Cyclops' Elegant Eye costume arrived in Marvel Rivals' August 21 store rotation. Less than two weeks later, NetEase's September 3 patch added an option letting owners of that costume remove its cape entirely — free for anyone who already owns the skin. (Marvel Rivals)
On paper, that's about as minor as a patch note gets. But players had already been vocal about the costume's flowing cape getting in the way. A highly upvoted Reddit thread argued it obstructed aiming during jumps, and other Cyclops players complained about the cape filling parts of the screen or producing distracting cloth sounds. Those are player reports rather than confirmed mechanical disadvantages, but they explain why a simple cape toggle drew more attention than its size in the patch notes would suggest. (Reddit)
