I think the best way to do this is with a sequential pick phase and then you can bring in bans when the game is more ready
If you can select agents one by one in turn with your opponent, it will give the option to be more flexible. For example changing your last pick sentinel to counter the duelists your opponent’s have already picked
Equally teams are still allowed to approach the game as they do now (one comp and per map). They are not punished and their strats are as solid as ever, they’re just not rewarded for creativity
This would raise the skill ceiling in pro play in my mind and take the game in good direction for bans down the line
at what point in VALORANT do we entertain agent bans?
to clarify: agents bans =/= draft. i've played in draft tourneys and, while fun, imo it would just make pro play too random
i think 1 agent ban would force just enough agent mastery w/o completely throwing VCT into chaos
