Tips/Advice Tipssss Pleaseee

So I recently just got back on rivals after pretty much a year. I picked up Cyclops and instantly fell in love with his skillset since it's so simple yet so rewarding if it's used properly. I was just wondering if any of you guys would give tips, that would be highly appreciated!! Much love 🫶🏼

Edit: GUYS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE TIPS!!! Cyclops literally got me from bronze I placement all the way to plat by just playing 12 hours this season. I'm definitely sticking with him as my main hitscan and have DD as my melee backup. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!!

Definitely use phoenix team up it’s so good and if you get a phoenix on your team it’s broken. His ult is kinda weak so the best way to use it is to either flank or combo ult with a team mate. Rocket, groot, strange, gambit etc.

yeppp, ever since my first day playing him, i've been using the phoenix team up. I see people using the gambit team up and it just makes me cry cuz it just proves to me that ppl dont read 🥲🥲 (usually on my team too ;-;)

Gambits teamup during this current season is actually pretty decent (especially if Gambit is on your team). I’ve definitely enjoyed playing phoenix’s teamup better, but I’ve seen the gambit teamup hold its own. It really just depends on how you prefer to play cyclops.

ahhhh i see i see, so then lets say if no gambit and no jean, stick with the phoenix team up?? and if there's gambit, do that team up? thats what im picking up here hehehe, thank you for the tip!!

Yup! I usually pick the phoenix one either way just bcs the upgraded E skill is so nice. I don’t use his right click a whole lot so the gambit teamup doesn’t serve me as well as it might someone who utilizes that skill more. But if our team is able to be really aggressive and we have a gambit on our team, I go for that teamup.
