Right now the meta is leaning strongly towards initiators, with how strong all 4 of them are tbh. What do you think will be the next meta, and does skye/kayo/sova/breach need nerfs?

All of them look ridiculous. I said a while back that all the initiators look broken af. (Like even before I created that thread about the Initiator meta). But I didn't believe that you could have so many on the same team.
But Skye looks too good. It's strong on practically every map and has so much of everything. I honestly think most teams will replace their sova with a skye(Make them learn Skye at least on a few maps) in Masters Berlin. That's how confident I am that Skye will be the predominant force on most maps.
Breach is not talked about enough. He has so much more consistent value now so we should definitely see him more often on maps like Split, Bind, Ascent maybe. But I think he'll probably just be mostly played on Split with Skye. The amount of Util you have with just those two characters on that map. Is enough to carry a whole team like 2v5 lmao.
Kay/o looks a little weak. I think we just haven't found his spot but I think it'll be relatively similar with Breach. But he just doesn't have the util dump thing so he'd be closer to sova but he just doesn't have as precise intel. I think he'll probably be used to counter aggressive teams or be just used on certain maps to just force even more of a Util dump. Or he'll just be used on some maps like Breach.
And well sova is sova. He's hawt. Who wouldn't pick him.
True. Sova will never be replaced in Skye as the single initiator. With many teams adopting to a double/triple initiator setup, Skye and Kay/o are on the rise. Breach is shining in regions like KR, JP, and SEA and a little bit in EU. Skye has a high pick rate but in no way she will be preferred over Sova excepting Split and sometimes Bind.
Skye and Kay/o, although not classified duelists, can be played as pseudo duelists basically. Like Skye is just a superior version of phoenix in all ways and Kay/o has a decent flash but still not totally in meta right now.
I don't think they need nerfs since nerfing them in any way right now would kinda de-power them out of play. Skye might need a slight nerf though since she is a top 4 agent at the moment and is just such a good agent.
