anyone else think that VCT or valorant in general is just who can adapt to the meta the quickest will be the best team during that time? Like genuinely they change the meta every few months even throughout the season where it just seems teams who have spent all of this time in learning things about the previous meta is just wasted. Look at SEN they adapted and learned the gekko meta extremely quickly where other teams kind of neglected it and SEN became the best team at madrid because of it. Like they should just chill and let the meta play out and make small adjustments so they don't create a chamber 2.0 but also not making it so the meta shifts every few months and then if they want change the meta in the off/season so people can actually adapt to it.

Yeah its a huge part of it. I also really like it because you don't get the same teams winning all the time. Look at our Shanghai top 4, EG, etc... I like how it shakes it up and everyone gets a chance to show their skills

I think it makes the game more fun no? we get to see different teams battle it out to get to the top while seeing familiar faces like PRX FNC and LOUD who will most of the times make tourneys

Yeah I do think that it makes the game more fun but that being said if you just shove these many changes onto teams then the actually good teams like LOUD and PRX will fall off because they don't spend all of their time on these meta changes and teams that only focus on these meta changes will dominate. Also apparently the duelist changes take action in stage 2 and shanghai ends like a week and half before China and Pacific start so they have no time to adapt to the changes (especially GenG I wouldn't be surprised if they underperform).

PRX was never a fan of playing the meta comps
LOUD were usually the ones innovating the meta comps

PRX still had comps that were similar to the meta just changed some characters to match their playstyle and LOUD making comps is true but most of them don't always work (phoenix comps)

phoenix comps didnt work cause of the player playing them. No hate to QCK but he did kinda underperform a lot on that team. Phnx comps work amazingly well and PRX are an example of it. Their pearl was amazing and one of my favourite maps to watch PRX play other than fracture.

true I'm just giving an example of comps where LOUD tried to make one and failed and because of it didn't have enough time to adapt to the newer meta and other teams dominated them.

yea but LOUD also were one of the first teams to run the viper harbor on haven and ascent and it worked out pretty well and most team tried to copy it only to fail.

LOUD are the ones that innovate and PRX just play off meta comps anyways.
