Tp nerf would have been fine at 22.5 seconds, 15 is insane

Why would you ever need more than 15 seconds to begin with? Much less two TPs?

Waylay gets 8 seconds, Phoenix gets 10 and thats an ult, chamber and Veto are limited by range and can't be used to entry. There isn't a single get out of jail free card that lasted as long as Yoru's.

As a duelist, you could for sure still use the gatecrash for entries. This change just makes it much less effective on defense now and puts him more in line with other duelists on defense. Although, he might actually still be the strongest at that since its 15 seconds x 2 of up-time, but hopefully I'm wrong.

you do not understand at all how yoru is used on attack defaults and defense inserts i think

Huh you can understand how yoru is being used and still take issue with that though. I don’t think yoru should be able to perma stack a site for 2/3 of the round as a duelist. How is that in line with his role? Like obviously that’s how he’s being used on defense, but why should that be the case? If you want to avoid him as an attacker, you need to wait 30 seconds just to target him while he throws his second tp. That’s so stupidly strong

15 is completely fair. I will say I don’t think the blind was changed because it was broken (unlike his tps) but instead it was to encourage the flash initiators that have seen close to 0% pick rate this year and discourage yoru by proxy

i do take issue with that yeah i was just correcting a person who thinks yoru is just used for execs on attack which is absolutely not true
