EPTThe obvious fix is to disable the regular weapon when lock-on is active. Or just increase the regular weapon range to 7 to match the lock-on range.

We also tested by casting Lock-on Skill manually, still, it casts it's lock-on on range of 5! This isn't true, and can be verified in a unit tester. ![[image loading]](https://i.imgflip.com/yqkms.gif) Excuse the low quality GIF (I have no idea what I'm doing), but here you can see a Cyclone locking on to an Archon at Range 7, in contrast to a Reaper attacking an Archon at Range 5. One thing I did notice is that although the Lock On Range is, in fact, 7, the Cyclone is kind of stupid and wants to keep charging at the Archon until it is at Range 5. While you can avoid that by simply controlling the Cyclone, I agree that Blizzard should remove this behavior in a future patch. | ||

Playing around further in the unit tester, it seems the best way to avoid this behavior is to shift-queue both locking on and moving away.

Something is bad about the basic design if there is no middle ground between op and useless. Yeah they nerfed it because they don't want people mass cyclone.Compare with disruptor you can't mass it too because in direct engage you can't micro too much ball while you micro other unit but in small number they are very cost effect if use correctly. And cyclone.....Like disruptor it's very bad when en masses but when you build small number it's nowhere has the same impact as disruptor despite same cost and supply. Even with current issue disruptor's design is much better than cyclone imo. | ||
