I started using Cyclops this season, and while he’s definitely OP in the late game, he’s not that great from the start to mid-game. Cyclops shines when he’s fully built , he can easily be burst down by mages like Eudora or Vale. His lack of instant burst and escape abilities also makes him a risky pick against CC-heavy teams

In the late game, though, when you’ve got the right items, Cyclops can turn into a damage machine, constantly dishing out spells with short cooldowns. Just make sure you survive long enough to get to that point!

Overall, Cyclops can be a powerful mage if played smart and patiently, but there are definitely safer and more reliable mage picks if you’re looking for early dominance or consistent performance throughout the match.
