Hear me out reddit.

We all know Yoru is bad. We all know he's a meme agent and if you want to hear a collective groan from a quartet of strangers, all you need to do is hover Yoru.

But I'd like to argue Yoru is worse than that. He's designed to be a loser agent, a literal Rank 1 of Lose Rate %. If you want to make a smurf account to derank, just pick Yoru and play regularly. He's secretly an experiment thrown into the agent pool to purposely destroy your MMR.

​

Yoru's statistics from last act, from ALL game modes sorted from winrate percentage ascending

​

Yoru is THE number 1 agent to pick if you want to lose. The proof is in the numbers. If you dig deeper into competitive you can see the story unfolding:

​

Bronze 1

And I know what you're gonna say: but its Bronze 1, agent picks in these early ranks don't matter because people are still strengthening their mechanics and are probably new to the game

Silver 1

And I know what you're gonna say: but its Silver, agent picks in these early ranks dont matter because people are still strengthening their aim

Gold 1

And I know what you're gonna say: but its Gold, agent picks in these early ranks don't matter because people are still strengthening their game sense

Plat 1

And I know what you're gonna say: but its Plat, agent picks in these early ranks don't matter because people are still strengthening the synergy of their aim and game sense

Diamond 2

okay but...

Immortal

Yoru is to Valorant, as Dan is to Street Fighter.

He was purposely trained poorly as a joke.

Because of these statistics--

We should be able to report Yoru players for throwing the game or sabotaging the game because they know the numbers. Yoru players pick Yoru to lose, there is no Yoru player who wins, it doesn't exist and those who have claimed a Yoru win are just mythical creatures or tellers of tall tales. It doesn't matter what Riot does with Yoru because we've seen them try and fix Viper so we as a community should just embrace Yoru as a clown agent and petition Riot to give us what we want.

A non-penalty to dodge if someone locked Yoru at the agent select screen.

Thank you for listening.
