For the past few months, Cypher has been gradually dropping down from being the number 1 choice Sentinel. Why choose him when you have someone that can lock a site completely like Killjoy or someone as flexible as Chamber who has a kit that allows him to barely get punished? Not to mention how good those 2 are at holding the flank as well.

Let's break down Cypher's kit real quick and discuss the rework ideas that I came up with and collected from around reddit too.

(Camera) - "Spycam" (E):

• Have more flexible spots to be placed without the need of line-ups (Including Upside down on roofs).

• Longer range for placement.

• A bit of health like Sova's Drone or Raze's Boombot.

• Instant invisibility after unequiping.

• Extra zoom option.

• See temporary footprints.

• Left click shoots projectiles that deal 5 to 15 damage (Inspired by that old Camera-Gun glitch).

• Right click shoots the ping dart instead.

• Ability to ping at least 2 enemies before breaking.

• Equip/Unequip quicker.

​

(Smoke) - "Cyber Cage" (Q):

• Lasts longer.

• Sticks to walls to have the ability to be placed horizontally or Upside down (Like Trapwires).

• Spreads wider.

• Equip/Unequip quicker.

• Temporarily disables abilities of enemies passing through.

​

(Trap) - "Trapwire" (C):

• Increase amount to 3.

• Stuns and deals damage sooner.

• Have more flexible spots to be placed without the need of line-ups.

• Catches more than 1 person passing through it.

• Extends longer and through walls.

• Temporarily disables abilities of enemies passing through.

​

(Ultimate) - "Neural Theft" (X):

• Scan enemies sooner.

• Increased distance of usage to get slightly far corpses.

• Stuns everyone temporarily like the Trapwire.

• Temporarily disables abilities.

• Temporarily shows enemies through walls and on the mini-map like Sova's Recon Dart instead of
where they were last standing.

Cypher would be more viable after a rework. I'm not saying to implement every suggestions listed here, but at the least, consider some. Let me know what you guys think in the comments, and also if you have your own takes on a possible Cypher Rework.
