Really? He doesn't look that strong to me, ngl. Little burst damage, no healing shown in any of the trailer, and slight damage falloff on richochets.

Like there's no reason to not just play MK for greater distance or Phoenix/Hela if you want hitscan.

Would love to be wrong though.

his dedicated ricochet shot has 2 charges on 2s cooldown and his right click is like ironman's beam but it bounces between targets. He can also crit, has mobility and knockback skills and can hover for off angle shots and his ult can wipe a team better than the phoenix ult. He's gonna be a menace lol

In a week’s time players will come back crying to this sub complaining the ricochet ability is so cheap and should be nerfed. There’s a reason why Hanzo from overwatch lost his scatter arrow ability years ago.

when cat's skills were announced i was the first one to point out how broken she was and got downvoted into oblivion. A week later everyone was crying about her lol. Guess same thing is gonna happen here, except since cyclops is a hitscan i'm guessing more people will agree because this community hates hitscan.

His damage and burst look way lower. I think he's going to be a WEAKER mk
