Many ideas have already been discussed, but I truly believe the best way to buff Cypher is to lean into his strengths.
Chamber strengths: high risk / high reward - use yourself as a sentinel
Killjoy strengths: singular site lockdown
Sage strengths: stalling and support
Cypher strengths: information and global flank/lane watching
Here are my ideas:
-
My favorite one - giving the camera an alternate fire. Pressing right-click will take a snapshot of all enemies in its line of sight, which will show the enemies position one time only. It will share a cooldown with the dart, and enemies will not need to remove anything
-
Give camera an alternate mode to stay on. It will passively gather info for your minimap but will be visible to enemies.
-
Only make camera visible if dart is shot or enemies is within a certain distance. Audio cue not removed though.
-
Give Cypher a third tripwire - simple enough, no nerf needed with tripwires already being relatively weak.
Thoughts?

Do people actually think Chamber isn't a "sentinel"?
