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...

@UnwarierSquid16 I was not aware that Crypto can not use his ult if the drone gets destroyed, no other legend can have their ult blocked like that, it should be one of the main things that get changed.
I realize that my idea for a passive is not very flashy but that's because I assumed devs wanted Crypto's passive not to be super impactful for... some reason.
I heard that all recon legends will be able to use servey beacons at some point, not sure if it was a speculation or a rumor, if that was the case allowing Crypto to the plugin that device and make it go off by itself would be useful too.
I do like the door hack idea, but maybe combining it with my idea would not be ridiculous, again it's only really impactful for respawn beacons, auto triggering charge towers, vaults, and that giant sonar in King's Canyon is just there for the sake of it.
To be fair Mirage should cloak when using those things too, not just respawn beacons.
As for Loba, since she is a support I thought that kind of passive would actually make her more support-like, and yes it would work great for solos too.
For her tactical, I think devs meant it to work as an escape tool, so the initial throw should be fast and the landing a bit riskier, that way there is a lot more space for the skill involved, just like now you should aim to land behind cover or on high ground, not next to enemies, the reason why wraith has her downtime after leaving phase is that devs don't want legends to be able to suddenly pop into existence and start shooting you out of nowhere, it was explained in one of the interviews, that's why both Loba and Wraith have that downtime which I think is completely fine as it forces players to think, not just swoop around shooting stuff with no way for others to counter it.

@gipehtonhceT Yeah the crypto ult is so annoying as no other legends have that problem, and it's why people want new abilities that dont rely on the drone, but obviously that change would be able to use the drone or not the drone for the ult.
The hacking doors isnt that great an idea, theres loads of other ideas for passives but they include the drone, so your suggestion is good as a new thing. I really like the idea of him being able to just click it and it does itself, especially respawn beacons, and it really fits with his lore of hacking the arena. I just worry theres not enough things on the map to make it useful (it's like if mirage was only invisible for beacons instead of reviving, it's such a minor part of the game) but maybe the season 6 map changes with the new blast walls will need to be used like other control panels and itll be good for that too!
You're totally right, mirage should clock while using anything like vaults and charge towers too!
I didnt really think about the reason for loba then, thanks for letting me know they specifically said that in an interview. I guess that's the opposite of my change and instead she should have a much quicker bracelet throw with a shorter animation to start it, and the same thing at the end as they have now (although I cant tell you how easy it is to down a loba who just landed next to me aha)
Sounds like the best final changes to these 2 characters I've seen in a while and would love if it happened!

- @UnwarierSquid16 I do agree that my idea for Crypto's passive would only be useful in select few situations, but look at pathfinder, he basically has 2 tacticals and not a actually passive passive ability, I find it weird that a metal robot uses syringes to heal, I wonder if there is something that can be done to make it more realistic, then again revenant uses syringes too...
