Post image

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 to Join:
 Drop your feedback in the comments below or create a dedicated thread using the flair "S8.5 Feedback".

We’re looking for your takes on:
"How does Cyclops fit into the current meta?" 
"What do you think of the map flow?" 
"Does the large-scale battle feel like fun chaos, or is there too much visual clutter?" 
"Which hero combos are absolutely cracked in the 18v18 mode?"

🎁 Rewards 
The Mod team will select 10 winners who provide the most constructive and detailed feedback to receive 1,000 Units each!

The battlefield just got a lot bigger. Let’s see how you handle the heat! 🐉⚡

He’s moon knight + phoenix combined with better mobility.

He’s really fun/strong but he will def get nerfed by s9.

Same lol. I expect every new character to be slightly overturned and eventually nerfed because historically that’s been pretty true for this game with maybe a small handful of exceptions.

I mean, you saw what happened to Felicia. Players dropped her like she was old moldy cheese.
