Locks Are Bad Team Players
The majority of the time I find locked players in pubs to be the worst team players ever. Completely crazy right? I mean, they are locked with another teammate.. they should know how to play well with others.. right? Wrong.
There’s a very big misconception when it comes to locked players. Most people assume locked means that the players are good. It is common to see people leave if they get auto-balanced onto the opposite team. The fear of being pub-stomped is apparent and understandable. If I was ABed onto the locked players team I used to think “Ooo! I’m on a team with locked players. They know what they’re doing!” and then I played for a week to only realize that locked players is just making sure that both noobs are on the same team.
What makes me hate playing with locks? Well for starters, not only will these players only communicate among themselves (through vent, ts, or even a different language), but they’ll completely and utterly only back up each other.
Need a stun? I have to save it to save my friend. Need a heal? Wait until my friend gets here. Need any type of push whatsoever? Sorry friend is farming and I can’t leave the base without him. Need any sort of communication? Nope, friend is getting it all from vent. Be psychic noob.
Now I said that was the majority of locked players. You just may find that rare lucky few that either communicate with the team, or they’re pubstomping so well it just doesn’t matter. Good luck finding them. They be a rare breed. :ninja:
For me the chances of winning and enjoying a game rely on being on the opposite team of locked players. What about you?
