Legend Concept: Predator
Calling him Predator because his Ultimate was kind of based off the Predator Movie after I thought up his passive and thought it kind of seems similar to Predator Vision. https://sites.google.com/vi...

@Zulkiers Going to be real honest with you chief...
Passive: I'm not sure you know how far meters actually are, but I'll tell you; From the top of the firing range hill to all the way to the first dummy you'll usually see is over 80 meters. That's pretty far and makes clearing out any POI a breeze as you can stand in the middle of it and see everyone in most of them, especially if the player has a 300 meter vision. However, that's more of a problem if they can see enemy players through walls, and you did say that the highlight only works within line of sight. But, its still overpowered. There are a lot of high points, and this would just make a season all about snipers, where Predator pings, and the other two shoots. That doesn't sound like a lot of fun.
Tactical: Okay, having a tactical that acts like a homing beacon for the ult isn't a bad idea. Imagine tagging someone running behind a Rampart wall or Newcastle shield, and the ult just goes around the barrier since the tagged player went behind the cover. As for the marking ability, that just sounds like a Bloodhound scan, but its only one target instead of anyone that gets scanned. I don't really see the point in it other than being a homing beacon for the ult to lock onto.
Ultimate: A form of this ultimate sounds like it would be interesting to see. My understanding of it is that it targets the marked player, or one who's in front of you, and it would bounce around a bit until it hits someone or times out. If it does hit someone, its lifetime is reduced. The only question I have is how can you mark more than one target? The tactical doesn't mention how many charges it has and with 5 seconds of the target being marked, how can another be marked and still have time to launch the ult? By the time a second player is tagged, the ult would go after the second target.

It's similar to Vantage's, but instead of reading targets you highlight them in your vision. Not as easy to ping them either since you can't track and read them. Not broken.
Tactical is literally just homing beacon for the Ult. No other real use. Some might find a way to use it to tell their team a target for elimination, if they have good team mates, but otherwise it's just Ult's homing device.
Ult:
It would aggressively seek the marked target, bouncing around walls to reach them.
Other targets are secondary and require line of sight to seek once the main target is hit.
Targets already hit cannot be seeked and take minimal damage from being hit again. - @Midnight9746
They turned this passive into a passive for ALL Recons.
Except for the minimap and wallhacks part.
BTW, 25m is half or 1/3rd the range of Heartbeat Sensor, depending whether they got the upgrade or not. (Not=50m, Yes=75m.)
I based the 25m off that.
Relatively only large enough to check a building, and a little outside it. Large buildings only check a portion of. Even Seer can't check large buildings, and this guy had much less radius.
Since they added the digi-threat to all recons, that leaves this guy with the 25m perks.
So, I'll add one more to replace. Again, similar to Vantage but not quite.
While aiming directly at a target, you highlight them for allies, and you also see their health if you have healthbars enabled. Warning: If they exit your aim, they are no longer highlighted, thus targets very good at movement may be impossible to highlight for more than a split second at a time, if that.
Possibly an upgrade to extend duration of the effect similar to Drone Scan for Crypto.
The rest of it is still probably usable.
