TEJO Mythbusting | Interactions with Agents & Game Mechanics

[@bomj-valera]

A skill ability destroying KJ's 8-orb ult like that is nuts. With Kayo you at least need lineups.

[@christopherhong6008]

Rip kj, she is now going to be at the bottom of every tier list on every single map, because of tejo

[@Kyugired]

Its actually worse, Lockdown is 9 a ult point ultimate

[@andyluan7183]

(a unique ability that you have for 0 every round every 40 seconds btw)

[@alihmidan396]

they will def change that. make it do less damage to util like they did to raze made.

[@Hrismo]

Too much overpowered, probably gonna change that.

[@Listoric]

A free skill that breaks every sentinels bought items and setups, from afar, with perfect precision, including KJs ult. What in the world are they thinking?

[@midnite59]

They should make it not destroy util

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

It's SO good we finally have an ability to counter Killjoy's ult! I can actually see it on the map although others never seem to realize you can, so instead of running towards it I can actually destroy it from a distance now! It's good to have counters to abilities like that!😁

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

You need counters that don't just require shooting your gun, and it's only one character that can do it, and you'd be using up your ability to destroying a utility instead of going for a kill or anything else. I don't think it's overpowered, just useful.

[@XenetifyGD]

@@fuzzyotterpaws4395its destroying an 8 point ult… basically making it useless if youre playing against a tejo

[@MohamedAli-vy4pc]

There’s literally no skill involved with that Tejo ability

Lmaooooo. But realistically he’s gonna get nerfed even harder than Chamber. Give it 2 weeks max

[@mafiacat88]

@@MonrothWasTaken I mean, sure, brim does delay for longer. But that's somewhat tempered by brim often playing in the same few places, and the person playing him actually knowing the lineups-they (mostly) won't be able to just fire them off while rotating sites or whatever. With this guy I could delay the defuse for a solid couple of seconds, mid-rotate, on my first game playing him. The skill floor just seems weirdly low for this guy

[@Aszliiuwu]

He seems op... he can counter so much things... so many ults... def is going to be nerfed

[@gragalakaisel1477]

they're gonna nerf him to useless. lmao

[@Navimumbhai]

That's what every game does. Release overpowered weapons/abilities, make money, nerf.

[@madhatter113]

No not really. He can counter abilities but that's it. His utils are really slow, you can easily move out of their way. See the mollys coming and you can easily avoid them. Move sideway of the ult and you can avoid it. His main power only lies against cypher and KJ utils.

[@glitchedreal]

Kayo can do popflashes and with lineups kayo can safely gather Info or suppress without counterplay. whereas tejo only has a shit stun.

[@vincenzosama]

Being inside the teleporter on Bind and seeing a missile full speed coming at your back is just hilarious lol This trick is actually useful

Your kills will feed abilities though

[@CMMCMXCV]

Honestly kinda tired of the number of agents that can fuck sents sideways... The kj ult thing is ridiculous and the silence will stop you from playing ratty with your utility... What even is the point, better just play breach and stun em when you hear em.

[@minibedvalorant]

they really opened 2025 with the most powerful agent valorant has ever seen

[@MonrothWasTaken]

he wouldn't be THE most powerful even now (one of the most powerful - probably), and he is definitely not even close to brokeness of original omen\jett\chamber

[@minibedvalorant]

@MonrothWasTaken With Jett, Chamber or even Omen atleast you gotta aim to be good. With Tejo, you just fiddle with your iPad and your bombs are just lowkey aimboting. they even break kj ult, something they nerf to breach with his aftershock. Tldr I'm instalocking this agent

[@MonrothWasTaken]

@@minibedvalorant his abilities are good at countering sentinels and clearing space, but is not always super good in other stuff. Suppose that you are smoked off, and your duelist died died due to his stupidity. How would you enter site? you can't popflash, and you have only one 300$ drone with limited vision and that is destructible by a single sheriff shot? ANY other initiator in this scenario would be more useful to clear all infinite possible offangles. Also flashes provide more utility in 1v1 duels. He is weaker info-wise than sova or even sky, he doesn't has flashes, his mollies are bad for stalling (because they are short). His kit has other strong sides for sure, and they will probably compensate these drawbacks. But it is highly unlikely that he will have winrate of Clove

[@adhdorangutan]

@@MonrothWasTaken His kits might not have pop flash or strong scan but he has a guided ballistic missile as a skill every round, a stun to play with and a pretty horrifying scan that scans rather quickly and surpress your utils, or can even go unnoticed outside of your detection range (still free info in most scenarios if someone breaks it). He's more like a mix of a bunch of agents, can be played as a substitute for duelists and initiators. His kits absolutely shreds when it comes to helping entries or just playing on his own. You can leave the flashing for the duelists if you run him on a comp. I'd definitely put him as the strongest rn, shit's just insane on 1 agent lol.

Great vid as always! I think the only issue I have with this character is how you can just send those missiles without any skill, even across the whole map. Taking util out, applying pressure from wherever that isn't just smokes and you don't have to learn lineups, that's the bit that I think will get nerfed.

[@kaizenkior]

maybe you can outrun the ult if u run immediately after you see the ult unlike in the vid where you wait a littler

[@derschunk]

The projectile immediately breaking the door is hilarious, I wonder if that was on purpose. Since no other projectile/ability interacts like that with the doors, they surely must have implemented this specificially for his missles?

[@onelander1602]

if you begin to run as soon as ult starts _and you are in ult to begin with_ then you definitely can outrun it, you always started to run from outside of ult. With headstart probably even with rifles Fun facts about drone that i've seen on other streamer tests: Drone doesn't have limit on how much you can rotate camera while you are in it, basically you can run and 360 every second Drone can shiftwalk, and then it doesn't produce CLACK sound Drone jumps higher than Sky dog and probably even higher than player, i've seen it jumping on boxes in the middle of ascent A site Have anyone tested if drone clacking triggers sound sensor of Deadlock?

Future nerfs, guided salvo will be reduced to 1 tick or damage reduced to 30. Stealth drone duration reduced and either reveal or disable will be removed. Rest of the two abilities are very basic and not that powerful so they may not be tweaked. The ult looks very weak IMO. its probably easy to clear out of its way.
