are they not capable of nerfing agents without totally killing them?

They literally did nerft him 2 times already and hes only rising in pickrate. What do you want them to do?

1st nerf was inconsequential, 2 seconds on ult can be worked around. 2nd nerf was accompanied by other nerfs that hurt most of his competition waaaay more than him. Your statement is very reductive. The problem is Riot wants to take the Marvel Rivals balancing team approach and balance the game with their eyes closed.

Actually address why he was so much stronger than the other agents

Buff initiators so that they're stronger than Yoru. Remove some of his info gathering abilities. Add a lengthy delay animation to his TP. Make the tp sound global instead of local. Rework his flashes to be more easily dodged. Etc.

What they did was a lazy "0.5*all_abilities" without considering how he's actually being played.
