The state of pro play NEEDS to change

Since the TenZ patch, we have seen the game abandon the tactical and ability based approach it used to have, in favour of team fighting and raw aim duels. This isn't exactly a bad thing, but it minimizes the IQ part of the game that made Valorant unique. Its also why no team can form a dynasty; things like tactics, large scale coordination, and ability usage are way more consistent than raw aim duels and team fighting, because if your players simply aren't feeling it that day, you immediately look terrible in the "aim meta" we're currently in. This also heavily effects agent comp variety, as we've seen basically nothing but double duelist ever since the TenZ patch, which basically proves the game has been tactically simplified.

Solutions:
-Re-buff initiators. Initiators are basically the tactical heart and soul of Valorant, they should be strong and impactful, playing double initiator should feel like you have limitless tactical options to play with
-Make duelists less easy to use. I dont think duelists should be "nerfed" I think their kits just need to have higher skill floors.
-Re-buff senti's, if we're buffing initiators, we need to buff senti's to fall in line and balance the game out
-Smoke agents are fine as they are

double initiators should be the default pro comp, not double duelist, double duelist is already the ranked default
people (t0nz) complained about utils is just from tejo, double initiators was fine before

i want a meta where all four doubles are viable on every map and it’s up to the coaches and players what they want to play

The main reason no team can form a dynasty is because the meta is always changing because Riot actually cares about the game. I like that the meta is always changing and I don't think it's something that should change.

The meta changing is always a good thing, but we've seen now 2 years of double duelist meta whether it was Raze/Yoru or Neon/Phoenix. The double initiator would be a nice return since Breach is basically dead and KAYO has been outfavoured for two years. Skye, Fade and Sova will always stick around and Tejo has a niche spot that works given how easily he can become overpowered. There will probably be nerfs to Neon and Phoenix if LEV continue to dominate throughout Champs
