Crypto buff?

We know that this character is disliked in tournaments for a simple reason - his ult. But in regular ranked games, its peak rating is at the lowest level. Why? Because crypto is only suitable for pre-assembled and played teams. There are not many such teams in ranked, and even if they take Crypto, they only rely on its ultimate. In addition, almost anyone who takes crypto does not use his tactical skill in the way it could be used. For example, I've been a crypto main since season 3. I'm always in the drone and I'm always scanning enemies for my teammates, and it's difficult, as long as I'm using the drone, I'm in a state where I can't help my teammates in any way. They have to fight in the minority (2vs3), which, especially at high ranks, is a disaster in most cases.

I propose the following improvement for Crypto.

His level 3 perk related to reducing the drone's cooldown should be added to the base skill set or completely removed and a new level 3 perk added instead.

Level 3 perk (I see you)

Scanned enemies receive increased damage while they are in the drone's scanning area.

This means that enemies that stay in the drone's scan for more than 2-3 seconds receive increased damage. This will help the crypto to use the scan more. His teammates are in the 2 vs 3 position, the drone is easy enough to break, and crypto will have to constantly use the drone to avoid being broken. This will help most crypto mainers to use the drone more for scanning rather than for its ultimate. The increased damage can be the same as that of the Vantage

  • I haven't played much for the last year, but I always thought the main weakness of Crypto is having to deploy the drone, and then stop moving in a movement based shooter was the main reason no one liked him. 

    Like, it would be nice if the drone passive parts worked while it was on his back. A warning that someone was within 30 meters behind you alone could up his variability and pick rates.
