CRYPTO BUFF
I ask that Crypto have to activate the tactical ability twice to control the drone. first activation: launches the drone at a distance of up to 7 meters. second activation: controls the drone. ...
Forum Discussion
@Sir_Named but if you leave the drone simply stopped and scanned the enemy, the enemies destroy the drone, and using Crypto only in this way, leaves Crypto’s skills very limited.
@ADM-REIxSUPREMO Well, they have to actually stop to look at the drone. If you are watching them, you can use the brief opportunity to get in a good snipe.
- @Sir_Named friend, I use all the legends and the legend that I see that most needs a BUFF is Crypto.
The problem is, ever since I entered this forum, I see some people making legitimate points about certain legends, weapons or loot distribution. But instead of people saying "Oh, yeah. You're right", every feedback was immediately diminished with, and I quote: "Get good" - So in other words every forum ever.
I bought crypto not too long ago, and immediately found his ability to be lackluster. To a point where I switched back to bloodhound and I was actually able to move while knowing where my enemies are, just to debunk the overpoweredness behind mobility and enemy position knowledge.
Meanwhile, I look at legends like Caustic, and what do I see? Annoyance on steroids.
- @Peri_Longbow_plz so, people want an improvement but are afraid it will be too strong, I think they have to improve, if it gets too strong, just balance until it gets good, I think Apex has this ability to balance skills, look at Gibraltar, before it defended 75 damage, now it has decreased to 50 and I thought it was fair.
- @ADM-REIxSUPREMO I use all legends too, and Mirage clearly needs more of a buff than Crypto.
- @ADM-REIxSUPREMO A lot of people don’t think Gibraltar is that balanced now.
Plus, in the short time that Gibraltar was buffed a lot, he was basically a must-pick, which isn’t good.
It’s ok if they overbuff a legend and then nerf them, but I’d rather have it so that they’re buffed just the right amount and don’t have to be nerfed. - @Peri_Longbow_plz Caustic is pretty well balanced. He is only really good in the right situation.
I got Crypto when he came out, and he was my main for a while. He felt pretty good to use.
Bloodhound is well-balanced right now, so they are a little better than Crypto atm. If I hear someone say "Legend X is fine and balanced", I also expect them to point out why. Because after all I have to provide arguments and points whenever I claim something being overpowered or underpowered. Equally should someone provide what makes them feel like something is fine. As long as that isn't given, there is no foothold to that claim.
Yes, Caustic is only good in certain areas. But there's still a difference between being good in an area, and being too good in an area. And I believe any legend with stationary abilities is well suited for buildings, tunnels or small places. But that's exactly what makes me think that caustic is straight up annoying. He just has to throw one gas trap in one small space and you're screwed. You can't see him, he can see you, you take continuous damage, you're slowed severely, your team mates can't reach you nor support you. But it's not about Caustic here, it's about Crypto.
And yes, even just being able to send him to places with the click of a button while in drone mode would be a sufficient change.
- @Peri_Longbow_plz I'm with you on this, I totally agree.
- @Peri_Longbow_plz
Caustic is pretty well-balanced, as his gas is less useful than other abilities when you use it in the open. It's still somewhat useful, but other abilities are much better.
Caustic is good in close quarters, but he isn't op level good. Many characters have some way to avoid it, or a way to counter it. Crypto has his ult, and his drone isn't destroyed by the traps. Bloodhound's scan allows your team to see the Caustic approaching.
As another thing, Caustic's gas affects his teammates too, so chances are if you are stuck, you'll only be fighting Caustic, and his teammates will be hanging behind the gas doing whatever. You can always just back out of his gas and find another way.
If, by some reason, you are forced to go through his gas, and you die, then it's not really Caustic. (Like if you need to escape the zone.) Wattson would do similarly well, as her fences will slow and damage you. Even if the enemy team didn't have a trap character, they'd still have a huge advantage over you due to positioning. They could sit in the safe area and gun you down as you try to approach.
Sending Crypto to a place with a click of a button would be okay. I'm just saying that it can basically only be that change, and they shouldn't implement the other one, or else Crypto would be too mobile.
