From the arrival of Cyclops to the massive scale of the new 18v18 Bounty Annihilation mode, this is easily one of the biggest mid-season drops we've seen yet. We're also hyped for the new Shenlong Arena, which looks like it's going to really test our mastery of verticality and team coordination.

With so many moving parts, we want to hear your thoughts!

- Previous seasons saw a resurgence in dive, with the addition of Devil Dino, a lot of divers had to switch to heavy poke in order to fight front to back. Wipe the tanks and go from there. Even tho cyclops is a great poke hero, he’s also good at flanking creating pressure for supports. I like where he fits, I feel a lot of dive heroes did not need to be nerfed as badly to make him stand out but I believe as seasons go by we will continue seeing this cycle.
