If it's a shadow nerf please reconsider! (Vantage and Spotter's Lens)

It's already been reported as a bug but I think it could be an undocumented nerf that Respawn did to keep the Herd Tracking perk from becoming too strong. What I'm refering to is teammate sharing and distance indicators being stripped from Spotter's Lens pings.

A flaw of Vantage is not just late ring utility and her ability to keep up with the movement meta, but also how difficult it is for her to simultaneously be a team player and a sniper. This was true before taking teammate sharing away from Spotter's Lens pings and is worse now.

While it seems like Herd Tracking could increase her ability to serve the team through recon I find myself never taking Herd Tracking because comming three locations during a fight feels slow, difficult, and vague especially in solo queue. On top of that, I don't take Herd Tracking and the Spotter's Lens nerf applies anyways. That stings.

Respawn, if you are concerned that Herd Tracking will be overpowered if Spotter's Lens pings are returned to their previous state consider making the perk shorten the duration of the ping. If not and nerfing the ping is how you want to balance Herd Tracking, please give Vantage a new non-verbal way to support the team.

Thank you for reading. I care enough to type this because Apex gives me a lot of joy and has become a nice bonding activity for me and my cousin.
