This is about my experiences playing in D3/Immortal lobbies. At least half the games in which a duelist is locked in, I have to be prepared to experience them baiting or lurking for the majority of the round (whilst I'm playing Sage, KJ or Cypher). As a CS player this is probably one of the most frustrating things about Valorant, sure it happens in CS but in Valorant this effect is magnified due to the presence of agents and roles.

Most of the typical comments I've seen in this subreddit is that they are typically new players - don't understand the fundamentals of trading etc, more communication is needed. And I still agree, I won't expect it from anyone plat or lower. However once you begin reaching the upper skill levels, I really shouldn't be seeing duelists lurking or baiting their support players.

Is this issue the result of ego - thinking they're better than everyone else and so if they die the round will be lost? Or does the fault lie with the ranking system allowing players to be carried to where they shouldn't be - would a rank shift similar to that of CSGO in 2016 help?

For those duelists who play like this reading this post - please work with your team and be the entry you're supposed to be <3 we all care about rr and improving and baiting will not help you out in that regard apart from boosting your stats.
