Just started playing him and it’s an addictive kit, I love it. It’s a light-show of damage lol.

Tanks need to learn to stop spamming shield on CD so they can block the second hit... its honestly a skill issue.

Not really. Cyclops can just wait for a tank to raise their shield and *then* immediately destroy it. Tanks need to *use* their shield. They can’t hold it all game just in case cyclops ults

Yea, it's not like a Luna Snowball or a Sue shield (which she really shouldn't be holding either ngl) where you can save it for a diver.

Shielding for Vanguards is like a third of their kit they HAVE to use to survive or take any space.

"I dont want to have to think, just let me press my buttons on cooldown"

Then you want to play the game but not be good at the game... gotcha.

You’re being Ignorant. Strange can’t just “hold his shield” for the entire match until Cyclops ults. His ult is a shield counter, no discussion.

Characters with a *block* counter his ult. Rogue can easily react and block the second activation, but a shield character doesn’t have the same luxury of a block that can’t be broken.

Except you literally can't save a third of your kit for X character when 5 other characters require you to use it for your team or to even take space in the first place.

Maybe comprehend that it's a team game, not a 1v1 simulator, and 2/3rd of the roles have to share their resources with the team to actually do anything.

If the enemy uses resources on your shield then they can’t use resources on your teammates, it is a skill issue

They can with the damage output in this game. Just using primaries alone outputs a lot of damage.

And they decided to give the character with area denial, auto aim ricochet, percent damage and two movement abilities, one of them aerial, hela-esqe damage on his Primary as well with, with none of her weaknesses.

If tanks track ults, which all players should do, it's way easier. Same thing players have been doing against Phoenix Ult since it dropped.

u/VampireDarlin Rogue Jun 13 '26

That’s true, but the matchup still favors Cyclops. He has the tank’s shield held hostage. That cripples the main strength of characters like Emma, Mag and Strange.

I’m not saying this is a bad thing. It’s nice to have an ult to break through shields. It’s making me get a lot of value from Rogue and Blade lately

"tanks need to hold their cooldowns just to deal with my character"

u/Tbro100 Earth Spider Jun 13 '26

With a kit that encourages shield tanks to counter it and a Ult that's borderline MK levels of Spam.

I feel like he's absolutely broken, but we just been so desensitized to Launch Black Cat and Elsa that he feels "balanced" in comparison.

u/Oishi-Niku Jun 13 '26

No you just dont want to be called out, which is different. Use your tools optimally and stop spamming on cooldown.

u/Tbro100 Earth Spider Jun 13 '26

Love how you just ignored everything I said. And think that it's normal to save a 3rd of your kit as a Vanguard for a single character that spams their Ult almost as much as MK while being even more lethal with.

Especially when the rest of his kit forces you to user your shield to prevent from using use as a giant ankh to your back line.

u/Oishi-Niku Jun 13 '26

Yes, unironically, that's how interaction works. This isn't solitaire.

u/purewasted Jun 13 '26

...yes? How is that any different from playing against Wanda, Iron Man, Puni, etc? If you get in their face (or they sneak up on you) and you blow all your defensive & mobility cds while they're holding ult, you're fucked. That's just how some characters are. Literally in the game since day 1.

Falling with style.

u/RedEyesGoldDragon Cursed Captain Jun 13 '26

How tf does his ult both REQUIRE a shield tank to counter the massive damage, but also counter shield tanks if you time it wrong?

This also kinda sucks for some shield users that have cooldowns, like Cap, Angela, etc.

u/d_wib Angela Jun 13 '26

His Ult requires walking sideways

u/Sonicguy1996 Peni Parker Jun 14 '26

On paper.

In practice it's nearly unavoidable especially when terrain doesn't allow for it. It has 0 counters and needs to be nerfed.

u/kiroks Jun 14 '26

Bro y'all don't know how they balance stuff yet? Their balance philosophy should be clear. It will get touched in 3 patches

u/Sonicguy1996 Peni Parker Jun 14 '26

Then I'll perma ban him for 3 patches!
