CRYPTO BUFF

@Peri_Longbow_plz I'm with you on this, I totally agree.

@ADM-REIxSUPREMO Well I agree. Look I just bought crypto two days ago and I’ve been getting high kills with him so I’m happy with his abilities at the moment.
But I think after I get killed several times by being vulnerable, I’ll get mad and demand for a Buff xD

@jeelyawan414 Wasn't that already planned as a change for all scout characters? That they are passively able to interact with beacons?

@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.

@jeelyawan414 They might change it so that all scout characters can scan beacons. It's been leaked, but as a leak it isn't definite, and could also be completely false.
Crypto shouldn't get an extra 50 shield when in the drone, as then it removes a lot of the necessary risk of going into the drone. The 50 extra health: 1. Doesn't really fit with his character. 2. Could be exploited, especially against another Crypto or a Bangalore ult. With the extra 50 shield, a Crypto user could simply go into their drone to avoid taking damage from a Bangalore ult, another Crypto ult, or their own Crypto ult.
Crypto shouldn't be killed instantly while using the drone. Especially if you can see a banner and tell how many squads are nearby, you shouldn't be staying in drone form for too long. Just send out your drone, see if anyone is nearby, do a quick sweep, and go back to your body.

@Sagi_Shinobi Can you give an example of how you were killed while in drone? Again, it's possible that you just were unlucky, or you chose a bad spot/time to go into the drone.

@Sir_Named I was hypothetically speaking. It did not happen yet..
