Propose Crypto drone interaction idea, following Seer update

With Seer added into the game, I found that playing Crypto is no longer a viable choice.

When you playing Bloodhound or Seer, you can expect something to be detected immediately after you used tactical ability.

That's how legends with detection ability fit smoothly into the pace of the game.

So, I propose an additional way for Crypto to move his drone.

It's really simple.

By holding the tactical ability button, the drone moves straight forward to the point where Crypto's crosshair aiming at, similar to pinging for your squad.

That means Crypto will also be able to immediately detect something after activate his tactical.

This should allow Crypto to catch up with the pace of the game.

Now he can signal his drone to move to somewhere while he's battling or allow him to activate his ultimate while entering the fight together with his squad.

However, if Crypto want to use his drone to interact with anything or want to perform the more complex move (like avoiding bullet), he still needs to enter his drone and take full control.

Crypto-Ping

Maybe, if this concept going to make him too OP,

some handicaps may be considered to be added, like the drone move a bit slower with this interaction
or Crypto still needs to hold the controller while moving the drone and prevent him from attacking others.

  • I thought the same being able to just throw his drone out by default up to like 25m, my suggestion was it stay there and be able to scan 360 degrees while there pinging enemies in a 15m radius. And Passive should be drone follow pinging enemies around you in a 10m radius. While also being able to choose when to manually control it be it right after you throw it to desired location or whenever you choose to control the drone. Ult should work like seer throw it out decide to EMP that spot or go into control mode and EMP while you are flying it 

  • @PCep_0How would you deal with buildings and places with a lot of obstacles? Even if you are trying to safely drone around and move, the drone is moving linearly and is very loud so many teams can hear it before you even know they are there.

    Still a good idea nonetheless since he's practically unusable at the moment. I'm not hating. Just asking to know if you have a solution.
