Instalockers are abusing a system that rewards them

Everybody knows the Jett/Reyna instalocker that never entries and always tries to flank. They always instalock their agent, expect someone else to pick Sage to support them and get mad if nobody picks her.

Instalockers abuse people’s willingness to have a good team comp to play whatever they want while the rest of the players might play an agent they don’t want to. And it’s ok to play an agent you would rather not play, but this should apply to everybody. Instalockers always play the agents they want while the rest of the people have to fill or else the team comp is bad and most likely results in a loss. This results in a group of players that always play what they want and a group of players that never play what they want instead of being 50/50 for everyone.

It’s like we play for their pleasure. And then they ask someone to play Sage/smokes. If you want so badly a Sage/smokes in your team comp, why don’t you play it yourself instead of instalocking??

Thank you for coming to my TED rant.
