I agree that their scan is a bit too powerful. The scan range could be toned down slightly, but I think the amount of time enemies are scanned is fine. I also think they should reduce the time on the passive tracking to what it was before the changes to it. I also feel the ult speed should be reduced slightly, and the current passive tracking should only be applied during the ultimate.
Just curious, how do you guys feel about him getting assists in ranked just from his scan? Personally ranked bloodhound players dont even seem to main him they just want the points without having to shoot. Not saying all ranked bloodhounds are bad players just that so many ranked bloodhounds i get are not very good at actually shooting its pretty obvious they are trying to get points from scans because they dont get many kills?
@mkmarie200 yeah I agree that makes no sense. With that logic crypto should get assists while sitting in his drone scanning people.
I think that Bloodhound should get assists on scans as you are technically assisting your team by giving out the enemy's location. However, as @Burnie_00 said, Crypto's drone scan should do the same.
@ClassyPython49Cryptos drone did in the past, I think it got removed because he was receiving assist points when enemy teams were doing the kills or something like that so you could get assist points up to 200m from your position
So they just deleted it instead of patching it? Sounds pretty lazy to me. They should definitely re-add it if Bloodhound is going to remain receiving assists for scans. And if, for whatever reason, the Crypto glitch is un-patchable, then remove Bloodhound assist points for continuity.
@ClassyPython49Honestly I don’t remember it was a long time ago, it could be a bug they said they fixed the issue but it may of been removed later on im just checking patch notes

This one says that they fixed an issue for crypto not receiving assist credits while scanning with drone
Oh, ok, gotcha. Thanks for looking into it.
To be honest, I didn't even know Bloodhound got assist points off of scans, and I don't play Crypto in ranked, so I couldn't tell you either way. I can't say I'm surprised if it is bugged or if the timer for an assist to be granted is extremely short.
