How-Because my brain is always cooking up somethinh random
Why- idk my brain gets bored and i like talking about valorant
Why so many posts-Because if i threw everything in 1 post people have short attention spans and forget the next 5 things and answer 1
yes pls, im tired of seeing people calling double duelist when it's 99% 1 duelist + Yoru (i also want to see more other agents like gekko deadlock harbor etc.)
Gekko and harbor still won't be played even after Yoru nerf. Let's move on from those agents
They should halve the active time on the tp so you have to commit to repositioning or staying where you are. It shouldn't just be sitting on the map for 20s until you feel like rotating. That's Veto's niche and he doesn't have flashes or an info ult
Please make a separate post. Like i get you're star farming but like make it relevant
The reason why Yoru's high pick rate is because other flashing heroes are ass. Skye ass, Kay-o ass, phnx ass, reyna flash ass. Some teams are actually picking these ass heroes if they can't play yoru. Yoru flash is also ass if it was used without smoke. The good thing about him is the immortal drone skill. Tp is mid. Chamber waylay and jet got better get put of the card jail card. Clone is op. Bring back the footstep if they want to nerf him.
Jett's dash is not better than a yoru tp even in escape potential.
The tp is really creative, entry, drone across the map, insta escape, fake execute.
The flash is basically a better kayo flash in all but duration
jett dash def better than yoru tp for escaping what??? its so much faster, yoru gets punished so easily if he plays off angle and try to tp away
You realise you have to prime a jett dash
Yoru tp literally lasts 30 seconds on cast
And the duration of a yoru tp is like 0.7s, unless you throw the kitchen sink at that yoru and send in a duelist to kill him, he's getting out 99% of the time
but your point was that yoru is better to escape... which is like the one thing he cant consistently do, his SINGLE weakness is that his tp takes a while to activate. I agree that he is great at REPOSITIONING but purely escaping a one off angle is one of few things hes bad at
Isnt that really good for escape.
Like tell me an instance where you're going to be able to cross to the op line in 0.7s reliably?
Because tbh idk
i mean if a yoru misses an important op shot and then tries to tp out generally the opponent could either kill him or hes moved enough to where hes somewhat safe before even tping anyways. which again makes him great for repositioning but not necessarily escaping. look at all the clips of yorus peeking something and trying to tp out in front of enemies having to like spin and shit to live
I mean jett is about the same. You got to prime her dash then within the window only you have to only if you're in a los of an escape otherwise you hit a wall and die.
Yoru doesnt have the hit wall and die limit.
I dont find a window where yoru's are dying over that past 0.7s. Because cover, is generally very much available in all op spots.
i mean the big difference is that if yoru doesnt preset his tp (which yes it lasts a lot longer) then he has to take out util and do all the animations before holding the angle again whereas jett can stay hardscoped for the entire windup and duration of her dash. good point on the user error tho too. overall im just saying yorus tp definitely feels like more of a repositioning tool then an escape tool, and i think any nerfs they do to him should prioritize making it feel more that way
I mean nerfing him for that role. I fully agree with
Current yoru, he is very comparable to jett in escape potential.
Yoru definitely dies mid TP. Ive done many times in game. Escape route for him isn't like waylay or jett. Yoru mains definitely need to time it better
I mean thats really a skill thing. Bad positioning will kill even a jett cuz they run into a wall
This is the reason why they are picking chamber or jett when they aren't able to use yoru in pro scene. This is a nerf yoru btw. 3 or 4 months ago it was nerf to the ground. Yoru players are changing mains in rank games. Other teams like fnc g2 prx which are strong before pick yoru less. All of their maps before got yoru comp.
You do realise an 81% pickrate (atleast in pacific), plus overall the highest pickrates on every single region... Says something that 'this agent needs nerfs'
Why nerf a weak agent. Buff pther flashing heroes instead and Yoru's pick rate will be balanced. I mean Val doesn't have a good flashing agents aside from him. They don't have a choice since other flashing heroes are shyt. Remember last year where some teams tried geng neon comps? Some teams didn't pick flashing agents since it's all shit. Those teams can't properly use Yoru either.
You do realise that if you just buff flashes teams with run yoru flash agent duelist and whatever else junk they want
Bro Yoru can't solo entry aside from Breeze where it's his map. They are using him as an initiator not duelist. Flashes and drone. Aside from oping, he's not a space taker like Jett, waylay, Raze, Neon. Thats also the same reason why Reyna and Pheonix can't solo duelist in pro games. We are talking pro scene here not your rank games.
Yup. They did. Other user wants to nerf him to get a their main a spotlight I guess.
...
You do realise that if an agent is doing really good that means the nerfs didnt work
Ex:Viper, Chamber in 22
They won't nerf it to the ground. It has lowest pick rates in rank after nerf. Jett Viper and chamber is insufferable in rank and pro scene. Thats why they are nerf to the ground. Thats also the same reason why Reyna getting nerf evn though it isn't picked in pro.
Yup pre nerf yoru. Vyse and yoru got nerf at the same time. After that he got minor nerf again. Using it before doesn't mean they can still use it now. Its also a big reason for it's high pick rate is because top teams who won 1 st place or 2nd placer etc.. in vct champions 2025 uses yoru comps. T1, prx, G2, Fnc. These teams change their yoru comps to non yoru comps in other maps in 2026 because Nrg dominated champs. Im pretty sure they only use yoru on abyss.
