I thought the majority of the Cycler's problems stemmed from the Rexo buff. Before that you couldn't soak up as much damage and it made the Cycler a viable option based on what I've heard.
Personally, I liked the Cycler. It was clearly the worst of the 3 empire specific weapons but that didn't stop it from being effective. If you could consistently hit your shots on a target >30M out you would be bound to gank them very fast.
Someone put it as "The Cycler is the best gun when you're not getting shot at" But then again which gun isn't good in that situation. Overall, people feel the need to bitch about random shit in an attempt to make them feel better about themselves for sucking at a game.
The Cycler sucks, but not as bad as most people make it out to be. Same can be said about the current Lasher. And I play VS, oh my God!!!! How strange of me to actually agree that the weapon is not as bad as everyone else thinks!!! I think some people should take notes.
