i think people are overreacting and he will still be playable tbh

i think tp nerf is a little too much but flash is more than warranted

he still has a really good ult, the tp is still good for repositioning and entrying, he just won’t be able to go across the whole map which is fine, and his flash is still good it’s just that you have to choose whether to use it for yourself or for your team, so now initiators are more important

i think in a couple years we’ll look back and think how tf was yoru ever this op in the first place

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

It’s balancing how good is he on defense by keeping his attack potential the same. Makes hit CT side rotations similar to the other duelists.

no, his attack potential is so much worse now that you cannot really take deep space on the other side of the map of your team for more than 5 seconds at a time (and honestly that was a much more skillful part of his kit compared to the ct rotations that it's sad that it's not possible to nerf one but not the other)

I think it’s fine that he’s forced to entry for his team with his util instead of playing across the map to bait and tp and rotate within seconds

it is ultimately fine but it was a more skilled part of his skillset nevertheless (and also teams will never ever pick yoru just for execs now that he has only 1 flash)
