Cypher needs a buff, and here is the changes I would make.

P.S. sorry my english may not be that great.

Cypher is my favourite Sentinel but it's more or less the weakest agent in the game. I feel it needs a buff and here are some ideas.

Q - Cyber Cage

Cyber Cages are not the best, but they are cheap so I don't think it's unfair. But I feel they should make these changes and increase the price a bit perhaps.

  • The Cyber Cages should be able to picked up in the middle of the round.
  • They should last a bit longer, maybe 7s >> 10s or something like that.

E - Spycam

I feel Spycam is pretty balanced and doesn't need a buff.
I'm going to leave this section without any suggestions.

C - Tripwire

  • WHY DO THEY TAKE SO LONG TO ACTIVATE? It's 3 whole seconds I believe, and I feel this time should be shortened by atleast a second.

X - Neural Theft

Cypher's Ultimate is really the worst ultimate in the game, apart from Omen of course.

  • I'd just say the ultimate should not just reveal the enemy location just once, but maybe a few times.
    • Alternatively, maybe enemies should be tagged with the marking dart of the spycam. However this may be too overpowered especially considering the fact that it takes a bit to remove the dart and Valorant's walls are made of paper.

These are just my thoughts. I really hope Cypher gets some kind of buff because he's just not a viable option for most players right now.
