So I've been thinking, like everyone here out of all the operators jackal is one of the most banned/complained about, and honestly his ability is probably the one that doesn't make the most sense.
Scan foot print and can see them across the map...sure.
What I have for a rework idea for jackal makes him more of a hunter than an informant.
When jackal activates his ability he is still able to see footprints, he can still scan the footprint, but instead of pinging them once to multiple times, it gives you a, COD type of six sense, when near the one they scanned. Sure in some sense it better but you know the general area of the person, like vigil on drones, but you know which side the person is on you, and if your wondering if directly above them it does "point" above same with below, obviously it varies with maps and how high the next floor is and vice versa.
Questions, are appreciated for anyone seeing this. (I know I could make it more clear)
I would much rather see them changing the scans to show your team only the room the op is in for 20 seconds but live. That way he actually requires map knowledge but you can still hunt/chase away roamers effectively. Also you cant just wait for the ping and prefire but the chased can actually fight back.
I dont think Jackal is OP rather incredibly annoying so if they could implement a rework that would be great. Off topic but I actually really like his gun and would like to see it in the futre on a reworked op.
