The only way to make Crypto useful
We can all agree that Crypto seriously needs a big buff, He is left in the dust in tournaments and isn't used much in pubs at all. So here are my ideas about making Crypto useful and even be a valid ...

1. cool idea, not super necessary but I like how it fits his lore. however, lingering effects on enemies HUDs and audio systems is a pretty steep advantage.
2. Drone has enough health, and currently it appears people are having issues with the drone having much more health than it should.
3. you're basically giving Crypto his usual Ult AND Revenant's ability at the same time which is way too strong.
4.probably very useful but I often dont have time to control my drone to go looking for players in the middle of the fight. drone usually stays stationary or is moved somewhat close to enemies for an ult push.
5. I have no complaints about a cooldown reduction.

- @Condor442 Thx for your opinion, Revenant can't disable passive abilities tho, The main point of this is to make trapping characters like caustic and wattson have more difficult time as caustic wouldn't be able to see in his gas traps and wattson can't deploy fences quickly because of her pylon. Also giving the drone additional health would make it much more annoying to try and shoot it down so Crypto can have his main ability (the drone) much more often working
- @Condor442 Number 4 would be mostly a punishment for enemies who are too far from their teammates I don't think its best used during fights
1. hologram interface will allow Crypto to ping champion banners while drone is activated but not controlled
2. Live feed. While crypto is in control of the drone his team mates gets a live feed through the champion banners. Better carry a good scope if you're far away.
3. Increase detection range. Currently in the firing range crypto's drone can only detect two dummies at a time when set up in the middle. If crypto's drone can highlight all three dummies when set up in the middle I'll be satisfied. I suppose it's more of an increase of width than length.
4. Lower drone brightness and kill the noise while stationary it literally kills the element of surprise. A security camera is one thing that goes unnoticed and unheard. Make the drone the same way. If I set my drone up on the side of a canyon looking down at a pathway then I should be confident that it detects them before they see it.

1-Good addition but it's not needed that much as you can quickly just take controll of drone, see how many squads are in the area then log off.
2-Same case as number 1, Not a big deal in my opinion.
3-The problem with increasing detection range is that Crypto won't be able to know if his EMP is going to hit the enemies because rn if someone is scanned in the drone then you know they are in the range of the EMP.
4-Wouldn't be bad but remember the role of Crypto isn't a sneaky assassin, His main role is to know where the enemies are and weakening them, Your suggestions would also make the drone less distracting.
