Why Ash's Marked for Death is OP.

Let's Begin Shall We?

(Marked For Death: Your Map shows the location of recent death boxes. Can use a death box to reveal surviving attackers.)

When I read this, It sounds like a great passive for a scout! Why I can think of a scout hero that would really love the second part of this ability *cough* Crypto *cough* seeming as he's all about hacking and manipulating tech. Hell, I can even imagine this passive being added on Bloodhound seeming as he's basically THE hunter tracker. But sadly, however, this isn't on a scout tracker. It's on a DAMAGE DEALER! Revealing and tracking enemies is the scout's job, and the only hero that can reveal enemies while not being a scout tracker is Caustic due to their traps. So why does a passive that can notify you if someone dies nearby and reveal enemies on Ash, A Damage Dealer?

At least remove the ability to reveal enemies through a death box, as it effectively makes using an actual tracker to reveal enemies pointless.

They still have their uses, but combined with everything else, she's basically a crowd-controlling, teleport-making, tracking damage dealer. Why play anything else?

    @GalacticDrifterFor Crypto a change I would like to see is whenever he scans a survey beacon it would be a miniature version of the map room on King’s Canyon so like whenever you look at a banner card with his drone and it says ‘’2 squads in the area’’ you could go scan a survey beacon to reveal the location of those 2 enemy squads which doesn’t sound too overpowered considering its the same thing as marked for death pretty much and Crypto has to spend time off of the field to go ping a banner card and then travel to a survey beacon while Ash can simply throw a knife into a deathbox

    I do agree that Ash’s Passive doesn’t really suit her as a character and it feels like it should of been put on a surveillance legend to begin with, Crypto seems like the perfect candidate because Bloodhound is already over picked and Seer can just ADS to know where everyone is

    note: what I think probably happened was during playtesting they realized finding enemies was difficult on Storm Point so a solution they came up with was Marked for Death and they gave it to Ash because she was the newest legend and wanted to make her strong to increase her sales and they don’t plan on buffing crypto until his heirloom is ready to increase his heirloom’s sales like they did with Rampart and Wattson but marked for death was leaked back in like Season 3-4 and so far most everything on the sheet has been added into the game just with some changes like Rampart was supposed to originally be a male and I think ‘’Pariah’’ is now Ash
