Yoru’s abilities:

• C – Bait
  • Yoru sends out a wave of steps and creates a stepping sound. Press Fire to send forward, or pre-place it by pressing Alternate Fire. You can then press F to send the inactive one forward.
    
• Q – Stun
  • Yoru throws a stun/flashbang in the direction that he is facing. The stun/flashbang will pop a few seconds after it has contacted a surface.
    
• E – Uninvited Guest
  • Once E is pressed, Yoru places a portal. To send the portal forward, press Fire. To anchor the portal, press Alternate fire. Press E again to activate the teleport and go through the portal.
    
• X – Spatial Drift
  • Press ultimate ability to go invisible for all enemies and become invulnerable to all types of damage.

How will Yoru impact the current Agent pool?

Just by looking at his abilities in the video above, you can clearly see the potential that an agent like Yoru has. He gives out a similar playstyle to Reyna with invisibility and quick decision making. We cannot make a clear prediction of how Yoru will impact the agent pool, but we can be certain that he will be picked a decent amount in pro matches and ranked.

Many have argued that a duelist is the last thing that they want as a new agent, especially with the only useful smoke agents being Omen and Brimstone. As per Riot’s announcement of an agent every 2 months, we can expect more impactful agents in the coming months.
