Please remove Bloodhound and Crypto's ability to scan survey beacons!

For me, the worst part of the patch notes was the next installment in the series of game-breaking Pathfinder nerfs. 

You're making the robot unplayable! Now there is no need to run a Pathfinder on your team when you can have a Bloodhound who can scan enemies and rings.

The ability to scan survey beacons should be exclusive to Pathfinder and Pathfinder only. BH and Crypto do not need it to be good! And it unnecessarily removes the one redeeming quality Path had after the bogus Season 5 nerf.

PLEASE Respawn - for the life of Apex's MRVN, the most loved robot model, do this.

    @CompleatBeet I agree that Bloodhound should lose the perk but Crypto won't really be able to do anything else other than pick up banners if that's removed. He's actually a viable option to play now, instead of being a legend you picked only if you needed to complete a challenge.

    Pathfinder gets a full ult recharge from using one. This isn't a nerf for him lol.

    @CompleatBeet I think they should keep it but pathfinder needs a better passive than the ultimate charge. If they are supposed to be similar characters both bloodhound and crypto have ways to find enemies. Pathfinder should as well.

    Perhaps when Path uses a beacon, the beacon does a brief map wide enemy ping. Viewable from the map but only for a few seconds for the whole team.

    This would potentially give the team insight into their closest threats or where they should circle to next.

    This ping would be static and not track moving players. Just a there was a person here when you pinged.

    @Ragarath Yep I've thought of this. Issue is it is tied to the beacon usage. Crypto and bloodhound dont need a beacon to see others.

    @hayhor  He's recon in the more traditional sense, he's a forward scout. An unparalleled ability for gaining high ground allows you to survey a large area with your eyes, especially if you have the sense to utilise this by carrying a scoped weapon.

    They can't just start making classes to fit even single legend lol. 😛

    Full ultimate recharge plus a 10% max CD reduction on said ult is plenty.  It helps give your entire team greater mobility overall. Yes it's circumstantially useful...but how many passive abilities aren't?

    @MandatoryIDtag Bloodhound has a passive that allows him to follow people. And an ability to see through anything every so many seconds. I guess my issue isnt the pathfinder thing but they ridiculous amount of buffs to bloodhound.
