Well the thing is, Neon is actually a traditional entry fragging duelist who is relatively easier to play than Yoru. Unlike Yoru, Neon makes room for trades and doesn't reposition at an instant like Yoru, which makes getting value out of her easier. Yoru relies on mind games which, after a certain point, stop working. Hence why Yoru doesn't have long term success in pro games, and teams only play Yoru like, once every 25 games just to try out some new strats to throw the enemy off. But if you look at it, teams have started to learn more about how Yoru works and how teams such as PRX use Yoru and form strats around him. Hence he can easily be countered unlike some other duelists.

That's the only thing that will make his pick rate even reach 10% lmao

1% pick rate so far in Champions, sub 5% pick rate in Ranked across all ranks (according to Valking) and a sub 47% win rate for that amount of pick rate. What's wrong with Yoru? Didn't he receive a huge rework earlier this year? How do you think he can break into the meta? I have so many questions. But imo he's just gonna be that one character nobody plays and is pretty much gonna be the worst until the end of time...

Well, at least FNS did better compared to Thrownge1

They don't deserve an 'NT', they deserve a 'GG go next losers' instead 😂

Let me know your predictions for the Grand Final of Champions Istanbul.
Mine is OpTic vs DRX :)

At this point, only increasing the speed of his tp will make his pick rate in pro play even go past 10% XD

As a Yoru main myself, I always wonder why Yoru, even after 7 months or something after his rework, is still an underplayed agent in pro play. Like c'mon, you can't deny that he provides great value with his ult, flash and even tp. We saw how PRX f0rsakeN made Yoru work really well in pro games, and also saw XERXIA almost winning with foxz on Yoru. It's sad cuz we'll probably never see a lot of Yoru in pro play, and he's gonna be trash till the end of time.

Recently, one of the devs have stated that they're looking forward to agent balance changes in the next act or so, and one of them were more Chamber nerfs. Do you think he should be nerfed more or nah? Personally, I feel he should be nerfed a little bit more, like probably not make his tp as instant as it is now, so that Chambers get punished for abusing their tp. Moreover, buffing the other sentinels just won't help as Chamber's strength on defense is unmatched. You literally have to use so much util to clear out a Chamber threat, which already makes him so good.

The last thing I want to happen is FPX making the grand finals of Champions Istanbul. I'm pretty sure most of us want a region other than EU and NA to win a major tournament, but at this rate it looks pretty unlikely. FPX are starting to look like the FPX we know, and I'm scared that they might make it to another final.

Umm, PRX? I think you forgot about them. They only underperformed this Champions

Yeah GGs to both teams. It was the first time in a while that we had an evenly poised series otherwise it was just 2-0 everywhere

As much as I wanted DRX to win, you gotta give HUGE props to Alfajer for doing his absolute best in front of his home crowd. Dude even tried to clutch up in that last round and almost did. Seeing his and FNC's glum faces is enough to make a grown man cry.

Is it just me or every playoff series so far has been extremely one-sided. Only TL v OPTIC went to the decider, but the rest of the games were just pure slaughter by one team. I hope we get more entertaining games in the future

Soulcas 14/28 across two maps. Will never forget that whiff on Bind XD

Is it just me or Onur resembles Johnny Sins a LOT
Like not just the bald head, almost everything

EMEA fans be like : NA = Nearest Airport
Uh huh, that's why OpTic and XSET destroyed your ass

Yeah it's fair tbh. I hate it how Chamber has a trip that doesn't deactivate no matter how far you go, but somehow KJ's alarmbot deactivates. It's also stupid how a broken ability like the Rendezvous only has a 30 second cooldown while Cypher's cam has 45 💀

Cypher buff ideas :-

Trapwire

• Windup after tether : 3 >>> 1.5 seconds

• Detection distance : 3 >>> 2 metres

Cyber Cage

• Duration : 7.25 >>> 9.25 seconds

• Cypher can now pick up his cages.

Spycam

• Cooldown : 45 >>> 30 seconds

• Reveal ticks / Tick rate : 2 >>> 1 every second

Neural Theft

• Now reveals enemies' positions 3 times, with one reveal every 2 seconds.

NA Chambers = EU Chambers but actually good

No, just no. Bringing back Jett's dash would make us go back to square one which was the problem in the first place. They should just add more cooldown to his tp, like 30 seconds isn't enough at ALL if you ask me. It's stupid how a broken ability like the Rendezvous gets only a 30s cooldown while abilities like Cypher's cam has a 40s cooldown. Or, they can buff the other sentinels

Chamber is honestly a huge problem for Valorant and it's future. You see, Chamber promotes unhealthy playstyles like OP crutching and players barely have to do much to get value out of him. He basically renders every other sentinel useless. He has killed Cypher, made KJ's stalling power look like a joke, and Sage was never going to compete with him. At this rate Riot should just nerf the tp speed and add a little bit of a delay so that he gets punished. It's the Jett problem but even worse, and we were complaining a lot about Jett meta lmao
