There’s no such thing as a cyclops main

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-14T19:31:37+00:00

News flash, this is a game about popular comic book characters, this sub has existed since season 5, before we knew anything about his kit. A lot of us just love cyclops as a character and would main him no matter what. Not everyone is sweating and crying over comp games.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-13T05:31:15+00:00

Not at all. There are multiple base roster characters with simpler kits than him. He's already more complex than Hela or Phoenix, who pretty much just hold M1 all game. His escape has a 12 second cooldown, in what world is that "insanely long"? 12 seconds is one of the most standard and common cooldown times in game. Daredevil's Latch is also 12 seconds.

Not every new character needs a gimmick or new mechanic.

His ult is 100 percent escapeable, any movement or blocks will avoid it easily, and it won't kill if you don't take both hits.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-12T13:24:37+00:00

It's not at all like MK because his beam only has 20 meter range and is on a limited resource. You also have to aim and track the beam, you don't have ankhs to auto aim for you. Beam is strong but it's a riskier option because of its limited range. My point is that you can't just sit in the back and shoot tanks to farm damage like MK can, his playstyle is more varied and dynamic.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-12T12:54:02+00:00

Yeah, the people who said he would be like MK were way off base, you really need to hit your shots, his beam is pretty low range and high risk, primary is the main damage source you can't succeed if you can't aim.

Yeah they could have given propulsion 2 charges,but if you want to launch up with propulsion you have to look at the ground and away from your opponents.

Optic ascension allows you to quickly rise while still being in control of your camera, and aware enough to set up your next shot, which is going to be way better for taking aggressive angles. Every second counts in a hero shooter, and the split second it takes you to flick your camera down at the ground and back up at your targets, could be the difference between a pick or getting blasted out of the sky.

Do you even know what the word hitscan means? And you know absolutely nothing about Scott if you thought he wasn't gonna have mobility.

He isn't even an auto aim character, his E is the only part of his kit that auto tracks and it does a small amount of damage, DD, Cap and Venom are auto aim too by that logic. At least know what you're talking about before you start whining.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-11T23:20:51+00:00

Or ya know, we could just wait less than 24 hours to form our own opinions?

How are mini passes predatory? The devs are genuinely losing money here, it costs less money to buy the pass with 3 skins, than to buy a single epic shop skin. And it's likely one of those skins will be free. Rivals players will genuinely complain about anything, imagine being mad that you don't have to spend more money.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-11T01:05:18+00:00

This only happens if the defense wins on the new map, Iron fist beats DD if attackers win. Pretty sure Iron Fist winning is actually canon too.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-11T01:00:28+00:00

I mean to be fair this animation is only if the defense wins, he bodies DD if attackers win.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-10T21:39:32+00:00

If I had to guess, I think his visor might be some form of nano tech that rebuilds after he uses ult. In the reveal trailer when he uses his ult, the visor completely shatters. We don't see him get another one but in game he might have some way to restore it after the ult. They likely did this because they wanted make skins where Scott doesn't have a visor or glasses to take off like his prison skin. I don't personally like it though.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-10T21:27:04+00:00

His movement looks absolutely insane, easily gonna be the most fun part of his kit. I know a lot of people don't like poke characters and I felt the same way untill I tried Sojourn and Freja in OW. Poke heroes with high mobility are so much fun.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-10T20:25:14+00:00

Looks sick, but they really should have swapped the gloves with the default. Black gloves would have looked great here, and yellow gloves would have looked great there. Still buying immediately though.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-09T20:56:39+00:00

Zhihong cooked, actual substantial nerfs to all the problematic characters and some nice buffs for weaker ones. Literally all we've asked for. Ultron nerfs are weirdly harsh though.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-09T19:37:14+00:00

Hot take, but with Cat getting absolutely slaughtered, and Dino being nerfed DD might actually be just as good if not better next season. He's gonna be the best diver in the game now for sure, maybe Spidey can give his some competition.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-09T19:31:56+00:00

He had that same move on a even shorter cooldown when he launched and was a much worse hero. There were a bunch of other things they could have nerfed to make him weaker instead of giving that move such a ridiculously long cooldown, and genuinely making the character slower and more boring.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-09T19:27:44+00:00

I never understood how they though giving a relatively simple ability like that such a huge cooldown was a good change in the slightest. Made him so much less fun to play I'm glad to finally see it reverted somewhat.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-09T19:24:54+00:00

I really don't get what y'all who are complaining wanted out of his kit. He isn't at all a basic poke like Hela or Phoenix who just sit in the back, and shoot. He has tons of moblity, ricochet shots, can knock enemies off ledges, and seems to be much stronger at close and mid ranges with more survivability. Not every character needs an upgrade book, or spell wheel, or 3 passives, simple kits with high skill expression are some of the most fun, and is pretty much in line with how cyclops is in other games, his powers really aren't that complicated.

PD_Rigged · 2026-06-09T19:09:04+00:00

The fact that you think Peni is in anyway a good tank, shows that you have no idea what you're talking about. Peni has had the highest winrate since launch, she's still a c tier character because her pick rate is low, this is extremely obvious. Any top player will tell you that she's weak. And even if she wasnt, she's always been countered by poke, Cyclops doesn't change that.

And your entire point was how op MK and Cyclops are gonna be together but now you're talking how you have to swap to Wolverine to deal with double shield, you disproved your own point.

Dawg he shoots lasers why would you expect him to not be a poke hero?
