This was in a quick play match where we were getting stomped. And recently i’ve been experimenting with unique portals instead of the typical spawn ones .

In this match i thought it would be a good idea to put a portal behind the enemy where they’re not looking hoping they step in it while backing up . At first it kind of worked but then i killed both my supports😭😭

And of course i got flamed in chat about my portal

Even the enemy strange was flabbergasted 😭

Edit: i posted the support POV in the comments since you guys wanna see it 😂😂

Idk if they added anything or if this is relevant. I was confused why there was a check body option .

Me and my duo returned to the game after a long break and decided to do something new and take random photos (we never used a camera before)

So i’ve played first day with him and enjoyed him too much. And honestly i am really happy with how they made a guy who shoots lasers have such an interesting kit . However i’ve seen a lot of people call him either broken or that he doesn’t take skill . Even people comparing him to wanda (just saw a video on TikTok comparing the two kits and even in the comments of that video people are claiming Wanda takes more skill )

Tbh i am kind of fed up with people criticizing a type of play style . Either dive, poke or brawl . Just play what you find interesting the most without shitting on the other playstyle

I find him balanced tbh and it’s really clear his kit rewards good aim . His primary fire is a burst hitscan that people ate comparing to hela and phoenix even though with a burst shot you won’t be always hitting all your shots if a character is moving (actually you need to hit more to the right , that’s what i noticed) and on top of that his kit rewards you be decreasing your cooldown on the ricochet ability if you manage to hite your shots

The beam that everyone is talking about is not that op as it seems . If you just hit the ground you’re missing out on damage . You need to be actually hitting your beam on a target and getting a bit close range . And if you try to jump and hover i found out that it’s a bit risky if they have hitscan since you become a really easy target , even while playing i was able to kill the enemy Cyclops the most during him hovering .the beam that extends to other enemies is also not that huge damage . I mean come on MK was doing the same thing from across the map and people have managed to play around it by just not standing clumped together (i am not sure but i think MK does more damage when his darts hit other targets ) only difference is cyclops has to get close

His ricochet ability is once again an ability that rewards players that hit their shots . People are using it to secure kills in a combo .if you just shoot it at a the ground or wall to hit a group of enemies i don’t think it does that much and honestly becomes a waste

His ULT is really similar to blade and easily avoided
and the more people play against him will easily see the signs that he’s about to ult

I’ve been also testing his movement abilities and occasionally i try to hit divers with the push ability to apply the slow effect just to protect the supports. It’s a bit hard though.

Overall imo i think he’s balanced and not broken as people make him to be. And there’s skill expression to his kit. Sure some of the abilities are easy . You can just shoot the ground with the beam and hit targets like that but that would be trolling tbh .

After the reveal of the cyclops’s role . (Not arguing about which role he fitted in , he still looks cool ) but i think i reached my breaking point at flexing and choosing what the team needs . This game has an absurd amount of dps heroes compared to the other roles (which i kind of get because it’s the most popular) but i am done filling even in qp , mostly because in comp i am fortunate enough to find people play in normal comps and not solo tanking . This is mostly about quick play aka dps only mode . And yes i know it’s only qp and not taken seriously but it’s not fun playing 4 or 5 dps every game just because no one wants to pick supp or tank. I want to play normal games in qp , that’s why i would love for them to just add a separate Role queue mode in quick play.i am
Kind of worried though about the state of the game moving forward because the game had a role problem and now i am seeing people quitting the game entirely or just not wanting to play supp and tank anymore.

To the tank and supp players thank you for your service and hopefully we get more heroes in the future.

Anyways i’ll be practicing my insta lock skills so i can play cyclops at release.
