Stop whining, start exploring and adapting!

It's pathetic, how fast you guys start whining about the new map, instead of accepting the fact, that changes can be a good thing. The dev's already confirmed, to bring back King's Canyon back at so...

@Fr3dY2Well we were playing gold games, filled with diamond players. I'd say that's quite a harsh way to start learning the map playing from a couch 😉

I played a lot of crypto after you left and I'd say he's fun. Watching everything unfold around you. The one problem I found is that some of the teammates just kept leaving me behind and I was always late for fights... Crypto really needs a team that can actually wait for him, or the wraith needs to get used to always initiate a portal near crypto when going into a fight.
In one game i was left last man standing with 6 teams left and I just hid in a corner flying around watching them fight, like a TV show XD. I ended up being focused by both remaining teams when the final circled closed on an open area (well I did show myself too early since I wanted to get revenge for shooting my drone XD). But camping is definitely much more entertaining playing crypto. Pulling off a successful ultimate seemed easy enough for me, but it rarely worked vs me, since I almost always shot the drone before it could finish the ult. I guess the enemies didn't precharge it while going in. On the other hand, crypto can every easily FIND such rats XD. Luckily there were no other crypto's in that game, so I could watch in peace.

I think he's a great addition to the game. Would be interesting to see what he can do to a wattson, but so far I haven't seen a single wattson on ranked on the new map (I've seen walls, but somehow neither of those wattsons reached endgame). The drone does clear caustic traps in quite large radius, so should work well enough vs wattson too.

@BiochemikasDamn locked legends 🙂. I played like 4-5 matches with Crypto greyed out, kept forgetting to spend those useless tokens to unleash him. Then tried to respawn @JjumpingJjack with the drone, haha. Note to self: next time, read the patch notes before playing. 🙂

I like how the drone feels and moves. Hearing enemy drones feels scary, but it actually isn't much of a deal right now, as no one knows the map yet and you can easily escape attackers 🙂

Crypto's voice is not very good though, you can barely hear or understand what he says at times. Overall, the new legend feels a bit too complex for a BR.

@DoYaSeeMe Oh now that you mention respawning, I totally forgot the drone can collect teammate banners (and I DID read the patch notes and watched crypto gameplay beforehand, so I had no excuse for that) XD. That game I was left alone, I could have totally managed to get my teammate banners in time outside of the zone using the drone... The respawn beacon was heavily guarded, so maybe that would have been for nothing, but really gotta remember that Crypto can do that XD. Especially considering the fact that drone doesn't even take damage outside of the zone.
