Crypto suggestions

Just going to list some ideas that could improve crypto as both a character and make him easier to play

• animation of going between normal and into drone should be shortened (especially if drone is already out)

• some way for the drone to move without controlling it? Either it follows close to crypto or can be sent in a straight line like how mirages tactical used to work

• somehow crypto is invisible/hidden when using his drone? This one seems the most OP but he is the most vulnerable character when using the drone

• alternative solution to previous point is that you are instantly kicked out of drone view if an enemy is within 10 meters of you. You dont scan them or anything but it means you're never in the drone with someone about to attack (nobody uses the drone when they're that close to someone in a fight so this could work)

And my favourite idea:

When drone is activated but crypto isnt looking through it, his minimap can either be normal with him in the middle or switch to the drone in the middle, and every orange scanned enemy comes up as an orange dot on that drone minimap (switch between maps easily with the ability control button, and hold that button to call the drone back). This would totally help crypto when hes actually fighting instead of him having to hide somewhere to scan enemies for the team, he can see their locations in the minimap as well as their highlights around him like normal.

Any feedback on these ideas or crypto changes of your own would be appreciated!

    To add to the emp he should be able to "silence" tactical abilities. Anyone who lore wise relies on technology for their tactical ability for example wraith. She shouldn't be able to phase away.

    Hmm there are some interesting suggestions here. I do agree that Crypto is severely handicapped in this fast-paced nature of this game. As he is the only Legend that remains stationary when using his ability. So instead of a 3v3 it becomes a 2v3. 

    Just to add another suggestion, it might help if Crypto can set a patrol mode on his drone. Like drones in the real world, so rather than having to leave it stationary, Crypto can have an option for it to patrol an area. 

    In drone mode he can use the trigger to pick a point on the map and the drone will circle that point as long as it's within range of Crypto. This leaves Crypto free to move to attack or loot. While the drone is still serving it's role as the eye in the sky. 

    And if he picks himself or an ally or even the enemy, the drone will follow that player at a fixed distance away, until it loses sight or leaves Crypto range. 

    Until the devs come out with a new recon legend, the current recons should complement at different ranges. Bloodhound is close to mid/indoors, Crypto is mid to far/open spaces, Pathfinder should then be far? (for another discussion).
