Riot dev team is terrible

I have waited for months now for a substantial patch change. We have had omen being the only used controller on most maps for ages now, neon's been still working well, sentinels are still mid and only serve a niche, and dont get me started on breach or mikz

Feels like the riot dev team that used to shake things up and kept the game fresh back in 2021/2/3 is just gone now. What happened to the constant changes to finetune certain abilities, or when characters fell out of meta they'd get a buff in a patch or two until their usability went upwards to a healthy level? Idk why, maybe im just forgetting or being blind to it, but it feels like the dev team is so fucking scared to make any level of change in their game. Like bro, you had tejo reign for a masters and an entire split before you did anything, and neon's been and still is meta asf, please buff other duelists like raze or buff sentinels that are unused. It is crazy to me that they just refuse to make light changes to agents that are obviously not in a healthy position and then just throw shit at the wall every so often before a masters or before vct season starts to make everyone hate the new state of the game.

Idk, just feels so weak comparing them to league's dev team, where every champ is actively getting tuned and looked at based on their pick rate win rate usage rate, in pro and casual, etc. i'm just annoyed we get no real changes to agents that have done anything to shift the style of valorant being played since before the start of the year

the famous dev team that famously shook things up in 2022

theyre working on a new game. Valorant 2, coming soon

omen isn't the only used controller, astra is played a lot too and i would say they are very close in viability, it's just that right now with the double duelist meta it's better to have a paranoia than astra's slower util. the dev team has also always been like this and most things stay meta for ages. i also dont think raze needs a buff and if you check london's pick rate numbers most agents are in a pretty healthy spot. other than the obvious agents (clove, reyna and maybe iso), it's just gekko miks and veto that really need significant changes. breach could probably do with a buff or two or a rework of his flash, and lower pick rate agents could just do with some buffs but the agent balance is pretty good right now. almost every duelist is viable at a pro level (except reyna and iso) and most pick rates are at a good place in my opinion.

I forgot his name but there was a dev who was liked very much amongst the community, when he left in 2022 or 2023 everything started going down hill

LMK if you know any context, I would love to search about this dev

I think when they began they obviously had all those brilliant ideas pre planned before hand but now they they have to think Abt new ideas on a regular basis which makes it so much harder but I am ngl the miks is interesting with its stun and heal thing but the boostup is kinda ass and don't get me started on how shit that ult is like even in lower ranks it's so bad it literally does jackshit for being an 8 orb ult i think? Like genuinely the beach ult is better in comparison to it like a 100times which says a lot abt it. Also can we pls have some creative ideas on smokes and not just fuckass iPads

real bro i feel like a group of 11 people (one from each rank and two vct pros) could balance the game better than the current devs

I still don't know how they managed to take the most balanced class in the game to the least in like, 2 patches. And then thought reverting Skye nerf was the fix???

Bump cuz Im a Rito 11.08 hater and find their management after champs as shitty
