Hey Grok how do we ruin our game? Oh add a dipshit broken agent and change the core identity of utility while not fixing a single map. I cannot wait for the fallout from this, please god let there be mass lay-offs, we need some new ideas for this game. Genuinely thanks for the first couple years I guess and wow we finally got the replay system, but it is time for these geriatric poo brain devs to be put out to pasture.

are you silver? the new guy is not even close to broken
you can hear his anti util thing biting at your ears very loudly
his trip works like most sentinel trips
and his tps are worse than chambers in terms of aggression because you have to look at them manually to tp, they're better for rotating than they are to take fights
he is broken in the way he changes defaults and how you address the site, sure his util is new and maybe there is counter play but he is "game breaking" by that definition of changing the standard on any map he is in. It is like when they first added Tejo, but worse IMO cause this agent is Anti-push/anti fun and at least Tejo was used to initiate. The main problem is the util but the agent aint good either
not really
in a default lets say you play against a cypher or kj or vyse instead
you look for their util and break it/bait it
but now instead you have a loud ass sound telling you EXACTLY where it is and you break it
if you're planning to rush a site within the first 20 seconds as a 5 man thats on you and your teammates
yeah and the counter play to this util vs other senti util is the point you are missing. The vyse wall is really the only near comparison but with Yoru it is easy to bait. It is loud yes but you can put it above the choke point where you cant shoot it. Not to mention his tps and sieze are great abilities themselves with tons of advantages over the other sentis.
the counter play to his util vs other senti util is not that different
you can smoke off areas so you can safely break his new ability (you'll get them back by the time you want to exec)
his seize is similar to the rest of the trips other sentis have, they all have different effects
kj trip/alarm bot vulnerables, cypher trip reveals outline and stuns, chamber trip slows, new guy deafens you and catches you in a chamber sized slow
his tp is a bad mix of omen chamber and yoru (slower than all of them in terms of animation + you HAVE to look at the tp to tp)
Ok yes in a vacuum there is counter play to his abilities but you are missing the point I first laid out. The way he changes defaults before the patch was substantial. Global range sieze alarm bot you can use for lineups... 2 teleports with similar range to Chamber double anchors even though yes not a true untrade-ability mechanic in the open, but that isn't how biyou use it... His E ability and Ult I am willing to wait and see but you cannot tell me a rechargeable ability that deletes other abilities will be fun to interact with, no matter how many counters there are.
bottom line is a patch like this was inevitable bc power creep was undoubtably an issue
the game will guaranteed be in a kinda shit spot with all these changes but im at least somewhat optimistic that it is a step in the right direction and in a couple months everything will be ironed out to a point where its comfortable and the game feels more healthy than it is rn
Idk what to tell you then cause almost every other meta has been worse in recent times. The Tejo/Breach, Neon, and the few weeks of broken Iso were all way more oppressive. Not to mention in ranked you play against Jett/Neon, Reyna, Chamber, Smoker, and one Initiator in damn near every game. None of the duelists aside from Yoru were touched so idk what oppressive util you think you are deleting with this patch.
