  1. NS: Since Neon wasn't touched, they would still be fine. You may think Francis may get affected but remember, he started as initiator main so switching back to flash initiators doesn't seem to be a problem for him.
  2. PRX: They are not bound to the meta, but I can see something potentially having trouble finding another agent that has the same value as Yoru. Maybe he would play Waylay more, or bring in some wildcards like Gekko as he used to in 2024.
  3. T1: I could see iZu getting affected by this change, but I guess he would switch to sentinel/Viper and let Meteor have more freedom in playing Iso/Reyna kind of.
  4. RRQ: Jemkin might be affected as he's a really good Yoru. Luckily, RRQ have switched him into Chamber, and he can still play Jett/Waylay to the acceptable level, so the nerf might not hurt them much.
  5. DFM: They would be heavily affected due to Yatsuka and Meiy playing a lot of Yoru. Meiy would still be fine, but I don't think Yatsuka would produce the same value without Yoru.
  6. DRX: Since Hermes is main Yoru of the team, he would then spam senti/Viper. The impact of the nerf I guess is not that big.
  7. GE: Frost is a great coach with off-the-meta ideas. I think he can cook something big despite the nerf. Also, no one in the team is prone to Yoru nerfs. So, I think they'll be fine.
  8. FS: Primmie would be heavily affected and might have to switch back to sentinel/flex. The nerf also might bring flash initiators back, but I don't think Primmie would be able to play flash initiators effectively.
  9. Gen.G: ZynX played Yoru almost every single map, and I would doubt if he can play flash initiators or not. Thus, I think Gen.G would be the most heavily affected by the Yoru nerf.
  10. ZETA: I didn't watch ZETA much, but glancing just some of the stats, they would also be affected (especially Absol)
  11. VL: I see Klaus playing a lot of it, so that might affect VL somehow.
  12. TS: kellyS would be heavily impacted, as he is more useful with Yoru rather than Viper/sentinel. But since the team is shitass hell, I don't think the nerf would affect the overall power that much.

What do you think?

Most of the takes are very good but some of mine
Yatsuka was a sentinel demon in t2 japan so dfm will be fine there
Drx will take a very big hit cuz yoru Waylay is there most prominent style and Hermes didnt look comfy on viper
Primmie will do primmie things on any agent
Geng is demolished
Absol will shift to dive duelist and they double dive
Klaus loves chamber so maybe he goes there
KellyS is mainly flash initiator so he will be fine(TS still trash

DRX moved away from double duelist because hermes isn’t as good on yoru as flashback
