EA and Respawn, this is a big reason people are angry

@Midnight9746Even before that. Before the new Evo system. Back when the gold armor was a thing. I much preferred gold armor over red btw.
Back then, he was pretty useless.
The only squad callout was by drone view marking a flag, which some places you can't see a flag.
I like the new version, anytime you enter or send out the drone get the notifier, that is nice.
But the main way I use him is banner recovery and instant use of respawn beacons, whereas everyone else is 5-8 seconds (ground-MRB)

A few years ago, when they gave crypto and ash free during the anniversary event, I was able to revive my allied lifeline while using drone view. Drone got shot then lifeline left, but I was able to attempt it.
A couple weeks later, the drone could no longer revive in drone view, and still can't.
If only they'd add something like that back.

Idea: Partnership Upgrades:
Each Legend has upgrades they offer to their allies, tailored to each ally.
Lifeline could get a revive shield perk from NewCastle.
People could get invisible revive and respawn from Mirage.
Crypto could get drone view revive from lifeline.
Crypto could get attack drone from Ballistic, allowing him to slot a third weapon, an unmodded sidearm, to use on his drone, using ammo from his inventory. This would disable the primary click cast ult and instead fire attached gun, using the normal ult cast button(s) to cast ultimate. PC = Z. You can naturally do that but most people like clicking to cast ult.
From Bloodhound crypto could get a perk to change drone view click from ult to a recon dart that scans in an area around it, or revealing a directly hit target for a few seconds. This dart would have its own cooldown.
As such, some perks cannot be used with each other, because of conflicts like that.
Octane could get boosted revive speed from Lifeline.
Etc.
Got any other theoreticals?
