Crypto off the grid upgrade issue

Question

Dear Respawn, hope all is well!I come today with a request.besides the cheating absolutely running rampant for me the last two weeks in diamond 3 again and making me and my friends miserable I'd like to request a small temporary change for Cryptos Off The Grid upgrade.&nbsp;Would you be so kind to temporarily remove or severely reduce the audio noise he makes while invisible and not allow valk to see him when she uses her ult. Perhaps also reducing the glitch visual a tad bit.It would appear that Off The Grid is doing more harm than good for his survival especially when trying to grab banners.I loathe that his drone takes dmg out of zone now but I understand why and I got use to it.&nbsp;Please consider making this change next split atleast for one season and see if it's ok to keep.I truly don't think it's fair that valk or bloodhound can see a guy that is supposed to be off the grid. I understand seer heartbeat sensor.If this request is too much of a ask I would kindly instead ask for it to be completely removed.Thank you for your time.&nbsp;&nbsp;PS: please ban the cheaters i reported.&nbsp;

Having played countless hours as Crypto in ranked, I think I am able to be allowed to comment here. I would welcome any input from anyone that plays other legends, who may have a suggestion, input or observation that could help me develop and improve my strategy.
While it is difficult, using Crypto can be a huge bonus to a team. You just have to know how and where to use his drone, have a highly developed sense of situational awareness and a strategy as to how and when to do so.&nbsp;
Imo the chances of Respawn allowing Crypto to become compleyely hidden again is zero.

xblackliight​ Sadly, this is intended as when Crypto's invisibility was silent, he was completely hidden until he was scanned.
As for legends such as Valkyrie and Bloodhound being able to scan for Crypto, that is also just how the Recon Class works, (which Crypto cannot hide from the Survey Beacons either).

off the grid is supposed to make him completely hidden as it was orginally designed until people abused drone in outer ring. I have an obscene amount of hours on the character. The upgrade is not working as intended as it was overly nerfed where it gets him killed.

xblackliight​ Hmm, that might of changed from the last time I've played Crypto then.

As a former top 300 console crypto. The upgrade is not working as intended. Valk has a top 5 pick rate. He is unable to grab banners and survive when valk can scan him and the audio is very loud when invisible and people are running aimbot in my master pred lobbies. The chances are not zero at all. The devs most likely already know about these issues with the meta and how it greatly affects other legends.&nbsp; Especially with the cheating.&nbsp;
