Legend changes
The power creep in this game has becomed too too much. Not only some legends get for free up to 6 new effects or abilities in their kit. Some of them are literall copies of other legends passives, making them redudant and obsolete. All this only makes the power difference between legends bigger and solidify stale metas.
Now all legends are able to scan ring consoles, scan care packages and craft teammate banners. All the other perks and effects are removed.
The next changes are meant be added basekit, whether or not they replace upgrades.
Crypto: he has no personal passive and the ultimate is chained to the tactical, making it non-existent when you don’t have the drone.
Passive: you are able to scan survey beacons.
Surveillance drone: reduce the noise it makes when hovering still by 33%. Now the drone will always travels 20m, even if Crypto throws it while entering at the same time.
EMP: now you throw a grenade (detonates on impact), creating a 24m diameter explosion which goes through walls. Affects Crypto but not his teammates (150s cooldown). Deals 25 damage (shield or health), slows and stuns for 2,5s, breaks enemy objects, players can’t use healing items and grenades for 20s.
Seer
Heartseeker: when an enemy is inside the circle and in range, it turns completely orange (no longer intermittently).
Focus of attention: enemies are scanned for 2,5s, for the next 8s they will be silenced and will be scanned while shooting or running.
Exhibition: throw range from 15m to 30m.
Newcastle: reduce hitbox by 8% (keep the fortify).Gibraltar: reduce hitbox by 15% (keep the fortify).
Passive: gun shield health from 50 to 25 and now Gibraltar recovers from stuns 50% faster (electric fences, arc stars, wrecking ball, missile swarm, rolling thunder, defensive bombardment, EMP).
Wattson
Perimeter security: placement range from 8m to 10m, cooldown from 4s to 6s, maximum number of nodes from 12 to 10 and pylon no longer speeds cooldown. Enemies, loot boxes and allies hitboxes are now ignored when placing nodes.
MirageRampart
Modded loader (rework): reload all guns 10% faster, also increases magazine capacity from light, heavy and energy guns by 3 bullets, meanwhile shotgun and sniper guns by 1.
Amped cover: remove the visual effect when bullets go through because you can’t see anything. Now when enemies shoot through the shield blue side, the whole amped cover disappears instantly.

Vantage
Spotter lens: now enemies are highlighted in red and you can see if they have their ultimate or not.
Ultimate: increase rifle draw and aiming speed by 25%. Damage goes from 50/100/150 to only 70. Enemies are scanned for 1,5s when shot.
Catalyst: useless in open spaces without ultimate and limited to camp buildings. Catalyst is no longer immune to other Catalysts abilities. Do you see Wattson being immune to enemy fences?
Barricade: kicks to break fortified doors from 4 to 3. Now you can also block any openings or pathways that do not exceed a size of 8x8m width and height (this counts as 2 uses of your passive).
Piercing spikes: they only stay on the ground for 14s, but enemies can no longer destroy them. Damage per second from 15 to 10. Change puddles area from 2x11 to 3x9.
Ash: the only thing she really needed was buffs to both her ultimate and old passive, the dash was unnecesary and over the top. It is too easy to use for such a strong effect (jumping 6m every 8s). Remove the dash and bring back her old passive.
Marked for death changes: lootboxes from players killed less than 60s ago will be highlighted on the map in red instead of white. If the attackers from the player lootbox are dead, the ones who killed them will be revealed and so on. The marks on the map track the enemy movement for 10s (no longer a one moment location). Give her Revenant ability of crouching faster.
Alternative if people are too whiny of having the dash removed, increase cooldown from 8s to 15s.
Phase breach: enemies can no longer enter the portal.
Revenant: remove his ability of crouching faster. Ever since his rework it can't be efficiently used with his current loud and agressive kit.
