As expected, most players agreed with this sentiment, calling out Riot for overbuffing Cypher with his last update. In fact, ranked VALORANT<\/em> games have come to a point where all players can think about in the agent select screen is having someone on their team who can break Trapwires. Team compositions and maps don\u2019t matter anymore as long as we have an agent like Raze, Sova, or KAY\/O who can counter the spy.\u00a0<\/p>
Interestingly, some players were not too sure about whether Cypher should get a nerf. According to them, it\u2019s very easy to break his Trapwires. \u201cHe is not like KJ where you can place things literally anywhere for info and has nanos that can be used as mollies. Once countered, Cypher is almost useless in terms of utils,\u201d one player wrote\u2014and truth be told, it does make sense. Killjoy has a few advantages over Cypher, letting you use her kit much more creatively to dodge counterplay. Cypher\u2019s trap placements are slightly easier to predict.\u00a0<\/p>
