Breach or Kayo which initiator do you prefer on your team, perhaps both?

I have been loving the Breach changes, but it's been frustrating in ranked because my team doesn't seem to understand how different Breach is now with his faultline, when I use Faultline now it's to legit stun, swing and attack because my stun rate has skyrocketed to maybe 85+% no exaggerating. If I see you on the map you're good as stunned, its just too fast now. So while Breach may be better than ever imo, it doesn't seem to work as I would have hoped, perhaps you need to pair up with a deulist and work that way.

Kayo has also been really good, he's very good at stalling pushes, I love how he forces true gun fights, he doesn't do anything to stop smokes, but he can stop everything else in live combat situations. He's just been a really good initiatior.

The question is should they both be used together? Kayo's CSGO like flash gives him a lot of versatility, you could reasonably run him as a duelist, so with his release and the Breach buff running them together makes a lot of sense with their abilities to create space and take angles. One reason I think this pairs well together is you need Kayo to peek an angle for info so Breach can stun, I think this is the main effect that Faultline has on Breach, with info it's a guaranteed stun, you can guess where people are or go off sound, but if you use the map and stun the instant you see someone on it it's going to land and you have 3.5 seconds to rush that angle and kill them which is a long time, if you combined that with a silence after stun you're in business. Breach can function as the old style initiator, but I think he should initiate after the stun. That's how I would do it anyways.

What are your thoughts who do you prefer on your team right now?
