalocks in my games will usually have terrible aim compared to the rest of the team, probably because they don't really deserve to be in that elo and are just boosted by the fact they play the character with the best combat abilities. Thoughts?
