@SERPENT_DESCEND I like your passive idea, he is already vulnerable whilst using a drone so being scanned can be prove fatal.

I also like the idea of the tactical launching quicker, a health bar would be cool too but it's a non priority really, it's hp is fine as it is as well to be honest.

100% agree that crypto shouldn't be effected by his own EMP, I've been requesting he gain immunity to it for a long time now. However I don't think it needs further buffs, you can potentially hit massive amounts of damage depending on how many people are in range of the ult, further buffs would make it pretty overwhelming to be honest especially since you can track enemies exact locations by seeing where the shield damage markers pop up.

@MandatoryIDtag The health bar would be very beneficial. It's purpose it to recall your drone as soon as you see it decreasing and thus it will save you from going through the drone cooldown. An alternative to that is to make the drone warns Crypto through alarming sound once an enemy is aiming at it. With that being said Crypto definitely needs more to his ult than just gaining resistance to it.

  I think we'll have to agree to disagree on his ult. A slowing effect+50 damage to anybody in its radius seems pretty damn powerful to me lol.
  It's literally bangalores ult with a precise controlled AoE and much greater hit rate.
  The reason I said the hp bar is a non priority issue is due to the fact in reality you're not going to be paying much attention to crypto's drone hp when you're not in it...unless you're sat there staring at your own drone, which if we're honest means you're either playing extremely passively or not paying attention to the fight at hand.
  It would be pretty cool in the drones HUD, but with the amount of hp it has odds are if you're taking fire it's going to be destroyed before your recall sequence completes anyway.

    @MandatoryIDtagBangalore ult isn't even comparable to Cryptos, Her ult covers a larger area, Potentially deals much more damage than 50 (to both health and shield) if placed correctly, And the slow effect lasts much longer than the EMP, Also Crypto EMP is completely avoidable by destroying the drone. Once you EMP a team then try to push them, They would have mostly already recharged their shields. Given the fact that you need to stay away from your EMP so it won't effect you. Also why wouldn't I pay attention to the drone HP bar? The drone is Litteraly the only thing Crypto relies on. "It would be pretty cool in the drones HUD, but with the amount of hp it has odds are if you're taking fire it's going to be destroyed before your recall sequence completes anyway" And that is why I suggested an increase to the drone HP.
