What is the MCOC Communities overall thoughts on Cyclops?

Barrier Reef

Just wondering if anyone knows of any more beneficial uses for him, worth ranking him up, etc...

This is too easy. Anybody want to bring up Miike's take on Cyclops?

winterthur

How to dig that up?

Edit: Found it here

belli300

He’s clearly the most effective option for aw and aw way better than blade or Corvus Glaive.......according to kabam miiiiiiiike! 😂

SKOutsider

Best champ in game.

@Kabam Miike has to be thanked for his insight into champs.

I’m still trying to figure him out myself.

Lab runs are taking longer than expected but confident that I’ll get the hang of things soon.

Best AW attacker 2018-certainly 2030

ZzyzxGuy

He is extremely effective.

Appleisgod

Some people use him VERY effectively in aw. Just remember that

EnderDraco58

Decent for an unblockable sp1 node, otherwise pretty much useless.

Maat1985

he is not as bad as most make him out to be......

TheSquish671

So that's where the 'cyclops is very effective in AW' thing came from?

EnderDraco58

I mean, if you're looking for a cool high combo to post on the forums, then he's ok for that too. His sp3 has 45-60 hits I think, and it doesn't do much damage, meaning you can stack them up for a really big combo.

The comment was that, among the small number that use him, they use him very effectively.
From a data standpoint, if you were looking at Crit, he is highly effective in that.

Fair enough, I just think Miike gets misquoted in it is all. Somehow it became the most effective in the game. Lol.

Player644

Why would you be upset that Mike was misquoted? Do you work for him???

GroundedWisdom

No, I don't. I just don't like misrepresentation of the facts.

I like how because a small number use him "effectively" he becomes classified as viable to Kabam. AQ isn't even that hard, the better mode to judge a champions effectiveness would be AW, because only the top attackers are brought in.

Mitchell35

VERY effective

Nick_Caine_32

Not great and definitely not great enough to have two identical versions of the champ in the game. Even his main use for unblockable special 1 has been long surpassed in the game and is easy to evade. I would hope that when they finally get around to mutant for a beta that he is one they take a look at. Even some small changes in the monthly update like they used to do would help him. But i can guarantee if they did a data query of how many people across all ratings in this game use him on any game mode, it would show exactly just how relevant and useful he is - next to zero.

Blue Cyclops is fairly fun to play with; but both could do with a rework and better second-medium animations. That leg-drop attack animation is awful.

Their SP3 ought to have an Armour Break on par with Gwenpool's, or an Armour Shattered effect. Particularly given that his Sig is ineffective on an SP3 sure to it not inflicting Critical hits.

DTMelodicMetal

Decent champion by MCOC 2016 standards

Honestly, Miike doesn’t have to be misquoted. Accurately quoting him is sufficient. Ask anyone who is in media/public relations/advertising or generally in the public sphere how carefully they have to choose their words to make sure the right message gets across. The problem with the statement is that it reinforces the view that most advanced players have of some of the staff—namely, that they don’t play or understand the game at a high level. Whether that is true or not is debatable; what isn’t really debatable is that the statement would appear suspect to most seasoned players at a glance.

But I’m willing to be converted on Cyke. Perhaps one of the community members who uses him “very effectively” in difficult content would like to stand up and evangelize.

Why are we even discussing an Arena fodder champ.

Because he's a great example of a fundamental problem in the game: He's one of Marvel's top champions, but (being included since the original release of MCOC), he's totally outclassed by more recent champions, to the point of being - as you rightly put it - arena fodder.

It's actually a fairly important thing to discuss; and it would be great to come to a solution for; at least a better solution than 'let's just churn out new champions that make the ones who are actually famous and draw people to the game more and more irrelevant'.

Darkstar4387

He's okay when duped mainly due to his ability to go unblocakble after 20 hits in a combo which has some use against armor champions but other than that he's not that good or effective.

Other champions can do what he does better and more effective, not sure what kabam Mike was smoking when he said what he said about him though.

mostlyharmlessn

I use him very effectively in AQ now.... Granted it's map 2.... but still he is very effective

Headroller

Blue cyclops has a usable armor break timer.
Critical hits and even through blocks.

Everyone has one so he’s good for synergies.

Not worth ranking up past 4/5 4*
Not worth ranking up past 1/5 5*

Just my thoughts

Thanks!

Most effective champ in the game
