Cryptos "Buff"

The devs have made this legend even more useless than he was before. This change did not in the slightest buff him instead it nerfed him. You can no longer quickly go into your drone for quick action control of the drone. The having to wait for it to deploy on top of hitting q again with a delay to enter the drone. This crippled him it did not buff him. Revert his changes please.

To give bigger clarity on it. We can press Q release his drone have no control over it. What is this release supposed to do when majority of the time its not even facing the direction we need it to. It is a stationary target easily shot. It stays at legend height level. Just stationary how was the new "buff" helping him exactly? Sure we can deploy a drone on the fly but that drone most likely will not point where we need it to and easily will be seen and shot as they chase the crypto.

  • @E9ine_AC What would of been better is a tap to enter the drone, and a press to deploy the drone - that automatically flies on its own.

    Control Mode: Remains as is, Crypto can go anywhere with the drone while still within the allowed range.

    Automatic Mode: Crypto's drone would automatically follow Crypto like how it does when its left next to the train when that was on World's Edge. In this mode, the drone will listen to pings. Any "going here" pings (or even drone specific pings) would cause the drone to scout that area. Pinging banners would have the drone read it without having to be in the drone, while pinging banner cards, would have the drone retrieve them. If you ping a respawn beacon or respond to a dead teammate who pinned the beacon, the drone would fly over to it. The drone still has the same range limit as the control mode. Since the drone can make things much easier, it could fly slower, and take a moment to respond to another command, or simply not work while Crypto is being shot at.

    It would also be interesting if the drone could respond to teammate's pings as well. As long as the drone is still out, it could be used to do things like grab Crypto's banner.

    @DaleFox2012 From a gameplay standpoint, that takes longer to use his drone, and throwing it out to just hover out in the open just doesn't quite help.
  • @Midnight9746Agreed, holding does go straight into the drone but its not instant like it needs to be... its a rather slow transition still and having to hold to enter makes it feel even slower than it used to be

    I also don’t like how it sends it straight out regardless if you click/hold but if you aim at your feet it doesn’t so thats at least a work around, overall that transition in and out of his drone just feels ‘’clunky’’ and not optimized
