Don't switch to a character you don't know how to play just because your team asked.
Currently in platinum and a common theme i'm noticing is people switching to characters / roles they are unfamiliar with just because someone typed "can we get an extra vanguard / strategist".
More often than not, they end up as dead weight and spam all their cooldowns at once while praying for the best. Not only are you halting your own team's progress, but you're also feeding the enemies ultimates.
Sometimes minimal knowledge is needed to be useful, however, don't try a character you have no knowledge of. You will just end up as a burden.
It's okay to say "I don't know how to play __".
That's it.
