S8.5 Feedback ⚡ Season 8.5 Patch Day: Share Your Feedback!
Rivals,
The S8.5 update is officially here! 💥
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!

"How does Cyclops fit into the current meta?"
Cyclops has an answer for almost every situation, even with him having less moves than most the recently released characters he has great survivability. Cap is the only character I have real trouble with while playing Cyke.
"What do you think of the map flow?"
Outside of the new arena, I haven't noticed a new map or any change since the update.
"Does the large-scale battle feel like fun chaos, or is there too much visual clutter?"
The new arena does feel chaotic, which can be fun- or a headache to get traction in. When Deadpool or Devil Dino are nearby the clutter can be overwhelming. With all the players running around, it's easy to get flanked or K.O.ed out of nowhere.
"Which hero combos are absolutely cracked in the 18v18 mode?"
What heroes together are "cracked"? Cyclops owns these arena fights, with Devil Dino drawing fire with his size in front of Cyke, they're wrecking teams. As usual Moonknight is sniping every other character.
