\u201cI think he\u2019s very prevalent,\u201d Morello said. \u201cCypher\u2019s a good point of conversation here\u2026 I\u2019d like to find ways to shift some of that power or do more clever nerfs.\u201d<\/p>
Morello also said the devs have been \u201cbacked up\u201d with the upcoming Sage and Breach changes, which have been taking the majority of their focus. But Cypher will potentially be tweaked in a future patch.<\/p>
It\u2019s unclear what the nerfs would be and when they may happen. But it doesn\u2019t seem like simply increasing the cost of his traps is the direction Riot would take. To tone down Cypher\u2019s outstanding map control and one-of-a-kind anti-flank kit, the devs would definitely need to think of something creative.<\/p>
The gadgeteer is invaluable to any team comp, especially in pro play where coordination and skill are at the most elite level. With Cypher being the most used agent in the PAX tournament, it doesn\u2019t seem like that statistic will change in future competitions unless he\u2019s dramatically nerfed.<\/p>
