this is some vlr emea challengers stats so IDK how accurate this is but:
The best T2 controllers rn are Proxh, Fizzy, Burzzy, sh1n, Sevire, Jesse, pyrolll. Those aren't names that inspire that much confidence.
in 2025 stage 1, profek had 1.09 rating, 2nd highest to sociablee. In stage 2 he had 1.04, highest on his team.
Last time Proxh was in stage one he had a 0.85 (even though it was on a bad m8s team, he was last).

You could make an argument for someone like Shao or Sayf but even then I would much rather have profek. I don't know how you expect to pick up a firepower upgrade anyway when you have lots of fraggers on your team.

it's def not the best and they probs need strategy changes or whatever but i dont think replacing any of the players is the issue. On paper you're not going to get an upgrade at any position

they've really leaned off brawk on fade, before they had brawk on Fade on Bind only but they would rather him on Brim than Fade.

Yeah I like the philosophy behind your ideas a lot. Something that Riot doesn't really emphasize it feels like.
Pretty fair points. Maybe I'm looking from my low elo perspective, KJ and cypher are already pretty annoying to play against, the nerfs didnt do that much to us silvers.

The problem with double senti is that, like on ascent for example, you're just gonna gun for 3-4 rounds on attack and then win on defense. iirc that was a problem in 2025. You have to bait out the Vyse wall and then deal with additional thorns, sage/deadlock util, omen util, etc.

I can't lie, sentinels need a buff but I'm not sure making them too powerful is the move. KJ alarmbot also giving slow would be pretty broken. Especially in ranked, probably a bit moreso than pro play.
Cypher and Vyse changes seem fine, Vyse is gonna get picked a lot it seems as a Neon counter anyway but I really would like her to have the flash info back.
The Sage buffs seem pretty big.
Deadlock rework seems interesting. I don't hate it at all.
For Chamber you're making his trip kind of like Veto's? I think his kit is honestly fine as is, and if you're going to buff his range I don't think he needs to much more.
I don't hate the Veto TP change, the fuel interceptor thing is very interesting. What if it gets broken? I think his trip is fine honestly, and he's one of the more picked sentinels rn, so I don't think he needs too much changing.

Overall, I think you're looking at this from a pro play POV too much. Sage is gonna picked so much in ranked if this happens. And in general, I don't like the zero sentinel meta but I'd rather have it than a double sentinel meta if you know what I mean.

Split. NRG 14-13 TL, they're on attack.
Pansy: Folks, it comes down to this. NRG, with a chance to take their second Champs trophy. This would be historical, a measure of the greatness of all of these players.
Hypoc: These players have dealt with the pressure, the nerves before. But so have Liquid.
Pansy: They would be the first team since Fnatic to win back-to-back internationals.
pause
Hypoc: They're grouped up for an A hit. wayne and nAts are the only ones on this site. Could this be it...
Round starts
Pansy: nAts with 30 kills already, looking for a chance at that elusive trophy...
Hypoc: The spray through the Viper orb!
Pansy: mada is down! The space maker, NRG's star, gunned through the other side of the smoke by nAts's phantom!
Hypoc: NRG, though, get ramp control, but they're going to run into wayne... WAYNE!
Pansy: HERE HE IS!
Hypoc: OH MY DAYS!
Pansy: Two from that off-angle! Traded out by Ethan, it's just him and skuba, who's miles away.
Hypoc: And it looks like another round of overtime may just be on the cards. Another chance for Liquid to push it again.
pause
Pansy: kamo...
Hypoc: He's getting antsy, pushing out like this. Does he anticipate skuba's position?...
Pansy: Apparently not! It's now a three v two...
Hypoc: Surely not...
Pansy: Ethan has the spike, though, and skuba's on the other side. This A position, very precarious... and Liquid are grouping up. purp0 and MiniBoo, holding hands, like impostors, walking through the vents...
Hypoc: But Ethan's found the timing! He's in their spawn!
Pansy: None of Liquid the wiser... In a round like this... Ethan, the IGL, the mastermind, rejoins skuba on a free B site.
Hypoc: He's being careful... the time...
Pansy: That was close.
spike planted
Pansy: The positioning from Ethan and skuba will be paramount. Will they check this mid position from skuba?
Hypoc: He's so deep, incredibly deep... (chuckle from Pansy). It's such a hard angle to clear.
Pansy: purp0 and MiniBoo, backtracking through vents... oh my god.
Hypoc: skuba is unseen!
Pansy: The timing is important now. So crucial...
Hypoc: Here's the fight at B main.
Pansy: Ethan jiggles, spots nAts, ducks back...
Hypoc: nAts is so low! But the pack is here now. Ethan's gonna prep the Blinding Light, but the three people on the other side
Pansy: The seize! But Ethan... WHAT?
Hypoc: 5 HP but finds nAts!
Pansy: Now it's all onto skuba... in this heaven position, finally going to make his presence shown...
Hypoc: MiniBoo is sticking!
Pansy: purp0 to hold... skuba... THE FLICK... THE TRANSFER!
Hypoc: I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!
Pansy: DIVE DEEP AND SURFACE VICTORIOUS! SKUBA WINS THE ROUND, AND NRG ARE YOUR TWO TIME VALORANT WORLDDDD CHAMPIONS!

Abyss and Corrode out for Lotus and Fracture.

TL;DR: Neon, Fade, Brim, Raze could go up; Omen, Sova, Astra, Waylay could go down.

Looking at Masters, the highest-picked agents were Viper, Omen, Sova, Neon, Astra, Fade, and Waylay. (not counting Yoru here cause his nerf is going to change things anyway)

Viper's pick rate will probably not change too much. Corrode was a good map for her but Lotus is also. I don't see the changes making a big deal.
Omen might go down a little, like Viper, Corrode for Lotus is not much of a difference, but he had 72% pick rate on Abyss and Fracture traditionally is not an Omen map.
Sova will for sure go down, he sucks on Lotus and Fracture (unless EG comes back), and he was close to 100% on Abyss.
Neon will see a big boost, Corrode and Abyss were two of her worse maps and I think Lotus and Fracture are two of her better ones.
Astra had Abyss as one of her best maps, I don't see many teams playing her on the new maps except for maybe Boaster.
Fade was strong on Corrode and not picked at all on Abyss. Lotus was one of her best maps and Fracture should be strong too in this meta, so I could see her pick rate increasing.
Waylay is the question mark. Abyss and Corrode were her two best maps easily, so it comes down to whether she gets picked on the new ones, but I could see her picked less.

This of course doesn't take into account other factors, like the Skye buff and Yoru nerf that could see Waylay and Neon, for example, rise anyway, and potentially Fade/Sova seeing less play.

Some other agents: Brim will rise for sure, Raze might as well, potentially Vyse too? We've seen teams run her in this meta and Fracture/Lotus were two of her better maps.
