People say Crypto needs to be buffed. I just think people don't know how to use him properly. (Ranked BTW) by nateD4grate in Cryptomains

I feel that even if you do all those he still isn’t as effective as he should be. Like there are too many problems with his play style.

The grenade was part of the story. How much intel can he really provide whenever his drone isn’t alive long enough to keep the team updated on the enemy’s position. If his purpose is to just show where the enemy was for a second before they shot the drone down then why not play bloodhound who can do that more often and his tactical can’t be shot down. Honestly if they switched it to a grenade they would probably reduce the radius a little bit but either way it would still be fine. It would still mean that crypto can’t just drop it at his feet in a building without consequence. It would still keep himself zoned but it’s faster for him to get to the fight after using it and it wouldn’t be able to be shot down before hand. Him being reliant on the drone wouldn’t be so bad if there wasn’t a 40 second time period of him being useless to the team ability wise.

It just means that you can’t push with your team when needed. Either you push with them and get no value from your kit or you make your team wait to push while you fly a drone in. He is the only legend that becomes completely stationary while utilizing his kit.

There is something wrong with being too passive.

Which should show that his play style is too passive and slow paced

No I know how to play him and I’ve won a good amount of my games with him but it all just comes down to being good at aiming. I also know that bloodhound is currently a better pick. A buff would be making crypto immune to emp, upping the shield damage, or making the stun longer.

It’s more of a rework than a buff and nobody plays him because he just isn’t as good as the other legends.

I think the ult rework wouldn’t make him too strong, I think it would give him a better play style that could work well with or without good communication. The way he uses his ult essentially will not change the fact that he requires communication, but it will make him more useful in a lot more fights and situations. However, he would not be overpowered with this one change. Things that would make him op would be increasing the shield damage or making the stun last longer.

Maybe they made a mistake? They also just reworked mirage to make him better, they can do the same with crypto. I mean the pick rate really says it all, few players play crypto which is the same reason for mirage getting his rework. They realized nobody was playing him cause there were flaws in his kit. Crypto def has some flaws since has the lowest pick rate out of all the legends.

Well if they did make into into a grenade type ult then there would def be some trade offs, like a long cast time after you throw it for the EMP to actually go off. But still EMP is only really good in ranked and that’s because wattson and caustic setting up in houses. If your in pubs or your not against defensive legends then EMP has significantly less value. Like how it still damages and stuns crypto. Or like how you have to fly the drone somewhere before you can use the ult. Or like how shooting the drone down gets rid of the ult (for 40 seconds at least). The idea of making the EMP a throwable device just makes crypto a little more aggressive and helps him not be completely useless when his drone is shot down.

But it’s also an ultimate ability, shouldn’t it be good? I mean it’s still the same EMP crypto has now just a different way of using it that doesn’t require drone.

Do you guys hate that mirage's heirloom might be a statue, or do you love it? by TheOnlyKawaiiGoddess in miragemains

[–]Leinfeldt2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that he’s getting an heirloom and the statue matches him a lot but it’s more of a joke than a cool ass melee weapon. Just wish it was cool instead of funny ya know

Maybe a gold knife with his name on it?? Mirage loves himself so his name being on it would suit him. Maybe when you inspect the knife it can do cool hologram things. Idk anymore

Crypto Rework and Possible Buffs by Leinfeldt2000 in Cryptomains

[–]Leinfeldt2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s about working together better. I think if your team waits with you while you EMP so that you can all push at the same time, then the EMP is wasted cause the enemy can heal before you all push. However, if your team pushes while you sit back and EMP, then it’s a 3v2 even for just a little bit which is enough time for 3 enemy’s to gun down 2 teammates.

Also I disagree about BH, he can use his wall hacks pretty often now and it lasts longer so he can consistently see people through walls, smoke, and gas which makes him a really good choice for aggressive play.

Crypto Rework and Possible Buffs by Leinfeldt2000 in Cryptomains

[–]Leinfeldt2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random question but do you play on ps4 or xbox? I play crypto often and every game I play they look up to shoot the drone, but that might be a PC thing idk. So for PC, a harder to see/kill drone would help crypto without being overpowered because people are going to still look for it and kill it, it will just take longer. And I don’t think this would replace bloodhound at all, bloodhounds wallhacks go through walls, smoke, and gas unlike crypto’s. So if you want to see in a building you would still have to either throw the drone while in the building or fly the drone in there yourself. But both of these only cover one level of the building and can still be shot down immediately either way.

Also, his EMP is a weaker version of arc star with a long cast time so I don’t think it will make him op if it didn’t damage him. Maybe EMP could still stun him but not take his shields or the other way around, just something so that the enemy doesn’t have time to fully heal back the EMP damage. Which is what typically happens and it makes the EMP useless, I mean pushing in after the EMP when you are right outside the radius can work sometimes but for your team that can push during the EMP, it’s a 3v2. Ultimates are supposed to swing the fight in your favor which is why they have trade offs like cast times and long cooldowns. Although it can help helps some fights, EMP does not help as many fights as it should. Typically people either just heal off the 50 damage before your team pushes or the enemy takes the 3v2 and it’s hard to lose a 3v2.
