As a cypher main I may be biased in making this post but I feel his ult is quite.. underwhelming.
Why yes it is only 6 points, comparing it to something like Reyna ult which buffs the agent all around to increase your chance of winning duels drastically and allows you to get INVIS + Insta Heal to snow ball kills. And while Phoenix isn’t great right now, his ult still allows him to pull off some risky, plays and get reliable, accurate info for free.
Then you have Cypher who.. shows the enemy location for like .5 seconds to get this un reliable, half assed info and there aura blinks yellow. Which can sometimes mess you up if the enemy is close and the visual clutter blocks them on ur screen. It feels very underwhelming for an ult considering you have agents that have better info gathering abilty on literal base abilities and you also have the requirement that you need a fresh corpse to even do it.
I feel giving cyphers ult the same effect as Sova recon dart wall hacks for like 2 seconds but globally like current Cypher ult does now would be MUCH better.
I don’t know though, I could just be biased. thoughts?
