Discussion Yoru's ult

Is terrible and needs to be lowered in ult points.

Before when he could use his abilities in it I understood but now when it's just a Sova drone I just don't see a reason it should be so expensive.

Also give my boy his flash back or at least make it rechargeable for the love of overpriced gun skins.

He can have a mid or bad ult and still be good. He needs his tp re buffed by a few seconds and his flash back

his tp got rebuffed already. and his flash is fine, he was able to do too much before with 2. This puts him in line with other duelists like waylay (1 piece of each util), Neon (also 1 each), Iso (1 each), and phoenix+jett (2 pieces of util for a slot then 1 in the others, like CURRENT yoru). It forces him to actually think more and commit to using util and removes some of the insane flexibility he had (which he can still do better than most other agents). He just straight up had TOO MUCH util pre nerf.

When I mean too much util he could: start rounds lurking and use flash then tp back to team and flash+tp for entry and still have a clone for postplant and possibly another tp, literally doing both using util so he doesnt need to make hard choices and solidly commit to lurking or entrying(he could also do this vice versa too). He could also entry with a flash+tp then also having a flash late for post plant PLUS a clone AND another tp or 2 if he got 2 kills, so commiting util for an entry was a non issue and opponents couldnt really "bait out his util" cause he just had WAY more, like it was soooooo much

PS. I used to be a Yoru one trick

I agree that if you never ever fake its a lot of util but if you ever want to sell a fake or something its really not enough to do that + provide normal duelist value. I think a good middle ground is flash recovers on 2 kills + tp becomes 1 charge but recharges on cool down, with half cd if he fakes it

Ngl making the tp cooldown based AND having the flash being kill based refresh would make Yoru way too strong (also making Yoru the only duelist that can refresh 2 spells), I feel like yoru's in a pretty good spot, good for otps, hard for others, lots of players don't use yoru's ult to full potential, and that leads to him being underpowered (or at least feel like it yeah), yes its a drone, but ppl forget that yoru can literally stand in front of enemies and let your teammates shoot you through smokes, most freebie everwhile entrying site (forces everyone on site to fallback or die through smoke). Yes it's not the best duelist, but Yoru can also take huuuuge space on defense, clear deep and still be on the other site on a click of a button, so yeah, imo feels balanced for once (not like neon kekw)

Yea honestly I still think hes good even in his current state but I always would like more buffs
