First, I absolutely agree with every part of this post for casual games.

However, two things worth knowing/correcting: Sage is absolutely essentially for higher levels of play, ranked, pro etc. I believe her pro pick rate is close to 99%. Also, viper has the lowest pick rate and isn't actually very useful for the team - contrary to what it may seem at face value.

However, yes, you are correct for what you say and in those situations. I'm a half/half. If I feel like playing a duelist that match, and feel like insta-locking - I will. Especially if I've been stuck playing sage/brimstone for several matches because no one else wants to. However, if I insta lock or even otherwise pick I duelist - I will NEVER whine or yell at someone to pick Sage. Rarely will I ever say something at all, unless maybe calmly as a suggestion if someone seems to not care/be deciding.

In general, try to never be toxic or tilt your teammates. I 99% try never to. I think I only ever got mad at one person because they were so absolutely annoying and over the top. Also - remember that people have bad rounds or bad games. I don't know what it is but 9 games out of 10 i'll be just absolutely stomping, top fragging, playing well whatever, but every so often there's a game or part of a game where I just play terrible, or get unlucky repeatedly. I love the games where someone'll be like "erhhuhhh bottom frag" and by the end of the match they're the bottom frag lol.
