As a VALORANT player, it’s not uncommon to encounter instalocking Jett or Reyna, but an instalocking Sage is a rare sight. However, one Ascendant player on Reddit decided to master Sage for their high Elo games. Tired of encountering “throwing sages” and “pocket sages,” they took matters into their own hands and began instalocking Sage to prevent others from wasting her potential.
The player, u/Eastern_Badger_3357, shared their experience on Reddit, stating that they mastered Sage’s abilities and now instalock her in every match. Their goal is to stop people from pocket healing and ensure Sage is used effectively. This decision even managed to trigger a couple of players in one of their VALORANT matches, which was seen as a victory by many.
While romance in video games isn’t inherently wrong, many players have complained about the presence of “cringe e-couples” in VALORANT. Eastern_Badger_3357’s actions have inspired others who have faced similar situations.
The post sparked a debate about Sage’s viability in Ascendant and high Elo games. While there may be better sentinels like Killjoy and Cypher who offer more value with their utilities and intel, it’s important to remember that the player’s skill and knowledge of an agent play a significant role in their effectiveness.
Ultimately, knowing an agent well is crucial for success. Sage can be a great pick from Iron to Radiant ranks if played to her strengths. It’s time to stop using her solely as a pocket healer for e-dating fantasies and give her the recognition she deserves.
