My ideas on how to make Yoru viable

Footsteps: I saw another redditor propose a brimstone like interface to place footsteps but, to fit the theme of the agent, I think he should instead throw them like his flashes and then look in the direction he wants them to go. This would prevent players from looking where the footsteps came from to find Yoru and would make him more of a mind game agent.

Flashes: Make it flash faster. His flashes activate too slow and it's the only one I can consistently dodge. In addition, give him the option to bounce it one to two times like a sova arrow. This would add potential lineups for executes and would make it more difficult to know where the flash came from. And since Breach's flash can go *through walls*, I think this wouldn't be overpowered.

TP: make it last longer, right now it feels too short to be able to make any decent lurk. Maybe 45s to 1min. Also make its sound behave like an Omen TP(large radius around where Yoru teleported from, small radius around where he teleported to). This would make it so that you know when and where Yoru teleported, but you would have trouble knowing where he went and since he only has one TP(unless he gets 2 kills) I think this is fair.

Ultimate: If you think his ult is fine how it is, then make it cost 6 points instead of 7, make it last a few seconds more and make it really difficult to know where he exited his ult by making the sound play everywhere at the same time. Right now, 7 ult points for a scouting ability is way too much (Raze can get a guaranteed kill for 7 points).

If you think his ult needs a rework, then I suggest this: make his vison radius twice as large (not overpowered because Reyna's ult is not) and make the pullout animation way faster. This way, since he is supposed to be a duelist, he can guarantee at least one kill like Raze.

These are just my thoughts, feel free to tell me what you think of them and any other ideas you might have.
