The problem with Crypto
So, I’ve been a Crypto main since he dropped into the game in season 3 and have 5k kills with him. I also play around with other characters too, but typically I eventually gravitate back to Crypto. H...

Yeah and Crypto didn’t even get his dive emote until after Revenant got his in the season 4 battle pass. Hard to forget that.
Since switching from Crypto, I’ve been mainly playing Bloodhound and Loba, I’ve noticed a drastic increase in my KD and win rate. It’s easier to keep up with my teammates and push the fight with them, which has meant many more kills and far less assists. However, what I’ve noted now, is just how much I hate playing with Crypto’s on my team. They slow down the pace, or you have to leave them behind, most because they still don’t understand how to use him right, but also for reasons that can’t really be helped. And I’be definitely been hearing a lot of negativity from other players directed at Crypto mains in general since I’ve stopped playing as him. Much of that negativity, I can now appreciate since I’ve stopped playing as him, but it also makes me a little sad, because I really enjoyed playing as Crypto, and I think he has a lot to offer a team if some good changes are made to help make him more viable, but where he’s at right now, he’s just not.
@Sadronan I feel ya, I do enjoy using crypto and when in a premade its much easier to use him.
In solo queues i mainly just use the drone for banner collection, checking squads in the area via champion banners, survey beacons and the occasional emp poke before third partying. Randoms don't have enough patience to even let me set the drone up above the fight to give them clear movement intel lol.
@MandatoryIDtag I stopped trying to setup the drone in good position long ago, for just that reason, I use the EMP and as soon as I feel sure it will go off without being shot down, I’m out and rushing in to try and be as much a part of the actual fight as I can be.
