Crypto dron nerf

Season 4 is great so far.. expect two things for me. One of them I would like to point here. Hope devs read that.

Crypto in this season is just too OP. Dron is way too powerfull and also too strong.

On high level ranks, where players know exactly what they are doing there is nothing to counter dron. In gun fight it is tough to destroy it and if pilot is smart enough, he will go way around or outside of building/rocks so u can do nothing about it. Also, it gives assists, stun, and destroy armor. On top of that it destroy Wattson fances, open doors, boxes and pick up banners etc.
Only thing you can do about it is just fall back. This is ridicules, if you face predators team, Crypto + Pathfinder, you are most likely -1 teammate.

We get nerfs for most win rate legends/weapons where we not need it (like 5sec more cooldown for Wraith's Q is like nerf of nerfed nerf already) and buffs for opposite. But, guys you trying to balance unbalanced gameplay by unbalancing it in other way. Leave perfect balanaced things like Wraith or Wingman (finally) and boost by a bit other things, then adjust it if needed and voila!

For Crypto i would suggest

- Nerf dron HP 100 -> 1-30

- ult not destries fances etc.

- Ult stun enemies OR destries shield by 50%

OR

- Just leave it and nerf dron to 1HP and make Gibbi bobble and wattson pylon as a counter for dron

Thanks!

    @Leo_the_Lion25 I have a bunch that when people shoot at the drone the shots hit the aura but not the drone itself. My drone makes a noise when the aura is hit.
  • So you say "Crypto + Pathfinder, you are most likely -1 teammate."

    So if there isn't a pathfinder, is it still -1 teammate? I think you're giving the wrong legend credit here.

    @Leo_the_Lion25 Appreciate your substantial comment. Maybe it is 30HP, but i guess you play this game a bit and as so many other here wrote, u hit it, you got hitmark with aura but nothing happens. Sometimes we shoot it 2 or 3 with teammates to take it down, so either it is bugged or it just had much more HP then you think.

    @Blasian311 As so as lifeline and wattson. Movement for every single character is the same expect revenent higher climb. Rest is just an additional abilities. So it is not to compensate, it is about purpose of this character. As wattson is more like useless on normal games. But on rankeds, oh boy, it can be more crucial then any wraith or gibbi. It is the same story with Crypto.

    @biotech00 Just an example as Path is best way to get entry kill in any fight, skilled Q and you are like 50m further in enemys bubble with peackeeper. It is more like devs miss the point of this legends. It suppose to be scout, irl it is assassin character.
  • @SSPK7 I think he means that the additional abilities give the character more mobility. That’s usually what people mean by more mobile.
    All the movement is the same, yeah, but the point is Crypto can’t move while in the drone, which kind of decreases his total mobility.
  • @SSPK7Crypto's drone is good aim trainer and good toy for annoying people 👍

    Team mates also get info from where enemy shot Crypto's drone.

    Cryptos drone should stop relaying data if he's not controlling it and auto return

    @Leo_the_Lion25 I was looking all over for this thread.

    I want to bump this so it gets looked at. But The Drone still has Hitbox Registration Issues.

    Take a look at this clip I posted to Twitter. Literally, shot 9 bullets at the drone and it takes it all. That is about 126 R-301 damage. I noticed it wasn't destroyed and shot it again which got me shot by the enemy.

    Technically, I shouldn't have been harmed because the drone should have been destroyed when I 1st shot at it, but the bug changed my plans.
