why do people push the narrative that he's a dogshit agent? his kit can be useful in pro play, the team just needs to be able to play around it and help it work, which is exactly what navi is doing right now. just because you can't do ratty shit like you can in ranked doesn't mean that he can't be a viable agent. it feels like people hate on the agent because of their own ranked experiences from yoru players that throw their match.

jett and raze are versatile and can adapt to almost any situation/team comp
yoru cant just fly around like jett and raze he requires a lot of setup and strats and much more help from teammates util than jett/raze do
so yoru works when u play off those strats and preset plays but as soon as u played him once or twice and the vods are out teams know the few things ur setting him up to do and it gets countered easil
hes by no means a bad agent for pro play hes just a niche pick cuz hes not versatile and loses his value the more u pick him
this is the first fair criticism i've seen tbh, congrats
however, there's a lot of ways to get your tps on high places to get around the verticality issue, but again people don't want to put in the time
i want one team to make yoru viable without W keying like prx does, i guarantee his pickrate would be at least 5% if a team puts in the time to
its hard to justify the time to make ur yoru comp that is good for 3 matches vs playing a meta comp that u can use for months until the meta changes im assuming thats why teams arent willing to put in the time
theres certainly ways to make yoru tps get some verticality and there are lots of creative things u can do with him but he still will never be as versatile as a jett or raze pick
i agree with everything u said tho and i congratulate u too for being one of the few vlr users that said something that makes sense
one of the shitter tier 9 teams i played on used to run yoru raze breach fade brimstone on bind and more recently has tried yoru raze breach gekko harbor for the same map
its a lot different on a team of imm2-3 players than it is on a pro team but we ran into the same issue of its predictability once u know how they plan to use the yoru
the comps worked well against teams who didnt know how to adapt
but if a team did know how to adapt they eventually hard counter the yoru
i believe any agent can be countered if they're doing the same shit every round, but yoru can fake tp which means its impossible to know where he actually is if you manage to hide the fake tp. i can't remember seeing a pro team fake tp inside a smoke for misinformation, yet that's something i do with a duo daily. like i said, its a matter of effort and dedication and people would rather do meta comps. i just want to see a pro team put a stratbook together to make him viable, but the issue is that nobody wants to be the first to put in that effort in case there's no payoff.
just an unfortunate situation for the agent, because he's the reason i'm at the rank i'm at and i know his potential. i understand your pov though, it is easy to get predictable with him if you're doing the same flash tp every single round
that's a hot take, yoru helped me climb out of plat and diamond and almost ascendant after i put in the effort to learn him
blame the player, not the agent
i myself get upset when someone locks yoru on my team cause the players tend to be bad, but that doesn't make yoru a bad agent, just means he has a higher skill ceiling
