Pick Yoru, Win Anyway

Yoru is one of Valorant’s worst agents.
There are teams that have tried to make him work - but nobody ever managed to succeed with the agent.
But there was one team who saw Yoru’s true potential.
One player who managed to do the impossible - and win with Yoru.

This is why I love PRX. They have always been a team to push what could be meta. They were also one of the first to experiment with neon too, and with time I am sure they will keep this up as Valorant progresses.

@a.w_. 2 года назад

They play in tournaments like they’re on SEA ranked servers and some of these teams just can’t keep up with them. They might not be the “best” team out there, but definitely the most fun to watch.

I love that this is finally being covered. 5v5 Yoru is almost impossible, that is, unless u have a team that can support you well. The fast repositions, his flashes (far from the worse, if anyt, just unique) and his ability to create chaos is insane. If ure read by the enemy, uve lost. But pair it with good game knowledge/sense and gunplay and this character has the highest outplay potential. He's by far my favourite character to play in high elo

@EagleScout2019 2 года назад

I'm low elo and I can confirm this. If the enemy knows what I'm doing, then I'm screwed, but working around them and creating new strats to be unpredictable is so much fun. Yoru is to me, is an agent built to flank and confuse

@cfl4sh361 Год назад

Yoru just is in a league of its own if a smart player plays him, for his ability to trick enemies is what makes him strong Unfortunately in lower elo it rarely works, since they camp his tp, ignore the fake tps since in low elo they have no clue of what audio cues are, and in general tend to play brainless to kill him, not to mention basically nobody knows how to play him well, so unless you’re high elo he’s kind of useless even if you’re really smart

@fluffman3029 2 года назад

7:06 forsaken didn’t just turn around to turn around he wanted to dodge his own flash. it’s a weird thing with the ult where if a flash is thrown as you try to unult either the flash will not be thrown or the unult will not happen. This was caused due to a “bug fix” to try to prevent the infamous instant pullout as well as other flash animation cancels but now just plagues the yoru player base.

APAC is really where yoru thrives, specifically, as you said, in bind. I really think in a couple of months the meta of bind will shift from raze to yoru in other regions just because he's that good in bind, like how raze was the meta pick for fracture and then suddenly neon rocks the world

The only time the name "Forsaken" is actually seen in positive light (yes looking at you CSGO), the man just can't be stopped it seems when he plays Yoru. He knows the read from the enemy very well, and sometimes despite people saying that Yoru only works on Bind and Paper Rex made it looked easy, I always thought and wonder if there's a chance that just MAYBE Yoru can be seriously deadly in other maps as well from the potential that Paper Rex as a whole and Forsaken specifically has demonstrated. Truly proud of this team for repping ASEAN at the world stage in a major. Love from Vietnam.

I'm just gonna say this, the problem with yoru isn't that he's a bad agent. The problem is that he's listed as a duelist when in reality he is literally just an initiator.

@DualityofLife 2 года назад

thats also not true. Yorus greeat for entrying, and thats the only job of a duelist. Yoru is a hybrid, and if u just stick agents in strict categories, the game gets boring insanely fast.

@realvnmb 2 года назад

you're wrong, the purpose of an initiator is to gather info, look at skye for example, she has her dog, sova, drone, kayo, knife. What does yoru have? nothing for info gathering, sure he has his clone but if enemies dont shoot it = no info gathered, he does have flashes which some initiators do as well but it doesn't make him an initiator

@xxcridonxx7614 2 года назад

Initiators have recon abilities (except for breach). He’s def a duelist

People are trash talking yoru because hes complicated when hes an agent that requires alot of thinking to get the hang of, Which is why if your yoru play succeeded you either got lucky or big brain or your enemies are just pure trippin

@AnimeRusher 2 года назад

So, according to me duelist like Jett,Raze and Reyna you need instinct and some decent aim but with Yoru and Pheonix, if you can remember their lineups like where the Yoru tp or flash will go and where will phoenix molly will go or how to properly throw his flash, you can then outsmart almost anyone on your level. I have seen some busted Yoru and Phoenix users in Immo 1 like that Yoru was everywhere with his tp, he was always behind us or outsmarting us with his fake tp's and clones. So, in my eyes every agent is good and has a completely different playstyle and no agent is bad.

@silentKeys20 2 года назад

I'd put Raze and Neon on another category; the movement centric duelists. You don't need to have the sickest aim on them, but movement will get you very far with them. Jett and Reyna are by far the most basic, aim centric ones.

Imma say Yoru is not the worst agent for pro play now (that honor goes to Reyna), but he is the worst agent for a normal VAL pro team set-up. Paper Rex is different because they are a hyper-aggressive team that employs TWO hyper-cracked, hyper-aggressive duelist mains. And to be able to make full use of their skillset, your team should be able to instill chaos even before a single round is played, which is why Paper Rex keeps cooking off new strategies and agent compositions. On the other hand, the only "sin" of the new version of Yoru is that he came out at a time when double duelist set-ups are considered passe.
