[Season 6] Crypto Feedback

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/apex-legends/news/season-6-patch-notes

EMP will now slow teammates caught in the blast, even if they had no shields. This means that players who have used Revenant’s Death Totem will also be slowed.

• Surveillance Drone 30HP → 60HP
• Surveillance Drone hitbox size: cube of edge length 16 → cube of edge length 24

This Crypto re-scale is very poor design. EMP is not always use for offensive, but to provide the necessary space for teammate to retreat to better position or to healed themselves. Making EMP able to slow teammates who get caught in the blast literally ruined some of the defensive strategy Crypto can used. What's more when Crypto was using drone already turn the situation to 2 vs 3 if there isn't any good spot to hide the drone.

If Death Totem is the balance issues, then it should only affect the teammate while under the totem effect.

Drone being destroy have a long cooldown and maps such as World Edge rarely have good spot to hide it. Even with the teaser preview of new World Edge, it still look so bad for the drone itself. Increasing the hitbox would just make the drone way too easy to destroy and double the health isn't going to solved it. The drone is noisy, very visible and can be easily caught by thermal sight or legend such as Bloodhound. 

Able to use Respawn & Survey beacon instantly isn't going to get people to use it especially when there is still a mobile respawn beacon and Bloodhound scan was instantaneous with short cooldown after the Beast of the Hunter buff. If anything, you just literally kill this legend rather than buffing it.
