@gigator2000 I think that it's actually quite easy to push as a full squad playing as Crypto. If there are 30m between you and the other team, and you place your drone 10 meters past the other team, that gives you only 20 meters to get to the team after the EMP goes off. When you aren't in drone view, you can see how many meters from the drone you are. As long as you are 30m away from it, you won't get hit. and you can activate the EMP while not in drone view. So pushing in with your team isn't all that hard. At most, you're 30m from your team, which doesn't take much time at all to traverse. What I like to do is place my drone, exit drone view, and get a running start so that when the EMP goes off, I'm at the edge of the blast radius and already moving full speed. Even if the other team had time to pop a cell(definitely not a battery) they are still at a shield disadvantage, are disoriented, and aren't prepared when you barge in. If you time the EMP REALLLY well, you wait until your team has forced the other team to shoot at you a couple times so that they also have to reload before you get there. I think that his EMP is one of the most useful Ults in the game. Most Ults that hurt other teams are fairly avoidable and mostly used for crowd control, forcing teams to where you want them to be. but Crypto's isn't so easy to avoid, as it goes through walls and rocks. it's undervalued because Crypto as a whole is undervalued. but that's because, like I've said many times before, going into drone view makes you a sitting duck. I think that if we are given even the slightest ability to place the drone without going into drone view, he will automatically become a top 3-4 legend.
