tier gap

why do i feel that valorant have a huge tier gap between teams, i mean, in cs back in the day in a 16 teams tournament like at least 10 - 12 teams could be a real contender to the trophy, but in valorant feels like 3 : 5 teams are good and the rest is garbage

Because of roles and comps. Usually the teams with the better duelists has a higher win % rate. Valorant needs to balance that shit out somehow.
