If Riot is trying to make agents in similar roles equally viable:
for the sentinel/anchoring role:
Viper gets a whole wall for Cypher's Spy Cam (55:45)
Viper gets 2 mollies for 2 trips (50:50)
Viper gets the smoke that can be picked up and does vulnerabiltity for 2 cages that make noise (cant be picked up. last 8 seconds) (60:40)
Viper gets Viper's Pit to Cypher Neural Theft (65:35) (cypher ult underrated asf. as an instant cypher ult user, its so fkn good in mid round)
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
additionally, all of cypher's stuff is revealed when suppressed and all cypher stuff can be shot while viper's stuff cant (even more of a bonus)
nice balancing...
