    Jackal Should not "global" mark scanned operators

    For the love of god ubi, remove this stupid system. we asked for this years ago before you reworked jackal.

    He still gets banned 70% of the matches because of this exact reason. no one wants to be roaming and get 4 manned by a roam clearing team because you cannot make the "scans visible to jackal only"

    Jackal SHOULD have to communicate where the pings are to his team if he wants to roam clear correctly with 2 or more team mates. combine this with dok and lion, its still the most toxic setup in the game for "roam clearing" dok has to rely on sound, lion has to rely on "partially updated scans" and hope they dont stop moving, so jackal should rely on communication when calling out "where he sees a ping" instead of the entire ******g team seeing "someone off site" because jackal sniffed his feet.

    No, he shouldn't. He really shouldn't. 100% agreed. Only he himself should be able to see footprints and/or scan them. It's even questionable as to whether or not he should be able to scan them for a ping even.

    This. No one else on Jackal's team is wearing an Eyenox headgear, why should they see the scanned player? I also find the icon distracting sometimes during engagements.

    That would make him useless tho. I ban him a lot as well since I find him to be one of the most skillless operators. It allows people who are bad at droning and situational awareness to get intel on you which shouldnt be the case. If you remove the team aspect of him however he would become basically useless as he alone wont be able to beat all the roamers there are. Id much rather see a rework /nerf that adds some skill to the way he gathers intel (less time on footprints, only being able to scan the red ones, the scanning being louder and slower giving a defender a chance to get the drop on Jackal etc.)
