Hot take on new yoru initiator changes

#1

nooomy

They have cooked to perfection. Yoru ult was too versatile and will now be more of an info/teamplay ult and good initiator players were able to use dart 3 times per round sometimes if they used it correctly. I see the changes as an absolute win

heavy agree

worried at all these changes coming at once might lead to some balancing issues/an annoying meta

but definitely a step in the right direction and once everything is ironed out the game will feel a lot better

ngl i think my ability based shooter should let me use abilities idk why people seem so frightened by the idea of it but sure

you can still use 2x any initiator ability if you use them well, most good initiators will use their signature within the first 10s anyway

But it was still fine if not lacking before this patch just appeals to the players that don't think when they play more than anything initiators should be using abilities it's literally the point of the role and info abilities especially make the game infinitely more playable otherwise every map is defense sided and u camp in corners every round this patch just lowers the games skill celling for no reason

the main point of the patch is to reduce the gap between sova/fade and the rest of the initiators imo. Maybe I got baited but im p sure I saw that Skye and Tejo are being buffed so itll be a much better experience without 3x reveals per round (aka one of the most busted abilities in the game)

no it usually takes 2 weeks after a patch is released for it to appear in pro play, even if they released it today it wouldnt be used until the 26th which is the day before finals

ppl overreacting as always

he can still tp across the map in 2 seconds
he still has 3 flashes
he still has a 10 second drone(and according to the patchnotes its only the flash and clone that cant be used in ult anymore, meaning he can still tp away freely)

i think the real issue is the fact that this might mean he will be played with double ini as well, which will be even more util dumping ironically
lol.

just read about the omen nerfs too, if they buff some of the weaker agents (skye, harbor, tejo) then we should have such a sick meta for the start of next year.

Also I think Gekko gets either a massive buff or nerf depending if the increase cooldown applies to him or not

all ini's are going to have rechargeables back so yeah they are getting buffs

not sure about gekko tho cuz his util is weird with the 10s cooldowns for each

thats what I mean, if his util is still 10s recharge then he will be a top 2 ini in the game

if it has a 60s recharge on his abilities he will probably be the worst

they prob make it like 25s cuz thats still a 2.5x of what it is now, but its also way faster than all the other ini's, plus its for all his util
