Lots of insane buffs & nerfs for Season 21, what do you think?

The fact that nobody is talking about the crypto changes just shows how much people underestimate him. All of his new perks are amazing. and the constant banner scan even if you're not looking through your drone means you'll never be surprised by a 3rd party again. I honestly thought he was in a pretty good spot, so these buffs just make me happy

Ash players have been begging for that change FOR YEARS also as a big newcastle fan who already thought he was busted, this is even better now

As a Newcastle main that buff is fucking ridiculous. Newcastle did rely a lot on wattson before. It's kind of funny they didn't fix what newc needed but they gave him this insane shit instead lol. Like he still needs better castle placement. Fast tac deploy is pretty unnecessary but it does make him easier to play, so kind of lowering the skill floor slightly. But this definitely makes him strong af.

Hate they took the digi out. Re45 or Mozambique with hammers was my favorite thing this past season. No one expected a pistol through the smoke/gas.

The ash buff should’ve been there the whole time! Not enough for her

They really gave us one hand snare and that’s it 💀

I swear I kept wishing they make Ash's tactical off hand like this, like a week or two ago.... They delivered... That's crazy

That rebuilding doors change with catalyst and the trophy system of Newcastle is crazy, definitely gonna make waves in the meta. I do feel that immediate counter for the catalyst is either alter or Maggie but still, we playin fortnite with the rebuilding of doors 😂😂

EXPLAINING THE NEW CRYPTO STUFF CAUSE I'M A CRYPTO MAIN [ GENERAL BUFFS ] - Crypto HAD a perk called "network trafficing" which made it so when he threw his drone out it would tell you how many squads were in a 200m radius of the drone, this is now part of his base kit so he will always have it -When Crypto throws his drone out all of the banners will change to show how many squads are in a 200m radius even when he is NOT in the drone (this used to only work when he was in drone view) [ PERK CHANGES ] - Moved "Network expansion" perk from teir 3 (purple) to tier 2 (blue) - REMOVED ALL OTHER PERKS [ 3 NEW PERKS ] - "Quick Transmition" will make his drone accelerate and decelerate faster (making it easier to control) - "Satellite Imagry" makes it so when cryptos drone is destroyed he will still be able to see enemies for 1.5 secs (kinda bad in my opinion) - "Hackathon" this one has two perks, the first one cuts his drone cooldown in half, the second one gives him a pretty big speed boost when he uses his EMP or his drone gets destroyed (NOTE I GOT THIS INFORMATION FROM OTHER PLAYTESTING VIDEOS BUT IT MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE) that is all that I know of, tell me if I missed anything :P

The ringmaster on Fuse is an interesting one. Fuse tends favour zone comps more but then you would have to play a comp that increases his survival. As far as end game legends his is definitely underrated.

SO happy banner animation is removed. Cat rebuilding doors is insane. Newcastle wall feels like a bit much and feels bad for Wattson. Fuse ring console is… interesting. Bh extend duration is new, or old rather lol . New to perks but an old buff. I was hoping to see 99 return but feels pretty good overall. Thanks Dazs!

One handed Ash snare LETS GOOOOOOOOO

I've been waiting a long time for a buff for Newcastle and it's finally here

alter: nice buffs catalyst *phases through rebuilt door*

Thanks for this info man❤ love it🙌🏻 good luck in season 21 everyone!

Awesome vid man

I don't know if i like the digi threat being removed... I'm gonna miss it

Devotion needs to stay permanently in the package

As a wattson main: as long as they don't touch our abilities or only touch them to buff her I don't mind Newcastle copying it

The part of the crypto changes you were asking about were in regards to the big banners on the walls around the map that usually display the current champion squad, normally when crypto enters his drone those banners change to show him the current number of squads near him in a radius, so now he can see it even when not in his drone. You can actually see it happen at 8:48 with the banners directly ahead in front of you, but the F1 to upgrade gets in the way a bit

crypto has a passive (if you can call it that) that allows him to ping the big banners around the map in drone mode to show how many squads are within roughly minimap range. currently he has a perk that auto pings the number of squads nearby when he throws out his drone, instead of needing pilot the drone to ping. based on what i understand from the video, next update he's gonna get the auto ping the number of nearby squads on drone throw perk baked into his kit. emp and neurolink (his wallhack through the drone vision) range increase was in lv3 perks but they moved it to lv2, and all the other perks are new. dk how good improved drone handling is, maybe it makes it more maneuverable and harder for people to shoot down, drone scan persists for 1.5 sec probably means the scan stays for 1.5 secs after they leave drone vision range, hackathon looks like the most interesting addition since it cuts your drone cooldown from 40 to 20 secs if it gets destroyed, and the speed boost on emp definitely helps when pushing since you're usually 2 steps behind your team cause you sometimes need to position the drone and drop the emp before you can join the push.

I loved the digi. I wasn’t even mad since the re-45 could still use it

The squad count banners mean that the banners that display the champion around the map will always display how many squads are near when the drone is deployed instead of Having to look at them with neurolink (in the video notice the banner change in the background at 8:47)

The Crypto change is before you could only see the number of squads in the area on Champion Banners WHEN you were in your Drone, now he can see the number of squads in the area on those Champion anytime (so long as his Drone is out). Look at 8:55 & look at the Champion Banner at the top center of the screen, when you throw the Drone it changes to display the number of squads in the area.

Holy...Even Raven won't be able to dump on Newcastle now...

The Crypto note you wrote down was about Crypto being able to see how many squads were in a 200m radius of Crypto when in drone view and looking at banners. So now he doesn't need to use drone to see that. They've made some really good changes to Crypto that steer him away from just being man with gun when drone is destroyed and reducing how long crypto is man with gun when drone is destroyed If you pick drone recharge rate its a 20 second cooldown for when your drone is destroyed compared to 40 and speed boost to top it off. Crypto also gets the speed boost after activating EMP so these are some amazing Crypto buffs. Double right side is definitely the pick since you want a shorter EMP range to play on the outskirts off and you get a speed boost to capitalise on your damage Drone handling either means drone speed buff or entering and exiting drone buff and both are amazing

LOL!! respawn buffing catalyst to make alter shine with her tac😅😅

the gameing merchant found that the Newcastle wall can still be sky naded tho, so its not completely invulnerable from the front. Still a crazy buff tho

Crypto getting SIGNIFICANT buffs is huge. His previous perks were essentially non existent and barely helped. The timing of his perks was really awkward and it made it really challenging to actually get use from his perks. Also being able to see banners without looking into your drone actually acts like a good Crypto passive!

Speed whsitler was already one of ballistics perks... The guy needs some base kit buffs imo

bloodhound was nerfed to requiring the perk in order to extend the ult now, similar to his ravens giving ult charge before the perk system and they replaced the smaller tac cd upgrade

It looks like the new Sling perks for Ballistic is the same as the rampart mods as far as sights go. ARs and LMGs come with a bruiser, etc. Just no paintballs lol

as one of the 3 crypto mains thats so good

Crypto main. Definately happy with his perk change. Seems like they removed the EMP and Drone cooldown reduction upgrades and in favor of giving crypto better recon abilities and movement when his drone is on recharge . That speed boost makes a big difference because the main issue with Crypto it is so easy to fall behind your teammates when you do a crypto EMP push. yes even tho you did an instant 50 damage its still a 2v3 its still 2 guns vs 3 guns fight and your now running into the fight and every second your not there to help counts. The basekit for his banner pings is really good cause now you can camp in a building and just throw your drone and auto pings banner with out the risk of flying your drone out and helps streamline his gameplay more. Big W buff for crypto giving crypto something when he loses his drone is better than nothing. Crypto is the most useless when his drone is destroyed.

When in the drone, the champion banners around the map show the number of squads within the drone's range. Now while playing Crypto he sees that info in the banners even while not in the drone.

Balistic its one of my main Legends , and i like it this perk , i think its very good , when i have volt riple take and havock , and suitch triple to the 3 weopon to have a chance using long range

Can condiut stack 4 batts with yellow backpack + new perk now?

I think Bloodhound got hit with a pretty hard nerf. It seems like they won't get to extend their ult when getting knocks... Unless you choose the perk for it. Octane is going to be insane, - 10 dmg per stim is absolutely crazy, just like he used to be before Ballistic is going to be nuts you can use an Ar an Smg and also a shotty or a sniper, all fully kitted I am so hyped about these changes

@Dazs for the conduit change, does it stack with Golden Backpack?

for bloody its his purple perks, it used to do 25hp instead of 50 and the other upgrade, and the double scan duration was a purple instead of blue , his other blue upgrade was reduced tactical cooldown

tbh Cat's rebuilding doors need new custom model, it looks so unfinished xd

Removed the digi completely yet left AA unchanged. Classic Respawn moment.

As for the crypto buff, I think the wording is saying that as you approach other squads or other squads approach you, the drone will update from no enemies in the area to one squad in the area and so on and so forth. Whether it’s stowed or out and active.

@Dazs Crypto and the banners when you cast the drone, I saw the banner above change normally you only see the banner change in drone view So now it appears Crypto himself can ping the banner to quip about how many squads are near while his drone it out That is cool I like that they put that one upgrade into his base kit, but they forgot to list it in the base kit

Dazs, the bloodhound changes are both a buff and a nerf. They removed the purple perk that reduced tactical cooldown by 5 second (too many scans was too oppressive) and replaced it with that new perk that extends the uptime of the ultimate on knocks. The buff was to the second purple perk, it currently heals 25 HP per knockdown but your footage shows it healing 50 HP per knockdown.

I think Cat is back and I couldn't be happier. What they did to this legend was criminal just because of her high pick rate in ALGS. We are not pros, we just wanna have fun she was perfect.

Catalyst might be back on some maps with that door building ability. Damn, there’s might be more Newcastle now in comps.

Bh had a cooldown reduction perk. They now removed that with a perk that he already had (increase duration with knocks and ult) is that no longer just part of his ult ?

nahh the kit change for cat is dumb asff i use both long veil and sister spikes but now can only choose one??

No changes on horizon lvl 2 trashy perk?

watching the banners change in the background as you throw out the crypto drone and say u don’t know what it means was pretty comical lol

the crypto buff is quite interesting, now the level 3 first upgrade is integrated to his base kit, which is wonderful since originally when crypto doesn't have access to the "big banner", basically his passive (shows how many teams around crypto) would totally be useless. crypto was too dependent with the drone, and now with his new changes, he will be able to see the team around him without having to use drone, as long as the drone is out, u can see the number of team surround him, ALSO he would say it out how many teams are there

Next season is gonna be Vantage’s 7th season and she’s only ever gotten one change which was a extra bullet to her ult why the hell does she not get any love man 1 change in almost 2 years

Since they removed Digi threat, they need to bring Bangalores smoke to 15 seconds or more. Currently at 11 s because of the DT meta. It WAS at 18s per smoke. Now that DT is gone, they need to give her SOME smoke back 🏃🏾‍♀️💨🚀

when you ult, as ballistic, do the weapons that had digis in s20 get them on them? does wingman get skullpiercer? I know hemlock right now gets boosted loader, so curious how the ult interaction works with some guns

surely octane’s double -5 damage from stim upgrades stack up. that would be increasingly fun just spamming stims

Why can’t they just make you and your teammates unaffected by emp, that’s all Crypto needs.

I think watson is the only character with a lot of counterplay and respawn is out to get her out of the game. Every season it feels like ever since watson was released, respawn is trying their best to delete watson without actually deleting her...directly like pylon limit,shield recharge limit, octane can jump over her fance,crpto can destroy everything she does,gibby disrupting her fences, mad maggie drill, valk can fly over her fences, horizon lifting above her fence, and indirectly like bad maps for her with lots of open area with barely any cover and now with legends straight up having on of her thing going for her being put to other legends. As much as i love playing her, shes really being put down so hard by the devs that at what point does playing her count as torture? They should really rework her, buffing her really wont do anything, even if they made her fence do health 30 health damage(regardless if they have shields or not) or make the enemy also get flashbanged if they get hit by the fence wont really do much. Proplay only makes her kit harder to balance because those people control the balancing of the game more than the players who are just playing for whatever reason :(

I might go back to new castle after that update! Yoooooo

Can't believe you didn't mention (or just missed it completely, even though the reticle has changed lol) the most important change to the devo, which is hipfire getting better as you keep on firing!

Conduit needs a big tactical change, it needs to be like how the Medigun works in Team Fortress 2. You must maintain line of sight (with a little wiggle room around corners and doors), you must actively hold the tactical to give sheilds, and you can't shoot while you're healing someone. The fact that Conduit can just give herself and a teammate essentially a free bat instantly through WALLS is ridiculous. In addition you shouldn't be able to use her ultimate indoors, like how Valk cant use her tactical indoors. Its just a one click Wattson nest that fills up an entire room with 200hp per battery.

Oh my main is eating GOOOD im gonna be popping off as crypto it seems they took my feedback on the survey to heart

So with each level, do you just get an upgraded scope and upgraded everything to the gun?

If anything, I would think Fuse would have learned the Recon perk over the Controller perk as a way of saying Bloodhound taught him how to do it. Ring console feels so random lmao

Whoa the Newcastle electrification used to be 2 minutes extra for the perk now it’s 3 minutes! Les go!

Having a purple marksman or sniper at the end of the game makes ballistic pretty sick for ranked, running marksman smg/ar and shotgun

So excited to hear wingmans back on the floor. Quit early last season because it felt miserable to get and once you had it half the lobby would hunt you for it😭 finally gonna be able to use my favourite gun reliably again.

So fascinating

lol they brought back bloodhounds og ult were it extends the duration of it after a knock down. That was my favorite part about it and stopped using him as much when they removed it. Glad that’s back

Been playing ash since her heirloom...im so happy they finally added it🤧😭

So for network traffic when yiu deploy the xrone crypto will say the qmou t if swuads nearby

These changes look WILD and I'm excited to play it next week 😍

nuuuuu haha every time i find a new gun i like they put it in the care pack 😆

You missed a huge thing with crypto thats broken. When he deploys his drone all banners display teams near by without having to be in drone.

YOOOO THIS SEASON IS BANGER

As a newcastle main. 👏🏻 niice. Finally some actual buffs

A cool ash buff can be the lock onto an enemy in LOS and use the ult as an aggressive first push. You lock on, portal, and slash for like 25-50 dmg (whatever is balanced lol)

Yes Newcastle wall blocks nades but does it block throwable ults like Watson ex bang gibby horizon caustic

Does the wall actually block air strikes 2, or just grenades?

Love the crypto buffs , makes the drone way more flexible in fights. and baking in the banner scan is magnifique

the ash tac buff will be sick for making her feel less clunky in fights, the upgraded one is pretty obnoxious as well so im pretty excited about the buff. praying for some kind of buff for the ult to this day, maybe giving you the option of not going thru the portal but it still sounds like it could let for some outplays lol

I came back to the game this season and found out the digi was no longer allowed on smgs, that was upsetting as it was my favorite sight for them. And now that it’s being removed entirely is even more annoying to me

does the conduit change stack with deep pockets?

Thx u for the video. What's up with 299 fps uncapped ? You were that guy that prefers stable 144fps as i remember, not 240-250-270-299 and so on.+ - + - and chaotic 1%lows. You playing on other pc or you upgradded your gpu ?🎉

8:45 - 8:53 check out the banners above the dummy, thats what they integrated into his kit.

7:21 I wish Ash would launch her Qs from her left forearm similar to how Fuse launches his nades so her Q travels faster. Kinda silly looking and a joke to see her Q slowly making its way towards enemies at distance.

Crypto network expansion can call out how many enemies in an area which is so useful.

Very nice

Much needed buff for Crypto! :: D and catalyst and newcastle and ash = D loving all the buffs and nerfs 😻

I love bloodhound and Newcastle and these changes make them feel more adjusted to what their role is exactly. Newcastle is suppose to be a castle and now he has a moat of protection, and bloodhound didn’t have the extended duration option he already did but only pls 3sec I think more from the buff time=more aggression.

those Crypto changes are huge

If conduit has the 3 shields perk and the gold backpack, how many shields can she carry?

Bloodhound L3 perk was 25 hp per knock while in the ULT. changed to 50

New rank meta Catalyst, Newcastle and alter. Time to get my pred team for next season.

Does anyone know if vantage needs any buffs/QoL changes? I've been playing her and everyone says shes the defintion of mid, some even just say she is bad... but I haven't seen her get any buffs in a while?

Digithreats really helped with my eye sight. I have a disease in my cornea that makes it difficult to see sometimes. The digithreat really helped with my eyesight. So I’m a really disappointed they removed it. Everything else is fine. Though I do think New Castle should not have pylon ability from wattson on its Wall Ultimate.

bloodhound did indeed change. they used to always habe extended ult on knock, it wasn't locked behind a perk.

so many beautiful and wonderful buffs omg

Crypto basically gets to see how many squads is near him without being in drone.
