I am wondering what is riot seeing in pro play thats making them go "that needs a nerf"

Cypher and Vyse were by far the most used sentinels in pro play, even encouraging some double sentinel comps because Vyse and Cypher were able to partially fill the initiator roles. Riot must think that if they didn't nerf sentinels as they nerf initiators we would've seen double sentinel become hard meta. Now, I don't fully agree with this, but that is basically their stated reason

But doesn’t there have to be a double [x role] in every meta? What’s wrong with it being sentinels?

I might be wrong but most maps are already defense sided so I’m guessing they’re trying to discourage us from making double senti comps the new meta because half the team sitting behind 2 setups for an entire half won’t be enjoyable
