Crypto drone QoL improvement

Crypto drone update-

now that vantage has entered the game. I believe a good approach to making cryptos drone a little more efficient to use. Similar to vantage tactical functions when moving her bat from spot to spot. Should be able to tap the tactical and the drone auto move to new location without having to enter drone view. Hold down tactical to enter drone view. Could even make ur drone auto respawn teammates by aiming at respawn and tap the tactical button. Same with banner grabbing. I understand the idea behind making crypto more vulnerable while in pilot mode. How ever being 100 percent vulnerable while in drone mode the get a quick glimpse at a target before it gets 1 shot. Health on drone too low for how much effort it takes to place it and then just to recall and place again. 

I know I don’t word myself great. Thx for reading hope it makes sense

  • @KYNG-lI I wish it had more health.
    I want them to bring back the ability to revive while piloting the drone.
    Quick move would be a welcome benefit.
    I'd also like to attach it to the trident, at least when my team is using it, for quick marking around us without it getting too far behind us.
    As for Quick Use, that would be a bit too OP, like using beacons, respawns, or banner grabbing without piloting it, that'd be a bit OP.
    If they bring back Drone Revive AND allow quickuse, The Quickuse Revive would be like a Long-Range Lifeline with destroyable drone. Single target revive, not multi-revive.
  • Given that Crypto is a HACKER, his passive should reflect that.  I would suggest adding to his passive or change it to giving Crypto a personal benefit of Aim Assist while his drone is out and pings opponents.  At least you can legitimately say he's Hacking.  This would work by making bullets bigger or his targeting bigger so that they hit a target easier.

    Tactically, every time his drone pings an opponent that it reduces the CD off his drone respawning when destroyed.  Say 2 sec., once per new opponent or 1 sec. constant.  On average you're not going to ping more than 1-6 opponent before it gets destroyed.  The drone is nice.  It's power is in freely roaming around, but beyond that, once destroyed, you have to wait 30 sec until respawn.  Then Crypto becomes a base character without abilities.  Alternatively, give the drone more health.  I've seen it get lasered so fast that it's ridiculous.

    For his Ultimate, I'd suggest that it scales up to 3 shield bars removed and/or that the slow/disorientation (like an arc star) last a few seconds longer.  The problem with Crypto is that all of his abilities are tied to his drone.

  •   In my point of view, Crypto are weak because he only has the drone, if take a look carefully you can see the entire kit is to his drone. Any change who people ask can be too useless, like increase the drone hp... and if get destroyed? Move more fast... and if get destroyed? if the drone gonne, crypto's lost his entire kit and buffs what he got.
      A time ago, i've bring an idea, who consist on put the drone on his ult(nothing big will change for be honest) and add a new abilitie and new passive, if you want, i can bring the idea for you.
