Re: Legend Spotlight: Crypto

@EA_David Finally it's here.

Crypto is a fine character that I feel is more of a passive scout who remains in the back while providing visual support of "wall hacks" to their teammates. He can also be turned into a trapper if you manage to set up his drone underneath or behind a wall near enemies and set off his EMP while you rush them.

The EMP does feel big but I feel its justified by how close and easy it is to shoot the drone down while it's charging up. Unless it's hiding behind a door/wall.

I do notice the hands while running which seems odd to me considering he has them in his pockets when viewing him from another legends POV. Than again I believe Wraith has the same issue.

One issue I do have is not really knowing how far 200 meters is. When I see a banner and it says 1-2 enemies are nearby, Not sure where that would be and the information therefor becomes a bit useless to me considering I have no clue where the cut off is visually while moving around up and down with the drone. Like is it 200 meter around the drone or 200 meters around Crypto ?

  • Crypto is great so far but I like to see some small changes to him:

    • Drone should be able to ping items like weapons, grenades, consumables etc. 
    • The Drone should also be able to Ping how many squads are in the area when pinging a Display Banner. Allow Crypo to say things like: "There is 1 Hostile Squad in the area", "There are 2 Hostile Squads in the area". Allow him to say this up to at least 0/1/2/3/4. I have never seen 5 squads alive in an area yet. This doesn't include rank or pro play matches but in pubs that is great information without using a mic or chat. 
    • Allow Crypto to EMP with one hand without cancelling his healing item. If you don't know, Crypto can recall his drone back while healing at the same time. However, Crypto cannot EMP and heal at the same time. It would be great if he could EMP with one hand.
    • Give the Drone at least 30 HP and the Health automatically refills back to 30 if recalled. It gets shot down too fast.
    • Not sure if it possible, but is there a way to increase the Drone sensitive so you can move freely faster. I be dodging bullets as best as I can but it a little too slow sometimes to the point I put the drone against a wall and EMP. 
    • EMP should damage people's shields on the ground if they were worn in the last 5 seconds before the EMP went off. All shields in the area, including the death boxes or shields on the ground for -50. Just like how EMP damage's Wattson's and Octane's ultimate but 50 damage. If that is possible. Then EMP should hit the shields on the ground for -50 too. 

    EMP 30 meter radius is fine to me. 

    It would be great if Drone could see people in Bangalore's Smoke and Caustic's Gas. It actually cannot do that unless the smoke and gas clear a little but. The gas and storm doesn't destroy drone. Another thing I notice is the drone cannot tell if Mirage is a Decoy or see him invisible. I EMP a decoy so many times it not even funny lol. If these are intended it is fine then. I mean, Bloodhound can see people through smoke and gases. So Bloodhound at least has something that Crypto can't do. 

    EMP sometimes doesn't destroy Gibby's Dome Shield. Is that a bug or something? Sometimes I destroy and sometimes it still up.

    @Leo_the_Lion25or if they have no shield on(by the time Crypto has his EMP everyone should have a white) they take 50 damage.
