What are y’all’s thoughts for these changes?
Imo I think it’s what the game needed but they handled it poorly. I think initiators got over nerfed I think instead of 60 seconds it should’ve been like 45-50 seconds. The astra nerf weren’t necessary because she already isn’t picked a lot, during champs she was only good on abyss. The initiator changes were pretty good and I think it’ll be better cause teams will need to now be more wiser. However for ranked I think it’s bad chance, I see initiators being used a lot less so more ranked team comps will only have 1 initiator or probably won’t have one at all. The sentinel nerfs were also too far since it’s just gonna be harder for a sentinel to hold a site since the util will be easier to spot out and bait. I like how vyse is less initiator because now she can’t tell off she bonded someone but I think the ratios need was too far. For duelist the neon sprint nerf was not needed and I think it killed the agent because 60 seconds is just way too long imo. The yoru nerfs were good but not being able to use util in ult was a bit too much. With waylay ult being buffed and raze going unchanged I think her and raze are be to the main duelist next year since they are gonna do a better job than basically all the duelist. I could still see yoru being played but much less.
Honestly, I think these are pretty good changes for vct but as I said they executed it wrong. Every nerf seems overboard and I think the ranked meta is gonna be in a much worse state.
