Crypto & Tree
To be honest, I really do enjoy playing Crypto and I main him. I feels like Crypto can have much significant merit at World Edge map if they just add tree into it. At King Canyon, I can easily conce...

@StarMystroTo be honest, I don't think other legend need any improvement in the environment to take advantage out of it with the exception of Crypto & Loba.
For Loba, they can just basically design a layout with dead end with a small frame of window, hole and etc that allowed Loba to throw her jump drive. This allowed her to loose her pursuer while driving the pursuer to corner for an easy kill by another enemy squad, basically bait the enemies to suicide spot.
I manage to do that once by baiting 3 enemies into a room at Bunker area in King Canyon map, they basically dies slowly inside the room when another caustic throw the gas trap to sealed the only entrance. :D
Crypto is the only Legend I don't play as he's just unfun to play his drone is just annoying it should only have an active ping so unless he's connected to it and actually pushes a button the same as bloodhound scan making the drone silent it has thrusters it will never be silent as it has the ability to scan through walls it should not be able to open doors it should also take environmental damage so if you run it into a tree it takes damage it should also have a maximum deployment time as it will require refueling leave it deployed too long and it runs out of fuel and crashes the controls for the drone and also a mess
Ahh @Hilshire12 You gotta let yourself get in the brain of Crypto though! It's not a Legend for everyone, that much is true. His drone requires extra handling on the player's part, but the payoff can be extraordinary. Knowing the enemies exact location -and in real-time too!- is a very powerful tool in most video games I've played. I'm sure you can relate? So it's gotta have some kind of drawback -like the sounds the Drone makes- as you mentioned.
And being a Surveillance Expert, Crypto can guard -or monitor an area, such as a flank, by leaving his Drone carefully in the environment; So it helps having no timer on this ability, as it already can be shot down and un-usable for a duration.
- @StarMystro I would rather have the drone turn into silence mode if it remain stationary for 10 seconds and doesn't alert the enemies unless the enemies is Crypto legend as well.
Turning it into an excellent CCTV to cover flank.- @DrSeptimus Ah that is a very nice idea, as it requires much planning on the part of Crypto- Plus enemies would know they're being scanned the moment they're in range of the Drone anyways.
- @Hilshire12 Crypto already have many drawnback at current stats, the drone have a very long cooldown upon destroy, very fragile to bullet and the ultimate is render useless if the drone is destroy.
Not to mention that legend such as bloodhound and certain sight can easily unveil a well hidden drone.
It also have strong reliance on using environment to conceal itself, map such as World Edge have literally 0 cover for it making the drone particularly pointless as it would be destroy in a second.
This is more than enough reason why Crypto usage by the community is below 2%, it doesn't need additional drawback such as running out of fuel or taking environmental damage.
Even you yourself admit you don't play it.
