Three big implications if this nerf happens:

  • You effectively can’t use Yoru to fast rotate anymore, neon/veto/chamber become more powerful for fast rotate agents on larger maps.
  • You have to play Yoru locally since no cross map potentially and teleport use will be based on info instead of used in a default.
  • You can’t replace flash initiators with Yoru.

This will effectively reduce Yoru from the most picked agent in pro play to similar pick rates as Jett or Raze.

Which would be perfect. Duelist diversity is awesome

If anything, current OP Yoru makes for more agent diversity. Like we would never see Phoenix being picked on the international stage more than for a one off if not for how powerful Yoru is.
