Stop feeling obligated to fill/flex agents

I just did a VOD review for somebody who was complaining about being hardstuck and plays the following 3 agents: KAY/O, Raze, and Neon. Two problems with this:

  1. KAY/O is completely different from Raze and Neon
  2. His KAY/O WR% was <40%, his duelist WR% was 65% (he played KO:Raze:Neon in a 2:1:1 ratio for games)
  • This balanced out his WR% to be 52.3%

Please, guys, don't feel obligated to flex/fill agents. And please don't play agents outside of your main role!

Playing half your games on a pop flash agent and half your games on a movement-based hard entry massively hinders your improvement because you are actively learning how to play two roles!!

This guy is Plat 3 right now, peak Diamond 2 two acts ago. I guarantee if he stuck to only Raze/Neon, he'd be D2-A1. Please, stick to one role utility-wise.
