Idea: Crypto as a Jamming Specialist
1. Passive or Tactical Ability: Signal Jammer
• Crypto deploys a jamming emitter via his drone in a small radius (about 10–15 meters).
• Enemies inside this radius can’t send pings and have limited minimap information (e.g., blurred or missing enemy icons).
• Lasts 8–10 seconds with a fairly long cooldown for balance.
⸻
2. Ultimate: EMP Jam
• A large EMP-like effect that disrupts all enemy gadgets, scanners, and abilities within a radius (about 20 meters) for 6–8 seconds:
• Enemies can’t use active abilities (similar to Seer’s ult but shorter duration).
• All drones (including Crypto’s) inside the radius get disrupted or disabled.
• Enemies receive a “Jammed” status that prevents them from sending pings for about 2 seconds.
⸻
3. Drone Synergy
• While airborne, Crypto’s drone emits a weak jamming signal that slightly reduces enemy scanner ranges (like Bloodhound or Seer) or delays enemy pings.
• Adds more utility and a defensive playstyle for Crypto.

Benefits & Gameplay Impact
• Strengthens Crypto’s role as a strategic controller and information disruptor.
• Provides counterplay against meta legends that rely heavily on pings, scanners, and mobility.
• Encourages team-oriented play and map control.
• Fits perfectly with Crypto’s hacker and drone background.
