Flash Initiators

Yoru basically kicked them out of the meta, we know riot loves to "balance" the usage of agents. Does Yoru get another nerf and becomes unused again? That what I predict will happen, probably only 1 tp and a 2 kill recharge like normal. Ult cost 9

You're right but this post has no humor or ragebait or stats so it'll get like 5 replies.

You are 100% right tho

I mean, the easy solution is to buff info on the flash initiators just a bit to make it a "whatever's more comfortable for that player" pick. Bring back two skye flashes (or at least make it rechargable), reduce kayo knife charge by a bit and make it so that knife also reveals as well as supresses but has a longer activation time, make gekko have two flashes, and breach is kinda in a metaish spot rn anyway.

It's not even that Yoru is in a broken spot it's just that people realized how much better he is than other initiators right now, all they need to do is buff the initiators and they will come back into the meta easily.

I agree, yoru falls along the same lines as omen. Not broken but more practical than other agents. The only reason why I think a yoru nerf will happen is bc I don't see how they can buff the flash initiators like they won't revert skye. Breach is forever meh. Kayo is in a good state along with gekko

Why use other flash initiators when the best flash initiator omen exist? He can even be used like a duelist or controller obviously a truly balanced agent

I hate when people say he doesn't need a nerf like he isn't that most versatile agent in the game with literally no downsides

IMO the issue with omen is that the fundamentals of the agent is what makes it strong. I can’t think of a nerf that takes him out of the meta without destroying the agent. Decreasing the distance traveled or duration of the flash, doesn’t do much bc it’ll stop a full exec regardless just due to how the flash is. Every controller has a unique smoke mechanic so they won’t change that. They’re more likely to just buff the other smokes

They could make it less reactionary, but the real issue with it is that there is no downside to the rest of his kit. His smokes are still the strongest because they have the fastest refresh time. I'd almost like to see his smoke regen set to 40 seconds and/or his range reduced.

They have to buff skye to have 3 flashes. Two normal, and one recharges every round.
