Yoru vs Deadlock Attack and Defense Performance
42.6%54.3%45.7%57.4%Attack Side Breakdown
The attack-side performance gap between Deadlock and Yoru is dramatic: 54.3% versus 42.6%, a commanding 11.6 percentage point advantage. Deadlock dominates offensive scenarios in this matchup to a degree that requires Yoru to fundamentally change their approach to attack-side play.
Our analysis of 11 competitive matches reveals Deadlock has overwhelming attack-side superiority in every measurable category. Site executions, entry success, post-plant conversion, and mid-round adaptability all massively favor Deadlock. This isn't a gap that Yoru can overcome through practice or "playing better" — it's a structural matchup disadvantage. Yoru teams must build their entire attack strategy around protecting Yoru from direct Deadlock engagement: give Yoru lurk roles, put them in trade positions rather than entry, and design executes where Yoru's weaknesses are covered by teammate utility.
Under no circumstances should Yoru take entry duels against Deadlock. The 11.6% attack gap makes entry fragging against Deadlock one of the lowest-percentage plays in Valorant. Yoru must exclusively play support roles on attack: flash for teammates, smoke for executes, trade after entries, or create map pressure through lurks that don't involve Deadlock confrontation. Deadlock should actively hunt Yoru entries, knowing the statistical advantage is overwhelming.
Yoru's post-plant conversion rate against Deadlock is catastrophic. The data shows Yoru fails to hold spike plants at a dramatically higher rate than Deadlock. Never leave Yoru alone post-plant — they need constant teammate support, crossfire setups, and utility coordination to have any chance of winning these scenarios. Consider not planting at all if Yoru is the only survivor. Deadlock should play extremely confidently in post-plants, knowing Yoru struggles to convert even favorable positions.
Defense Side Breakdown
The defensive disparity between Deadlock and Yoru is substantial: 57.4% versus 45.7%, a 11.6 point chasm. Deadlock absolutely dominates CT side in this matchup — their site holds are significantly harder to break, their retake contributions more impactful, and their defensive utility more effective at every level.
Yoru cannot be trusted with traditional site anchor responsibilities against Deadlock. The 11.6% defensive gap is too large to overcome through positioning or individual skill. Teams must protect Yoru: pair them with multiple teammates, give them off-site lurk positions, or have them rotate immediately when Deadlock's presence is identified on their site. Deadlock should aggressively anchor the most difficult sites on any map, knowing their defensive capability is overwhelming.
Yoru should avoid retake scenarios against Deadlock entirely when possible. The data from 11 matches shows Yoru's retake conversion rate against Deadlock is dramatically lower than average. If Yoru must retake, require 3+ player numbers advantage and full utility coordination. Deadlock should play post-plant positions knowing Yoru lacks the capability to effectively contest them. In clutch scenarios, Deadlock wins at overwhelming rates.
Economy decisions for Yoru must account for their defensive inadequacy. Force buying against Deadlock is essentially throwing away credits — the defensive gap makes partial buys nearly unwinnable. Yoru should always advocate for full saves, building toward rounds where team utility can compensate for their individual defensive weakness. Deadlock can confidently force and half-buy, knowing their defensive advantages persist across all economy states.
Overall Side Analysis
Deadlock demonstrates commanding superiority on both attack (54.3%) and defense (57.4%), comprehensively outperforming Yoru across all phases of the game. Based on our analysis of 11 competitive matches, this is one of the more one-sided agent matchups in Valorant, with Deadlock holding advantages at every stage.
Map selection and team composition cannot fix Yoru's disadvantage in this matchup. Deadlock outperforms across all map types and team structures. If you're playing Yoru into Deadlock, your team composition needs to compensate heavily: strong fragging agents to carry Yoru's weight, utility-heavy supports to cover their positioning, and coordination to avoid leaving Yoru in isolated Deadlock encounters.
For ranked climbing, avoid playing Yoru when you expect to face Deadlock frequently. The 23.3 combined percentage point disadvantage across both sides is too large to overcome through individual skill improvement. If Deadlock is meta in your rank bracket, strongly consider adding them to your agent pool or playing agents that have more neutral matchups.
Final verdict: Deadlock decisively wins the Yoru vs Deadlock matchup. This isn't a skill check or a "play better" situation — Deadlock has systematic advantages that manifest across thousands of games. Yoru players facing Deadlock should adjust expectations, play more supportively, and recognize that direct confrontations are statistically unfavorable at every stage of the game.
Duelist vs Sentinel Dynamics
The Duelist (Yoru) vs Sentinel (Deadlock) dynamic creates asymmetric encounters where each agent brings fundamentally different tools to engagements. Yoru's Duelist abilities serve different purposes than Deadlock's Sentinel kit, meaning direct fights often feature non-equivalent utility exchanges.
Understanding how Duelist abilities interact with Sentinel counterplay is essential for maximizing your agent's potential. Yoru's Duelist toolkit may excel at certain aspects while Deadlock's Sentinel kit counters others. The Deadlock advantage suggests their role's capabilities translate better to winning these cross-role encounters on average.
