Do y'all think he needs a nerf or is he balanced and is healthy in the current competitive scene?

He's a really hard agent to nerf. Maybe a slightly shorter tp length I'm not sure.
i do want jett players to return actually, yoru is too much of an initiator hybrid to be the main duelist, doesnt help the utility overload allegations valorant has
If they give her right click back this would be more than good enough. This would not increase her pick rate massively
no
the agent has been considered mid for 2 years
riot nerfing it would be worse than the last jett nerf or viper nerf
Nah. Yoru's fine. Only reason Yoru gets picked now is cuz of all the nerfs to the other agents.
How about we dont nerf it and maybe buff other agents like reyna and phoenix???
Nah just buff Jett and Reyna. Reyna with a rework to some of her abilities could be pretty good.
just buff other duelist yoru is just the best option right now doesnt mean hes op
Yoru is fine… people finally realised how strong he was and with tejo teams realised they could drop breach and get another duelist or whatever and yoru can initiate with his flashes
yoru is only balanced for now because his full power hasnt been widely utilized by pros. his strength isnt in his numbers, but in his high skill ceiling and how he capitalise on team coordination as team gets more used to playing with yoru
this is exactly like the easyhoon (substituted faker btw) azir era in league. for a long time, a champion like azir was considered fine because only a handful of players at the top could truly master him. but once he became a staple pick, he was so dominant that riot had to nerf him despite his difficulty.
if yoru follows that path and becomes a must pick for more teams, riot will for sure have to balance him for the competitive scene
Nope he is slightly over tuned and that is ok some agents need to better at the pro level like viper recon duo 3-4 duelist picks omen cause otherwise it would be super boring all of these agents being strong at the pro level is super healthy and encourages a fun varied style all of these agents encourage comp variety and play style variety omen,yoru are prime examples of that they can entry lurk in fun ways that aren't oppressive to play against
any changes to both of them need to be minor or a indirect buff to there counter parts like for example omen has the best smoke in the game so we make it the slowest one to pop so brim,clove,astra are noticeably faster at smoking giving them slight help when compared to omen's aggro domination
for yoru slight number changes are fine he isn't that broken or oppressive
flash inti's need a buff they NEED to have superior flashes to yoru's not a side grade like it is right now or general utility buffs so they aren't fully out classed by yoru's multiple play styles so teams who wanna run them have merit and aren't giga throwing
TLDR; some agents being strong and superior to others is healthy for comp no one wants clove to be the meta smokes agent for a reason boring val community needs to stop creating problems that don't exist
Bring back early-2024 raze, give Jett her second updraft back (keep the smokes short), and buff Waylay again
i can't believe I AM saying this but raze is fine maybe a slight buff to boombot or sumn make it do guaranteed chip dmg even if it breaks or something like a small amount 10-20 making jett the best vertical duelist in the game is good tho
Easy fix would be to buff other duelists especially waylay, there are 2 ways I would want them to buff waylay.
I) Make lightspeed the rechargeable util instead of refract along with giving her 2 refracts to counter 2 yoru gatecrash.
OR
II) Give her 2 refracts with the same duration as yoru gatecrash.
Shorten tp time length
Also make Yoru flash easier to dodge than regular flash init
