Give him the ability to choose when to drop his cages kinda like a viper orb so it has to stay up for a second or to. Its probably not enough to even out him and killjoy, but it could help him be better in some situations.
i think instead of a cam, u have like an active cam that watches constantly so u dont have to be on and also if it shoots that would be nice. and the trips, instead of 2, make one that has a radius and anyone that goes in it will be detected. for the cages, cypher should have some fun so just turn it into something liike phoenix's moll.y lastly for ult, instead of having to get a kill, just give him a big detaining ult that can clear spaces. anyone in it after the time expires will be detained. i think this is a gud cypher upgrade
I think he needs a rework more than a buff. I have an idea:
Trap Wire (C): I think this is a bit underpowered right now. A better change will be a trap that scans for enemies. When it sees someone it will shoot a slow that can delay the push. Should be 150 credits and 2 charges
Cage (Q): This one is a bit weird. Since it's only useful when used with C ability, I think we should change this as well. Sheriff with ADS will be insane change. You will be able to equip it fast and this can be used to anchor site with your aim. It will have 8 bullets and 100credits per bullet.
Spy Cam (E): This is a good ability but I have a better idea. A get out of jail free card! Kinda like Jett dash, but better. So basically you place two teleport anchors. If you're in range you'll be able to tp away. It charges 20 seconds after used.
Neural Theft (X): This is the worst ult in the game. I have a better idea, an OP that has marshal fire rate! When enemy is hit, it will summon a slow to slow down push. This ult will go well with E ability. It will have 5 bullets and 7 ult points
