New passive ideas for Crypto

Crypto desperately needs a passive that isn't part of his drone, I'm not going to cover everything he needs I already made a post before about how to make him good instead I'm going to share possible ideas for his passive ability:

1-(DDoS hack): Enemies HUDs in Crypto or his drone area is glitched and won't show progress, Map shows glitching Crypto logo instead. Can't ping, Have slightly distorted hearing and vision capabilities and keep hearing buzzing sounds. The effect becomes worse the closer the enemies to Crypto or his drone.

Side notes: The main purpose of this passive is to make Crypto a dangerous legend even when his drone is not around, It would also makes the drone much more useful. Crypto should be able to disable this ability in case he want to hide from enemies.

2-(Hiding expert): Crypto is immune to scanning and won't leave clues. Is invisible to threat detection scopes and drones. 

Side note: Beside the fact that it would be effective in game, It also makes sense to Crypto lore since he is known to be very hard to find. Although that would make Bloodhound abilties less reliable which himself isn't a top tier legend, A buff for Bloodhound would balance things a little bit.

3-(Hacker knowledge): Crypto can see how many squads in the area without having to log in his drone if his drone is activated.

Side note: Someone suggested this, Could save you some time.

Qol changes:

1-EMP should show how much  damage it inflicted and it should also show where are the damaged targets and their body shields level in drone view, Currently this is only possible if you EMP then log off from your drone.

2-Crypto shouldn't be effected by his own EMP.

3-Fix the issue where there is a delay on refreshing the number of squads in the drone range.

4-Add this as a banner for Crypto and name it  (Cryptic):

    New passive? Give him the exact same passive as Pathfinder.

    I think a good passive would be something similar to the cyber sniper class in bf2042 when he has a close range detector so cyrpto can use the drone and quickly get off if the detector picks up enemies 🤔

    @SERPENT_DESCENDAm i the only one who think he is very op but boring for pubs? As an defensive legend and holding legend is awesome. Although number 2 would be op af

    @George_25_ch As someone who plays crypto a lot, I think he's a character that excels extremely well in one area but is deficient in another; in this case it'd be excels in defensive recon and third party, poor in attacking, especially in open areas.

    I think one of the main reasons I don't see him in ranked too often (even though he's good in ranked) is because in order to rank up, you need to get kill points, which crypto doesn't do well with. He gets assist points but the lack of reliable offense capability makes it hard to secure the kills.

    In addition, I'm rarely in a champion team where a teammate needs a quick rescue with a drone; Crypto's a safety net, but not a necessity.

    @Adendon A nice buff would also be 50% cool down when drone is destroyed and 50 more drone hp. Might not change what you said but he will be more appealing

    The fact that you need your drone out to ult is dumb. I get why it's there but I just had a team push me out of nowhere and having to pull a drone out, move it, emp just doesn't work. It got DESTROYED before the emp went off so it was completely useless. Meanwhile I'm standing still not able to do anything. What other legend is like this?

    You should be able to emp regardless if you have your drone out. Also your emp shouldn't damage you. There so many common sense things to buff with crypto but the dev team is beyond stupid. Gibby has been broken for over a year meanwhile crypto has never been good
