i think sova extends his skill ceiling bc the lineups, i mean, its not an agent that has a kit to outplay like others can do, but if you have great lineups you can diff everyone

yeah the most op agent in the game, i like it but i personally prefer neon because i played first apex and overwatch, and she has the slide + ult and my tracking is great bc overwatch and that things.

you can do such great things but with the nerf dash i dont see jett as clean as before.

how is this a debate it's so obviously yoru

his whole kit is based around giving the enemy team false information

yeah but i saw people in my elo (asc 3 - immo 1) trying to outplay the enemy and fucking his mind itself.
they were hided on a position and he faked a teleport where he was, the enemy checked if it was fake and he died💀
but yeah if you know how to think, you can outplay in great ways,
i love watching red/ziptie/ethos vids so like yoru option

yoru is all about calculated risks, but on top of that you need to think really far ahead of time to preplan how to get out of tricky situations or set up for a good fake tp.

for instance, lets say it's a 1v3 on icebox, you kill the B site anchor, making it a 1v2 and you plant bomb. you could throw your tp snowman and go main, throw tp main and go snowman for an aggro 1v1 play, maybe throw the tp backsite to use as a fake tp while playing main, or my personal favorite, go snowman and throw tp danger and fake it so when they turn and see the fake, they'll expect you to logically be in B main and then you can tap them on bomb from snowman.
all that is JUST for 1 ability, i havent even brought in his clone or one way flashes into the mix.

his playstyle is so unique and for that reason he has a very high skill floor, but additionally his kit being built around spreading misinformation makes him have the highest skill ceiling because instead of being memorization based like sova or utility dependent like astra, his abilities transcend the game entirely. yoru's kit is all about fucking with their heads and destroying their mental.

(i have 500 hours on yoru, so this is speaking from experience. i've played him since release episode 2 but i still have more to learn about his utility.)

skye is very easy to play, highest is probably breach or smth

for me, its one of the best agents for soloq, you have a hability kit that you can play alone or for your team, and i mean, skye is easy but its not easy to be a GREAT skye, thats the skill ceiling

a single agent doesnt make sense, we might need to go by the classes.
I think jett (especially with the new dash by double press) and the dash being non-linear comes down to user decisions, a good sova is very hard to play against more than a good kayo or breach, astra, and cypher.

yeah
duelist -yoru/jett
controller - astra
iniciator - kayo/sova
sentinel - cypher/sage? (because grim walls)

sage is a good one, because I've been noticing recently teams putting their duelists/high fraggers with sage on icebox and it works great.

mazino on sage icebox is crazy actually, not duelist but is a nice top fragger

Imo sova/kayo are harder than breach

sova and cypher imo. Sova util used intuitively is one of the hardest things. When you see leo, crashies, sacy play sova, its clear how much better they are compared to the rest of the sovas.
Cypher also is very on the fly and some good cages can easily win the damn round.

Many have already mentioned Your and Astra so I'll mention the one agent I think definitely has a high skill ceiling, is breach.
A good breach stun can make or break a push / defence
With literally every other initiator you get info in some way or the other. He is the only agent that doesn't explicitly gives any info.
He isn't that Difficult to use but timing his util and forming a game sense around him can be pretty challenging.

true honestly, i think people discount breach because of a low skill floor, but if you know his utility, you're gonna cause people to go to the fucking optometrist

For real. He needs coordination but honestly he is insane. I started off as a breach main by watching LMNTRIX, stayed because of Nosyy and now I'm learning more by seeing JoeDaBozo and pros like Stax.

I think astra is pretty high.
probably the agent with the highest macro impact in the game.
the suck can provide huge value combined with other agents
