Ideas for Loba and Crypto buffs
I think we all can agree that Crypto and Loba could use buffs, here is my list of ideas that I think could work, I'm not saying everything here has to be added in a way I say or at all, its just a pi...

@gipehtonhceT I really like your ideas for both of them. I play a lot of crypto in ranked mainly so always have new ideas for him but happy to see these improvements to loba too (played her a lot recently and she could use the buff)
For loba:
I think the passive idea is cool and I've never heard it as a change before, but it would especially help just playing her solo too because you could ping what you need (including like I need shields) and then any in her loot-visibilty area would be obvious (highlighted more than purple and gold loot is to make it really easy to find) and obviously it would help teammates way more too to have someone on the team who can find it that easily.
I'd say her tactical definitely needs a height/distance buff anyway to keep her as good as other movement legends like path and octane. In terms of speeding it up (you're right theres so many stages of the throw which are slow) the landing should have a very quick animation and use a gun almost straight away. She could still have a long animation when throwing it and it still takes time to drop because the throwing part should be the risk not the landing. Also maybe make the arc less obvious to enemies - they could see the start of it but no more so they know shes doing it but cant tell where she finsihes.
Picking up banners with her ultimate is a no brainer to me, and pinging things with her ult and having them appear where they actually are would be a really cool addition (especially when you've taken 2 things and still need the thing she pings)
Overall you've got great ideas for her
Crypto:
Great idea for passive especially respawn beacons but not sure it really helps at other times (charge towers and vaults dont really take long to use so not doing them yourself isnt a huge bonus) but the respawn combined with the mobile beacon in the middle of a fight would be a game changer
Other passive buffs for him could be hacking the breakable types of doors - he can lock up to 3 at a time, obviously enemies can still break them with melee but its like having someone in front of it, doesnt require drone to do. Or servey beacons makes way more sense for crypto, and give pathfinder a different passive that makes more sense with his other movement abilities.
Great to see some buff requests for legends other than octane and Bangalore haha, theres so many legends that could do with a little help but people dont play them enough to see it

@UnwarierSquid16 Another quick idea to change his ult around a bit:
His drone either has slightly less health or is easier to hit, so enemies can destroy it easier. Obviously his drone has a 40 second cooldown which is difficult when you're about to push a fight and it gets destroyed. So whenever his drone isnt deployed or is in cooldown, he has an option for an emp ult still, but he throws it like a grenade (similar to gibbi and Bangalore ults) and the emp radius is smaller. It means hes not useless without the drone and you can still push a guarded building with the ult (wattsons pylon would stop the incoming emp grenade so that's a good balance between them)
I feel like this could help his team usefulness without the drone but obviously still has the option for the good big emp sometimes too.
