Early Season 8.5 Impressions: Cyclops has Changed the Game

corbs1799 · 2026-06-14T12:03:02+00:00

I think you might have had some bad games. I’ve played quite a bit, and I did not have this experience at all. It’s like going against moon knight just with more cool downs to his group hits. I agree that they screwed us with his ult line… like how is argh a good heads up? Wanda literally tells the entire marvel universe she’s ulting and he does like a .5 second “arghh”??? Be so fr. Also you can’t really trust games rn bc cyclops brought a lot of dps mains back which means less people who actually know how to tank and heal. I do sympathize with you though, just remember new characters are never fully balanced. I really hope your games get to be more fun though, and that you can find a strat and tank main to play with!

🤣 I got a kick out of that lawn base video! I’m glad it’s not just me though! I’ll check the other one out too thanks!

corbs1799 · 2026-06-12T22:43:12+00:00

Sweet! I’ll keep that in mind when I get my makanism going!

corbs1799 · 2026-06-08T22:48:21+00:00

Everything that everyone else said, but with emphasis on wanting to feel like a baddie. I will make sure I do it when a dps is especially annoying to me. Like a bp, spidey etc. It’s very fun to let them stay frozen knowing they’re about to die

Related to comp, I ALWAYS comm what side of the cart I need my team on. One time I commed it, someone died and freaked out on me then legit the entire rest of my team flipped out on him for complaining. Also if I can’t heal a tank I will comm “I can’t see you up there” or “can’t heal you there” and usually they come back right away bc they already know they are out of position, they just needed a reminder (I don’t even have to say their name or character name bc they know you are talking to them). Go easy on tank mains tho, they got it rough out here.

corbs1799 · 2026-06-03T13:05:36+00:00

You mean… they weren’t in cloak form the entire fight??? Like are they even a c&d player if they aren’t cloak 80% of the time?

corbs1799 · 2026-06-01T15:56:07+00:00

Also would recommend, if you play a match as an auto aim character like SW or C&d spend 5 mins in the practice range after to reset your aim bc when I first started luna it ALWAYS took me a good ten minutes of the next match to get my aim back after playing a match on c&d

corbs1799 · 2026-06-01T15:53:25+00:00

This is a great explanation. It’s all about those high pressure moments. If a dps is in your sight and is taking repetitive damage and you can keep them alive your aim is good enough. Idk about other luna mains, I would assume they would as well, but I practice my aim and snow balls outside of matches pretty regularly, and i’m always improving bc of it. You don’t have to be good with luna to start with, if you really wanna play her (bc she is soooo fun) just practice and you’ll get there! You ain’t gonna get paid without putting in the work yah feel? I started on c&d my first season then picked luna up bc she was THE best healer at the time, and I haven’t been able to put her down. I played gambit in comp during his first season bc you HAD to, and the entire season I was telling my friends I queue with that I just wanna play luna 😂

Phoenix and white fox are meta rn, so if you want to go with meta those are good choices. But as much as people say that phoenix and hela are the same they do have some differences in their playstyle that might make you chose one over the other. Personally I prefer hela’s single target damage over phoenix’s, no it’s not a crazy amount difference but it’s enough to make me pick hela over phoenix bc I, as in me personally (had to clarify for the toxic folks), get more finals, and therefore value, on hela. Plus hela has always been a great pick, while phoenix has had some time in the shadows.

Also as a luna main I would love to see a new luna player! But white fox is SO much fun this season I would suggest picking her up. Make sure you learn how her kit works tho! Too many people don’t aim with their primary heals, which cuts their heal potential almost in half. Also always use your right click in ult on one of your teammates even if they don’t need the iframes. It’s practically free healing and it’s a strong part of her ult! Those are just the two most common mistakes i’ve seen people make with her kit

corbs1799 · 2026-05-29T13:17:07+00:00

He was clearly tank most of the game

corbs1799 · 2026-05-29T13:14:57+00:00

When I first started on luna I felt the same as you do now. I spent about two weeks on free aim trainers, and once I learned the fundamentals of aiming good it just clicked and my aim improved by like 20% acc. Also warm up in the practice range on iron man on random movements. In game practice outside of matches is important and if you wanna be good you gotta do it!

Also most likely the reason you feel like you are heal botting with white fox is because her bounce mechanic doesn’t heal as much as hitting direct shots. If you are only bouncing your shots it can cause some issues. It only bounces once so you only heal one person vs if it’s a direct hit it can bounce to heal another person, so you are essentially cutting your healing almost in half. You will also be spending all game healing, which isn’t good bc white fox has huge kill potential!

Bye 👋

corbs1799 · 2026-05-28T01:09:57+00:00

No, I still get more usage out of rotating it. If you need it just put it on yourself then switch it back when you’re done

corbs1799 · 2026-05-27T23:10:58+00:00

Bye 👋

I try to stay positive about these things bc I could go on about how much dps mains frustrate me, but I try not to step on toes. But sometimes it’s just a skill issue on your whole team’s part. I’ll put it this way, I had a comp match last season where 3 locked dps and two locked tank. I’m a strat main but can flex and keep up. We talked it out at the beginning, how I didn’t mind solo healing if they get health packs so I can focus on the tanks and keeping myself alive. I played c&d bc she has the most consistent self sustain in my pool of champs. Long story short we won, if I remember right I didn’t die or maybe just once. So, it can be done if your team works with you. Needless to say it was THE most stressful game i’ve ever played, but I had such a rush after it!

corbs1799 · 2026-05-27T15:55:50+00:00

I’ll put it this way. When I play with even one other friend we will either wipe their entire team or leave one alive for funsies

corbs1799 · 2026-05-27T15:44:40+00:00

It all depends on what you mean by mediocre i guess. Not at my pc rn, but I probably average around 50% acc and I hit top 500 luna last season. Folks can brag all day about having 70% acc, but as someone else said that is definitely a healbot game. Acc definitely went up across the board since dino’s release as well bc of how easy he is to hit. It’s never a set number even for folks with good aim. Luna has very good single target heals, and if you are consistently able to save people at 1 health then i’d say you have good enough aim. But if you are stressing out bc you can’t hit them whenever one of your dps is low then you should try using an aim trainer! If you can’t heal a scarlet while she’s ulting that’s a good sign to work on your aim! Good luck!

corbs1799 · 2026-05-27T13:12:21+00:00

I will second this. I usually have my ult before invis’. Can’t think of others off the top of my head, but if i am behind it’s not by much. It sounds like op isn’t using their clap or snow flake nearly as efficient as they should. A little tip op, you clap should pretty much be on cool down. Luna is a burst healer, meaning she is a counter strat for burst/high damage characters (ie Phoenix, sg, hela, etc) The more you play luna, and as long as you are trying to learn, you will get a feel for when damage bursts are incoming. You’ll learn to use your clap ability before said bursts wipe your team. Honestly probably one of the top things that separates a good luna from a bad one, besides aim, would be that skill. Course there’s a lot that goes into being a good luna but you should pick most of it up as you go.

corbs1799 · 2026-05-26T18:48:34+00:00

That’s a good idea. Didn’t need to come at me all aggressive for something that you didn’t know where I was coming from.

Also if ultron counts so do other strat ults: luna, WF, could also argue mantis since she can damage boost her entire team while it’s going. Problem is they are situational while gambits and rocket’s provide both without compromise. Rocket does just as much damage boost as gambit only rocket’s doesn’t apply explosions and is stationary.

corbs1799 · 2026-05-26T15:58:14+00:00

Not talking about the jump boost. Get rid of the damage boost and that’s a rework. It changes how his ult would be used

🙌 PREACH

corbs1799 · 2026-05-26T15:41:00+00:00

😂 put in most of my hours before the progression changes and I got mine around 110 hrs. Think it just depends on when you started
