He deserves the buff + indirect buffs so much. His early game is nothing againts meta mage, so he really need those direct + indirect buffs

[@ente_isla5221]

They should add an additional mechanic in Cyclops's ultimate which gives vision of the target's location for a few seconds after they get immobilized (by the ult)! I think that will be a great and decent buff for him additionally as well!

[@mzxpzx67]

i've also suggested this before in MLBB's forum page. it just makes no sense why his ult doesn't show the position of whoever it hits. it's also a weak-ass ult compared to something so grand like Odette or Vale or something very good in utility like Luo Yi or Nana.

[@ente_isla5221]

@@mzxpzx67 fax.... Odd they didn't implement such a seemingly important feature all these years! Besides It's only fair since his ult is not an AoE skill like the other mages u mentioned!

[@chobrochan2618]

And maybe a little reduce to the foreswing or backswing of his first skill

[@SGgunGnir]

It would've been nice if that has an arrow pointing the marked ult hero like phovues

[@AevyCh]

Cyclops will be a great pick if only his Ult can reveal the target. Currently enemies can just stay in Bush & Cyclops can't do anything about it. 2:22 is the perfect example for this.

[@CandyMachine5000]

Your comment is edited , can't be trusted and agreee

[@peebeemoa]

yeah still remains as a tier 2 mage never the meta for a loooonggg time. ever since skill 2 was nerfed (Chasing speed of balls reduced)

Did anybody notice that Mike wazowki was there

[@panhaseth4000]

Bro just use skill 2

[@panhaseth4000]

He just didnt have his skill 2

[@nezu9585]

Cyclops is kinda like karina in snowballing. Once you're fed its an easy game with good rotations especially. I know a lot of people hate him but with the right user hes an excellent addition to team fights.

[@reizshfelonia6471]

I would prefer him to be hidden gem so he won't be on the radar. He is a counterpick most of the time because his skillset is very strong against assassin users.

[@justsomerandompeople4353]

yes cyclops is very strong even facing assasin like nata,haya,ling or even lancelot just use ult will scare them away and if melissa is your night mare just do the same it will force them to avoid getting caught in teamfight which i found it very usefull also for running away like argus ult wait for the right timing to trap him also secured kill, thamuz lapu2 and so on.

[@yourwakeupcall510]

Bro cyclops is just that a hidden gem. Probably one of the best made hero's when you master him. He's got what I call, flow. When you get just bappin that skill2 and bouncing, ult , skill2, skill1, flameshot if u got it and it's just a wrap for whoever was on the tail end of that mess lmao

[@IsoyaYasuji]

Cant wait for the MLBB X Monster Inc. Collab 👁️

[@fahriagung-_.]

0:05 yeah cyclops 🤩😆

[@ser-c2n]

I think he can also equip Queen's Wing/Oracle + Brute Force Breastplate and discard the boots for other damage item at late game for better sustain

[@幽玄-x7s]

Discarding boots is not recommended since you will lose the 10% cdr and queen's wings or oracle also not recommended. As you are supposed to prioritize damage, not sustain and Concentrated energy gives enough regen. You can use brute force for defense as it gives extra cdr and mov speed.

[@ken_dough]

Agree that cyclops is a bruiser mage, i tried building him with CoD, Talisman and Concen Energy, CDR emblem and boots is a must though and add with festival of blood and high and dry

[@ser-c2n]

Cyclops will never stop being menace to player, doesn't matter if it's Mayhem or Classic mode.

[@karmoto8280]

As a Cyclops main there are so many possibilities what build and emblems I can use, if I want early high mana regen I go for common emblem. If I want early spellvamp I go for fighter emblem with festival of blood (16% spellvamp) for extra defense and sustainability. Mage emblem if I want cooldown reduction and assassin emblem for GOOD damage in lategame (Penetration > Mage emblem's magic power)

[@fahriagung-_.]

10:00 Tortured Moskov XD

[@oddyru]

Can’t wait for Beto to make another video with Cyclop

[@yazyaz2969]

Cyclops range is short and if you don't build sustain he's kinda squishy and easy to be picked off

[@thomasbadocchi3008]

It's true that Cyclops struggles in the early game compared to other mages but with CD reduction emblem and items in mid/late game he can be very dangerus, you can spam second skill and ult with no problem thanks to the CD reduction making him very strong in team fights since he can go in and out a fight constantly with the low CD of his skills, even though he is a unique mage I think he is a very solid pick right now

[@peebeemoa]

versatile mage but never been the meta. cuz instead of picking dps mage like Cyclops it's better to pick utility mages with more cc. basically cyclops is a magic marksman

[@Sigma_Luffy1111]

@thomasbadocchi3009 everyone became negatives, you're one of few positive in the comment section

[@arkannon1682]

At this rate, with how they keep increasing his spell vamp plus cyclops being known for having a defense item or two in his build, Cyclops seems more like a bane-esque exp laner now rather than a mid laner mage 😅

[@thiacynchen426]

He never is a good mid-laner after monotone changed the 2 jungle blue buff into 1 blue and 1 red. He might have potential in gold lane, but he is best for jungler. Not really sure how he can work as an exp-lamer.

[@blackemperor3225]

10:05 i think being the jungler role for cyclops is better for someone like me, who use cyclops as a jungler the unique passive of concentrated energy can spam especially you always the blue buff and it's also give him fighting chance especially that he can easily burst his enemy.

[@jhuzchea6403]

I tried to play Cyclops in classic to day to try my new build and what a surprise no one wanted to play the core role, so I played as a core Cyclops with overflowing lifesteal 😂😂 Alpha regret to mess up with me hahaha early alpha vs. late game Cyclops

[@stricken5690]

Increase the targeting speed of his balls! It's so frustrating to see the enemy's health go back up just because the last ball is still on my ass and hasn't hit yet. They can also upgrade his ultimate to a stun instead of an immobilize. It's a very slow-travelling ult and all you get is immobilize? Instead of using it to chase, I mostly use it just to last hit since its damage is decent but its utility is garbage.

[@infernocus3671]

He is better as a jungler rather than a lane hero. He just needs assistance in the jungle in the early game and he will go brrrrrr later

[@thiacynchen426]

Yep, technically beast and unkillable in mid game and late game as a jungler. I don't think he has what we need as a mid-laner, such as aoe cc, aoe damage, zoning ability and so on.

[@kiki9791]

So, gold laner it is

[@thiacynchen426]

@@kiki9791 Emmm…probably can work though. Never try it then.

[@hskdjh421]

​@@kiki9791 if he's placed in gold lane, make sure your exp laner or jungler has the ability to push lane. Because unlike mm or gold lane Harith, his damage to towers is kinda weak.

[@cyberyt_16]

"Have you tried cyclops as a jungler?" Betosky: *Yes*

[@Demoninst]

Cyclops just need 30% CD Reduction and you can spam skills making him really strong on Mid-Games, after you can get Genius Wand and see the increased damage on every 1v1 scenario. (also can 1v1 lunox somehow)

[@mafimok]

I like using him with the fighter emblem for maximum spell vamp. Since yeah, he is a bruiser. And I would pick him if the enemy line up got a lot of backline divers.

[@Sigma_Luffy1111]

same bro, I usually pick xavier for mage, but when my team is full of squishy heroes, then I would pick cyclops, because you can't rely on your squishy teammates to be tank, or to pick tank

[@laghoable]

Thank you for sharing....I was having a hard time with this latest update, only could play with jungler role. Couldn't perform doing mid lane.

[@Jay_Shawn_Green]

Elgin, could you please talk about Valir? I've noted if you underestimate the new change on his Firsk Skill he can easily burst you down! And using Festival of Blood with Concentrated Energy makes him very hard to kill.

[@LegiondaryRevenant]

Betosky is just drueling once hes seen this buff

[@AllenTheAnimator004]

If you're having trouble with mana,you can use common emblem and replace Enchanted Talisman with other items like glowing wand

[@Sigma_Luffy1111]

may be it's actually like this "if you're having trouble with damage, ...

[@hskdjh421]

I think Enchanted Talisman is a staple item to Cyclops because of its 20% CDR and mana regen. The regen you get from common emblem alone won't be enough in late game.

[@arsonexc]

1:22 I have played ML for 5 years and this is the first time I've seen the image up close, I always thought it was a skull and not a lion.

[@Valome_Virtual_Gravedigger]

I thought it was a random ass seal

[@nomorehacking8]

I thought it was an armor

[@thisismypast9913]

Reason is because he cannot use his passive skills without hitting enemies that is why he needs to be in a mid fight range, he is actually op in the past not sure why he isn't popular anymore.

[@namesxing]

The new cyclop buffs are just... absolutely nutty..

[@SGgunGnir]

Cyclops is a versatile mage, you can use him as a support or a hyper but what he lacks probably sustainability in battle, if the enemy has any high mobility hero especially hanzo... He's not the strongest pick but being a support mage is my favorite

[@kentzy4277]

I think what cyclops can't still be in the meta because 1: He has to be a bit close to the enemy to deal damage forcing him to be in unfavorable position 2: He can't give vision. Yes by using first skill and looking at the cooldown of his skills you may know that there is an enemy but you still would not who. 3: He does not has the means to to target the ememy backlines like other mages like meta heroes like Pharsa, Yve, Novaria and the likes. The only way he can be in a meta is to have a vision skill like for example his second skill if the enemy is close enough it can attack those in range and reveal them or his Ultimate where it will reveal all the enemies in range and will target the closest enemy

[@galim9342]

Vision is supposedly tank/fighter role, and if cyclops got close.. all the meta heroes you've mentioned is just a minion to cyclops.. dude got no cd (for teamfights) and high lifesteal with decent damage in late game..

[@kentzy4277]

@@galim9342 I don't know but Cyclops weakness is instant burst damage and in late game a single combo of Pharsa of stun and Ult could instantly destroy Cyclops

[@Aryues]

best cyc build is semi tank i think, bcoz just like u said he play like fighter

[@Valome_Virtual_Gravedigger]

Hey Elgin, I got a video idea. Can you try Spellvamp/Lufesteal Esmeralda? I don't have strong emblems to make it work

[@irun_mon]

I've tried Cyclops couple of times since his buff, ive tried multiple emblems, assassin, mage, support and common but he's not enough. The damage is just ok not amazing, CC basically nonexistent since it's on his ulti. He can easily counter by yve and pharsa, his sustain doesn't work when the enemy is far away

[@Valome_Virtual_Gravedigger]

Did you try jungle with rushed Genius?

[@jw7207]

Too weak, cyclops jungle is easily countered when enemy invade, cyclops clear jungle way too slow compared to other junglers out there.

[@butao5761]

Is bargain hunter really worth it for second slot emblem? Its 5% discount is just too negligible to be useful, you could have other talents which could be useful even in the late game

Not at all, he's a very bad mage cuz of his range. Very vulnerable

[@GayosoNerfGabriel]

For me Cyclops is strong but one stun can make him very vulnerable in team fights since he only relies on his skills. Core Cyclops is very strong since he can use the ultimate in jungle creeps, turtle and lord but it needs a good tank and support to make him very strong.

[@yatharthagarwal99]

0:15 Is the Mike Wasaouski skin real!? (I have stopped playing since a couple of months but still enjoy Elgin's videos)

[@vittumadam45]

I think Cyclops just need less mana use for the skills nothing crazy but just like 50 less mana usage

[@Sigma_Luffy1111]

As cyclops main, I think cyclop's buff doesn't change his pick rate(may be a little, cuz of buff some players may try cyclops), but new concentrated energy is indirect buff to Cyclops, because of that Cyclops may rise to good hero(if not meta)

[@Isoolated_Irl]

Lol buff, he need farm to be effective in mid game fkin no early as well as late , where new mages like Xavier, novaria dominate from start to late..

After getting Concentrated Energy, I think it's better to buy Magic Crystal next. I don't know why players don't bother building it as a 2nd or 3rd item. Even some of the "Pro" recommended Battle Set-Up for mages don't include Magic Crystal in their build. I'm like, "Bro.. Are you even really a Pro?"

[@zannel21x]

I tried common emblem for cyclops unli mana but there’s cons 😢

[@hanisrosli5484]

Lack raw magic power?nahh common emblem still give decent 22adaptive power means magic power to cyclop,and with the extra 275 plus base hp,cyclop its durable in early game,use cdr talent to maximize her cdr to 45% with common cyc item,use festival blood for more impressive lifesteal/sustain and impure rage for sustain dps damage and more mana recovery for entire match time,just pen its a bit lack but remember cyc its a dps damage dealer so its not a very big issue compare with burst one shot combo mage who are need almost all pen available to sure kill the enemy in just one combo
