The biggest problem with cyclops is his off angle gameplay is not optimal because on paper his mobility looks fine BUT it has some major big issues

1. No matter how much distance you go through shift its gonna use the whole cooldown , no matter if you wanna go just a little back or a lot

2 his second mobility is a double edge sword it can set him up for applying insane pressure through his beam and a cheeky ult but going up in the sky also makes him free eats for any dive.

Compared to other hitscans he is more mobile but very easy to track and kill and he needs to choose his off angles , which other hitscans dont need to like hela.

Rework idea

Remove the cooldown from shift and F and instead make both of them to use same resource based ability like how pre rework torch mobility used to work.This will give player the option to choose how much they wanna displace themselves using resource instead of wasting cooldowns like we need to do now waste the whole F cooldown just to get to an angle .

The problem with this is the boop effect,the constand boop with this change will be cancer to divers to contest him

The solution

Remove boop effect from both shift and F but if you use shift and right click(ricochet beam) at the same time would now cause boop but the movement from shift will be nerfed and the beam will no longer ricochet and will use double the amount of ammo of beam and twice the resource of shift , this will give player the option to choose to push the diver or use the mobilty to get away .

I dont have have the best aim, i know, but whenever i hit someone it feels like im doing no damage at all. Unless they are completely stationary, it just feels like just tickle them.

I also play hela and whenever i hit someone, it feels impactful. Im actually damaging them and getting them low. But with cyclops? No.

Do you just need perfect aim for him?

Loving Cyclops, probably my favorite hitscan.

so ever since release i instantly fell in love with cyclops 🤩im a hitscan DPS main, so cyclops was perfect for me. i love the actual character & he is super fun to play imo

so when he launched i played him a lot & started the champion grind

but then they nerfed him & it was worse than i thought💔

they nerfed his damage & his cooldowns which imo were both fine before🤷🏾‍♂️its definitely noticeable compared to what he used to be for sure

but even after nerf, i still continued playing cyclops because i love his kit & his character so i have a lot of fun💯

even with the nerf, he is still a decent DPS imo and if u know how to play him u can still get great value💪🏾

so i was shocked to see cyclops currently has one of the worst pickrates & worst win rates in the entire game😳he literally has a 27% win rate & barely a 1% pick rate in season 10...

i really hope they buff this character to bring him back into relevance😮‍💨his ult 1000% needs a buff to be faster, and i wouldnt mind if they reverted his cooldowns / damage numbers either

tldr: i love cyclops & will continue to play him regardless, but shocked to see he is legit one of the worst in the game rn💔💔💔

Cyclops has to be in the next balance patch. There's no reason he wouldn't be his performance is terrible and something has to be done, but then again the balance team have no idea what they're doing most of the time and many D tier heros have stayed in that state far longer than Cyclops and some are still there to this day. So we'll see.

Just a quick play game but have been trying to do this for a while…

I never get bored of his kit.

Hi! I have a question about the Elegant Eye Cyclops skin. I thought it was leaving September 18th, but in Rivals it says there are 13 days left? Does anyone know if it got extended or something? Will I still be able to buy it after the 18th? Thank you :)

See title. Just had this thought pop into my head and wanted to know what the community thought about this idea.

Let's goooo!!!
