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 ...
Forum Discussion
I think Crypto's drone should have an auto pilot that lasts for xx seconds and then is either automatically returned or sits stationary until a cool down period passes.
I find it is hard to take advantage of the drone because you can't advance when in use - all other Legends are not locked in place when using any of their abilities.
Maybe make it so that when you sit and scan you can click "auto pilot" and the drone returns to the altitude it was at but directly above you. Yes, that gives your position away ... much like Bangalore's smoke, or Gibralter's Dome, etc. but at least Crypto will be able to keep up and engaged with his team.
- @skemcin I believe the ability for the drone to auto pilot or to follow Crypto will never happen basically because the drawback of the ability is to be stationery while using it, Btw you can actually be very offensive with Crypto as you shouldn't need much time to reposition the drone. Best way to use him when you push is to go in cover, quickly position the drone where you need it mostly then log off and engage with your team but even that won't provide Crypto and his teammates much as the enemy team would most likely destroy it the moment you log off and those seconds you sacrificed just to know if an enemy is in the drone range could save you and doesn't worth it in my opinion unless you plan to blast an EMP
Thanks for the reply. I hear ya, good points. I'll admit to mostly playing solo/random and find teammates not inherently assuming the Crypto player knows what he/she is doing ... understandable but my comments come from that experience.
Generally speaking though, I don't see how the drone is following Crypto is any different than Bloodhound in Beast Mode. I don't see an overpowered advantage by allowing the drone to follow. If you find yourself in a battle you'd have to hide to activate the EMP which would be silly since you'd be knocking out your own team's shields too.
However, given that the drone is not an ultimate, it isn't fair to compare it to Bloodhound's Beast Mode unless using the drone follow is an option in place of the EMP.
