The new Fakeout currently consists of a full clone of Yoru that debuffs enemies when shot. We don't know everything about it yet but here are some of my concerns:
- Not believable: If the clone is only capable of walking in a straight line, it might only be able to imitate really aggressive and dumb plays. In fact, walking right in front of an enemy at all seems like a dumb play.
- Little penalty for shooting the clone: If it does not deal damage, Yoru would need to be able to take advantage of the debuff it applies. If the debuff is too small, players far away may be able to safely shoot the clone from distance every time.
- It becomes too much like a flash: It seems like a clone would be quite difficult to trick enemies with, as there are often only a couple of plausible angles that Yoru can take. The debuff might become it's main strength, not the misinformation it provides. If so, it would just be a flash with extra steps.
