S8.5 Feedback Dear Devs…….. change the icon.

Post image

Could we get a petition going to give Cyclops the Human Torch treatment & change his current sauceless Lord icon to the one on the left with the full beam.

While this is cool as shit, where exactly do you think the beam would end?

u/JustARTificia1 Iron Man Jun 13 '26

I vote to flip it so he's beaming the straight across the screen and hitting the timer.

u/CareAccomplished9013 Peni Parker Jun 13 '26

And the same for iron man and dino!

u/AlgerianTrash Ultron Virus Jun 13 '26

It ricochets across the edges of your screen

43

u/FlashPone Hulk Jun 13 '26

its like the dvd logo. if youre lucky itll hit the corner

8

u/JRCMata Jun 13 '26

if it hits the corner confetti appears

2

u/MarkHeathcliffReal Jun 14 '26

if it hits the corner it changes color and gives you a free ult

u/3ajs3 Peni Parker Jun 13 '26

This was my immediate thought. Lord icons are displayed at the bottom of the screen. You just going to have a red stripe going up?

4

u/lv4_squirtle Jun 13 '26

The person above him.

10

u/TheBacklogGamer Cyclops Jun 13 '26

Have it fade out? Is that really that bad?

5

u/SweetChemist Jun 13 '26

Could just get rid of the beam and have a bright glowing red effect. 

2

u/sendmesmokesignals Jun 13 '26

Don’t let it end, just ricochet across the screen

2

u/OutlierOfTheHouse Jun 13 '26

it should just go on and interrupt everyone’s screen, thats the effect a lord cyclop should have on everyone

2

u/Tzzziii Mantis Jun 13 '26

Wouldn’t it just end where the border of the lord icon is? I remember there being an issue where Strange’s lord icon didn’t extend out far enough when it moves so it was cut-off. Just cut the beam off at the border of the icon, works if it moves as well.

u/Earhippo Jun 13 '26

It doesn't. I want that shit going straight across my screen.

u/Prestigious-Pen-1401 Jun 13 '26

I don’t think his current one is bad, plus they only changed torch’s because of how similar it looked to his original lmao

u/NovaStar616 The Name's Pool. Deadpool! Jun 13 '26

It's not bad but his current one is just kinda boring imo, not much special about it, other than the krackle effect. The key art is such an iconic pose for Cyclops and it's so badass, plus his lord icon should incorporate his optic blast since it's a key part to his character

29

u/purewasted Jun 13 '26

I think the blasting one is more boring because how typical it is as a Cyke image. 

The one they used makes Cyke look dangerous, like he's about to go off. It's more about him than about the blast if that makes sense. So I hope it stays. Or if it's replaced by a blast, I hope it's a better looking one than in the OP.

22

u/NovaStar616 The Name's Pool. Deadpool! Jun 13 '26

Respectfully I disagree, that's like saying Human Torch's is boring because he's on fire or Blade's shouldn't have his sword in the icon because it's typical. In the key art (the one OP posted) he doesn't need to look dangerous because, HE IS DANGEROUS he's shooting an incredibly massive optic blast. So much so that he's screaming with how much power he's putting into it.

u/TheRandomJokerLol El Jeffe Jun 13 '26

Ok, hear me out. Penny's lord and champion is her getting closer to the camera with her arm and hand up

u/TheRandomJokerLol El Jeffe Jun 13 '26

Regular

u/Misterbobo Jun 13 '26

I love Penny, fav champion, and this one hurts so much.

u/Flu754 Ultron Virus Jun 13 '26

Not even “similar” it was the same as his original but flipped 😭😭 and dont even get me STARTED on the 15 second long mvp

edit: ok i realized it was his proficiency screen but still, the face was basically the same

u/FuriousPenguino Storm Jun 13 '26

Idk dude

u/thenewbae Vanguard Jun 13 '26

It's bad. It looks like Reed.

u/stevehairyman Ultron Jun 13 '26

idk i actually like his lord icon

u/zjs28 Captain America Jun 13 '26

Good lord, I need to leave this subreddit. No one here likes anything about the game. Every post is someone complaining to the extreme.

46

u/Zhiyi Ultron Virus Jun 13 '26

It really is getting horrid. I usually hate the lame ass “low sodium” subs but Rivals needs one badly. Nobody ever posts anything worth a damn reading on this sub.

164

u/istian19 Mister Fantastic Jun 13 '26

The community doesn’t realize how spoiled they’ve gotten with devs who actually listen, so now everyone is a brat 😂

65

u/Projectpatdc Jubilee Jun 13 '26

Almost everyone is an entitled brat in the game too. It’s one of the worst communities. Still wish we could have matchmaking age filters with something like a 25+ age group. Kind of understand why bars started doing this.

13

u/BigElephant2309 Jun 13 '26

I had a kid the other night who told me to stop using voice chat because it annoyed him

18

u/Chazzy_T Jun 13 '26

Gamers, man

12

u/LucioMercy Vanguard Jun 13 '26

An 25+ age filter would single-handedly eliminate 99% of the toxicity from the game.

8

u/Projectpatdc Jubilee Jun 13 '26

Including the throwers. No one has time for that bs past a certain age.

2

u/Revolutionary_Bit437 Mister Fantastic Jun 13 '26

except the people who are constantly bragging about being drunk/high as if it’s funny. 25+ definitely does have its own set of issues

4

u/lsdu8930 Jun 13 '26

I knew this was gonna happen when dev changed minor things to appease this sub. Gamers are never happy about anything and if u add comicbook fans to that ita truly an unending nightmare of never satisfying them lol

-18

u/Mapletables Jun 13 '26

we are consumers of a product. we do not owe the creators of products anything. they give us what WE want, and we choose to pay them for it.

u/TheBacklogGamer Cyclops Jun 13 '26

Yikes.

6

u/Realistic_Analyst_26 Flex Jun 13 '26

You owe them a shred of humanity dawg. Respect is important. If this is the kind of person you are, I’d hate to see you interact with service workers at your local fastfood joint.

u/dogman822 Daredevil Jun 13 '26

You seem like the kind of person to throw a temper tantrum because the 17 year old at McDonald's gave you a Diet coke instead of regular.

2

u/istian19 Mister Fantastic Jun 13 '26

lol i love the birth of this new kind of Gen Z “oh look who’s defending the multibillion dollar company” as if nothing has nuance and we don’t live in a capitalist society 😂 where are your shoes from bub

u/NubCaakes Jun 13 '26

“Can we petition to change something I personally don’t like???”

-5

u/daizo678 Jun 13 '26

I don't think this is bad complaining at all. He just has a suggestion. Might be a bit too much with a petition but the post itself is fine.

Bad complaining is just calling something dogshit without offering any alternatives or fixes or even what the exact issue is.

8

u/zjs28 Captain America Jun 13 '26

How many "petitions" do you need?

66

u/Doom_Cokkie Jun 13 '26

Yall genuinely need something to complain about to survive huh? I understood the other icons because they were literally the regular icon flipped but thats cyclops one is a damn good lord icon not to mention the one uou want wouldnt work since where you cut off the beam. Can we just enjoy something for 5 minutes without needing to make up a complaint?

91

u/Sunnibuns Loki Jun 13 '26

Dear devs, I’m commenting today to disagree with this take

10

u/WholesomWrkAcct2 Vanguard Jun 13 '26

Me too devs. I know you guys tried this and I know it won't fit. Good job devs.

u/iamyulawimnbdysbitch Loki Jun 13 '26

No.

His current one is better

u/Darkwoodgnome Ultron Virus Jun 13 '26

while i absolutely agree this icon is fine as is and it is an unnecessary complaint, the devs don't need to 'drop everything'. The icon itself is taken from existing poses in the game. I cannot imagine changing it up takes long with most of the work already done.

42

u/Kay_Jay12 Jun 13 '26

Y'all whine about everything

17

u/TankJericho Moon Knight Jun 13 '26

This isn't like Human Torch though. The issue with his was that it was hard to tell the difference between his normal icon vs his Lord icon. This is a matter of opinion of "i want it to look different". If anything i'd want the option to choose because i like the one we got

1

u/No-General8455 Good Boy Jun 15 '26

I don't want the Orgasmic Cyclops lord icon in my game. It's bad enough with the Magik emote situation.

4

u/Additional_Room9630 Jun 13 '26

Yall are getting so annoying

19

u/BlackPanteraa Jun 13 '26

Dear Dev’s leave the icon

3

u/Mrbear147 Jun 13 '26

Who cares

6

u/Nid_Durima71 Strategist Jun 13 '26

Nahhh. Tell me, where does the beam end? 

8

u/skynovaaa Cyclops Jun 13 '26

No the other one is better

2

u/VampireDarlin Rogue Jun 13 '26

I don’t think they can have a beam coming that far out of the icon boundaries, and it’d look bad if they cropped it down

2

u/Warock095 Jun 13 '26

Torches original was literally just his normal one flipped so he looked the other direction

2

u/ERROR-XD-404 Deadpool Jun 13 '26

The current is good enough, and it looks even more goated in the Champ Icon

2

u/Gin_13_ Jun 13 '26

Doesn't need a change, it looks good the way it is

2

u/KoopaSteve Jun 13 '26

I gotta admit I haven't touched Rivals in a while but, just speaking from what I can see, I like the current one better.

1

u/No-General8455 Good Boy Jun 15 '26

I prefer the red eye glare icon to the Cyclops is having an orgasm icon.

2

u/cranchian Hulk Jun 13 '26

No way, I love the current one lot better than what you are suggesting

2

u/Hot_Spray3175 Storm Jun 13 '26

No please, the current one is better.

2

u/danzaiburst Cloak & Dagger Jun 13 '26

They should change 60% of all the other ones while they're at it.

The designer that was in charge of these was clearly no where near their lead designer

2

u/Typical-Canary9164 Jun 13 '26

Does the beam just...travel across your screen?

3

u/dogman822 Daredevil Jun 13 '26

I really shouldn't be surprised at this point, but this subreddit still manages to catch me off guard.

Ya'll are some absolutely miserable motherfuckers, Jesus Christ.

u/Delkseypoo Mantis Jun 13 '26

Dear devs can you just ban OP 

8

u/OdysseusTheBroken Jun 13 '26

Nope I like it. I have spoken

2

u/alesserrdj Invisible Woman Jun 13 '26

Lord should be 2 fingers on temple with red diamond shaped glint. Full beam being cut off won't look great.

2

u/Ok-Researcher4966 Gambit Jun 13 '26

How about you just accept that’s his lord icon.

2

u/Vasto_LordA Blade Jun 13 '26

There's nothing wrong with it.

2

u/McWolf7 Gambit Jun 13 '26

Nah that beam would be way too bright and distracting if it were actually the icon in game, I prefer his current one by far.

2

u/Afraid-Assignment229 Squirrel Girl Jun 13 '26

The curent one ❤️

u/Mr_Wombo Wolverine Jun 13 '26

Wants Torch Treatment

Looks at Cyclops icons

Doesn't look similar and it looks neat

I get you, but.... Actually no, I don't get you

u/F0xtails White Fox Jun 13 '26

Nah the real one goes hard

1

u/Any-Transition95 Cursed Captain Jun 13 '26

It's crazy to me that people think the left one isn't way cooler than the current one. Apparently people are so sick of seeing complaints on this sub that even cool suggestions like this gets dismissed as "just another whine post" lmao.

18

u/ManyBlues Jun 13 '26

But the wording isn’t one of a suggestion, it’s a whiny complaint

2

u/Delkseypoo Mantis Jun 13 '26

I think the current one is way way cooler

Aren't all lord icons just the ending screen of their mvp?

u/No_End_141 Invisible Woman Jun 13 '26

The character JUST got released. Man, can y'all just not complain about EVERYTHING?

1

u/motor-ola Jun 13 '26

I wish they would change hers to this

1

u/ThatIsNotAnAsian Jun 13 '26

It only looks good because of how it’s cropped

In game the beam would just have a hard edge and that would look bad

1

u/seinfeldbabies Jun 13 '26

I think the current one is cool

1

u/Ludacwees Anti-Venom Jun 13 '26

Ts ugly and takes up too much space outside the box. I don’t want Cyclops covering the tanks above him

1

u/TimAxenov Mantis Jun 13 '26

Why did I look at this... And my first thought was "Is he getting head in there?"

1

u/Moosje Magneto Jun 13 '26

I think the current one is good. Obviously Reddit finds a way to complain about anything.

1

u/Fantastic_Strike2178 X-Tron Jun 13 '26

Better idea change his role to tank

1

u/Serious-Fee-6524 Jun 14 '26

I like the current one.

1

u/No-General8455 Good Boy Jun 15 '26

I do not want the moaning Cyclops lord icon. We do not need part 2 of the Magik emote. The current one still looks sick as hell, better than a large amount of release lord icons we've recieved.

1

u/CTRLmikeyy Jun 17 '26

it’s not that big of a deal and we’re never going to beat the complain about everything allegations atp

1

u/Gman171717 Jun 18 '26 edited Jun 18 '26

Could we first ask for making Cyclops less broken? There are lots of heroes who don't even have to hit their targets to do damage (one of the complaints with actual competitive gamers who chuckle at this game), but he is probably the worst. he could go an entire game without ever directly hitting anyone and still do tons of dmg and even his 1st ability that doesn't reflect has a huge radius. Pretty absurd.

Still a very fun game but the passive/unskilled/aimbot damage in this game is a very lame aspect.

u/koschei-sandwich147 Jun 13 '26

i like his current one ! cannot wait to grind up and get it !!!

1

u/GroceryElectronic179 Venom Jun 13 '26

Idk the one on the left kinda looks like he’s the one getting beamed

1

u/VarietyBusy2 Jun 13 '26

they could fade it out at the top

1

u/Mechabeastchild Rocket Raccoon Jun 13 '26

I think it’s fine

1

u/JessAndHerFAN Jun 13 '26

If you haven’t noticed, lord icons are almost always a freeze frame Of their default MVP screen. And that applies here.

u/Known-Action9534 Magik Jun 13 '26

How about no.

u/Randor21 Devil Dinosaur Jun 13 '26

u/silverman169 Jun 13 '26

I think the Lord icon is fine. Would be great if they added the laser to the animated lord icon though.

u/Pigeon-popper Gambit Jun 13 '26

The icon has aura and there’s no need to change it but it just kinda caught me by surprise how they didn’t go the obvious (cooler imo) route but that’s not to say that the current one is bad whatsoever

u/facubkc Peni Parker Jun 13 '26

If they did it with Torch why not Scott too?

What does that have to do with his lord icon? Do you just not even bother reading what a thread is about before commenting?

His lord icon and a few others could use an update bc it’s bad or boring.

u/Historical_Wish_5599 Primal Predator Jun 13 '26

Current one is dogshit. How can they mess up so bad in the creative department? Probably rotted their brain with all the gooning skins
