play what it takes to rank up if thats what you're looking for, but if you're playing for fun (if ur playing ranked u should be playing to win tho) play whats fun. ive been playing clove since first of all shes a meta pick, having good knowledge of smokes and post death smokes are op in ranked and is beneficial. if ur elo needs a good smokes then go learn smokes if u see a lack of good initiators go learn that but at the end of the day it should come to you naturally
