Why even play Crypto?
Why play crypto when you have bloodhound that scans every 4 seconds. Why stun yourself and even the EMP stuns you and your team. He is pretty much trash tier with Loba. The only thing h0'es got for h...

@Eye_of_Horus_02I feel you, i main crypto and currently he feels clunky to play
His drone is insanely clunky to use, it takes to long to get in and out of drone... you have no fast throwing the drone, and no holding q down is not fast even when he instantly gets out of the drone and kind of just drops it at the current position...
Why you cant emp with the drone on your back?`well i dont know cuz the developers dont wanna see fast gameplay i guess, not like the drawback that you dmg yourself and slow you and your team would be enough lol
Emp has tons of drawbacks and restrictions yet you still need to do preperations lol
The nerfs season 6 to crypto broke him, all the little gimmiks and tools he got for that wont fix it, respawn continues to give him more and more utility buit thats not what he needs, he has enough...he needs something for fights... his drone is almost useless in fights... the cd of drone is incredebible long, im not sure who at respawn tought it would be a good idea to basicly silence crypto for 40 sec if the drone dies
Respawn just wants BH to be meta and not crypto, cuz they move more and more away from high skill sceiling to ez mode
@matzesingt Dude if you actually watch the tournaments you'll see that crypto is picked a lot and he's really good if paired with the right legends... Bloodhound is not in the meta right now.
@Cro_PitttDidnt see him much at all yesterday 😉
And just cuz he gets picked some to bully wattson doesnt make him a good legend in general...
Bh is not in meta but the second most picked legend in the game currently
makes sense to me 😉Not to mention that i saw him much more yesterday than crypto, honestly not sure what you saw but bh was in allmost all setups lolCrypto pickrate is abysmal even with all the wattsons arround its just not worth picking him currently
The last Pickrate before the emp nerfs i could find of Crypto is 3.18% that is clearly not an okay pickrate at all@matzesingt When you're talking about meta you have to think about competitive. Casual games do not count, i see lots of octanes around but this does not make him meta.
Try watching again the finals(Europe especially). Some teams used him and they got good results. Crypto is viable with a good team, if he's not coordinated with the others then it's useless.
- @Cro_Pittt Enough that i saw NA yesterday where like 2 crypto´s have been and 15 bh´s
So i am not even talking about "casual" when you call predlobbys in high tier casual
I was playing with a random who was an amazing Crypto player.
He would ask if we're ready then do a countdown 5,4 etc to 1 to fire the stun, nade and we all dive in.
He was hoarding and asking for all Ultimate Accelerants and even asking us to hang back until he reached 100% stun ready before every push.
Even though he did least damage...he carried the team.
Final circle...enemy squad did not expect him to fire his stun again after 1 min cooldown as he stocked more accelerants.
Crypto just requires more coordination with team than others. So less likely chosen playing with randoms.
Playing with randoms its more wise to play with characters with escape abilities like Wraith or Mirage.
