Initially, Yoru is one of the most underappreciated agents in VALORANT’s competitive scene, is getting a huge overhaul. Riot Games has then detailed the modifications for Yoru in Episode 4, Act 2. Yoru has struggled to find his footing in the Valorant meta since his release owing to the predictability of his skills and the capacity of other agents to do so much more.
The Valorant dev team announced big impending reworks to the disappearing agent which may just make Yoru more of a meta.
Major Rework
In a State of the Agent post on the game’s official website, VALORANT Producer John Gosicki and Game Designer Ryan Cousart described how they’re giving Yoru a substantial overhaul for the upcoming Act.
Two abilities will be changed as a result of the rework: Fakeout and his ultimate Dimensional Rift.
Fakeout, an ability that now misleads foes by simulating the sound of Yoru’s footsteps, will now be “a full copy of Yoru, that runs forward, and when damaged, explodes and debuffs enemies,” rather than merely the directional sound of footsteps.
Part 2 of our early look at Yoru's rework is here. Let @RiotMEMEMEMEME and @rycoux update you on the latest direction for the dimensional drifter. https://t.co/me6UDHoIeH pic.twitter.com/YcOvkZICiD
